New Music: Chip - Reaching ft. Burna Boy

Chip has decided to bless the scene with new music, and take a break from the back to back diss tracks he's been firing out to any and everybody over the past couple of weeks.

Crossing the border into Nigeria, Chip features one of Nigeria's most prominent artists Burna Boy on his new song ‘Reaching’. 

The song kicked off the weekend after being premiered on Stormzy's ‘MERKY’ show on Beats 1 (Apple Music) on Friday evening. Thereafter it was quickly released onto digital streaming outlets.

Chip who is already familiar with the Nigerian music scene appeared on Ice Prince's ‘Mercy’, off his album ‘Fire of Zamani’ back in 2013. He now adds ‘Reaching’ to his long and growing list of international collaborations.

Smooth, well composed and diverse are the words that best describe ‘Reaching’, listen below.
