Listen to Chaz French Feat. Wale, “No Shade”

Newcomer Chaz French collabs with fellow D.C. native Wale on "No Shade." Over smooth production, Chaz and Wale wax poetically about relationships that have fallen apart but instead of focusing on the bad, they remember the good times and lessons learned fondly. Choosing to stray away from playing the part of bitter ex, the two refuse to throw shade on their former counterparts. Check it out above.

Chaz French has been rising through the ranks and recently toured with XXL Freshman GoldLink. French spoke with XXL about that tour and getting the chance to spend time with Rick Rubin. "I think the whole GoldLink Tour was just fun. That was a standout and just this whole year," he said. "I never knew I would be sitting here talking to a writer of XXL or I never knew my shit would get premiered on some of the stuff it got premiered on. Or meeting Rick Rubin, that was definitely like, 'What?' Like, I was at his house on his grass, drinking his water. Like this whole process is eye opening. Sometimes I wake up and I’m like, 'Damn, I’m making something of myself.'"
