TRANSITION- NEW ALBUM
18TH APRIL 2011
Award-winning MC, CHIPMUNK returns with his highly-anticipated second album. TRANSITION resolutely places the, recently turned 20, rapper, in the higher echelon of MC’s, not only in this country, but on an international level and demonstrates huge personal and lyrical growth.
Featuring international superstars such as Jamaica's dancehall king Mavado, R&B Queen Keri Hilson, Kelenna Harper from Diddy Dirty Money, acclaimed singer Trey Songz and rising UK rapper and long time CHIPMUNK cohort, Wretch 32, TRANSITION looks set to be a monumental album.
"This album is about lines that really make you think; I've put my gut into this. I orchestrate my music, it's all done by me with my producer Harmony,” says CHIPMUNK, “I had my whole life to make my first album; I had a year to make this one, so I wanted it to reflect how much my life has changed over this last year."
The album’s lead single, CHAMPION, featuring Chris Brown, was an epic re-entry into the music world. The single, which hit number two, has so far received over 4 million views on YouTube and was A-Listed on Radio 1, 1Xtra and Capital.
Exuding confidence, a sharp sense of humour, and an astute analytical edge, the appropriately titled TRANSITION, sees CHIPMUNK return lyrically and sonically to his underground roots, with a record that is harder, darker and full of intricate lyrical complexities. Tracks like THEN AND NOW and GET ME HOME, produced by Harmony, who was behind much of his platinum selling debut, I AM CHIPMUNK… explore CHIPMUNK’s evolution from ambitious street MC to established star accomplishing more than most could have predicted.
The double MOBO winner, who has over 200,000 followers on Twitter and has had in excess of 13million views on YouTube, has so far sold over 300,000 copies of his platinum debut album, I AM CHIPMUNK… As well a No.2 album, Chip also scored two Top 10 hits with DIAMOND RINGS and LOOK FOR ME, while OOPSY DAISY gave him his first No.1 single.
His new sound pushes CHIPMUNK into a different sonic dimension, while his astute wordplay demonstrates an artist who has attained a new level of awareness. Now a fully-formed rapper with the talent, tenacity and ability to go against any major US rap star, Chip is the ultimate representation for his generation on many levels.

Still at college in London studying for his A-Levels, Chipmunk will undoubtedly feel like he has a lot to prove, but others might think he’s already done that after writing every song on his album as well as ripping up crowds in support of stars like Lil Wayne and Dipset.
Keep an eye on Chipmunk – he’s undoubtedly one of the most exciting acts for 2009.
