A year after releasing Everything’s Fine, Quelle Chris is back with a new solo album featuring Jean Grae, Bilal Salaam, Mach Hommy, Denmark Vessey and many more. Known for his off the wall style that has inspired artists like Earl Sweatshirt & Danny Brown, Quelle is a true innovator and artist. The newest album, Guns, from the eccentric artist drops on 3-29-19 (Mello Music Group.) Aided by excellent guest turns from the likes of Jean Grae, Denmark Vessey, Cavalier, Mach-Hommy, Bilal Salaam, and more, Quelle Chris has delivered perhaps the most pointed, most personal, and all-together perfectly crafted album of his career.  

Every time a shooting makes the news talking heads pop up in small boxes and make loud arguments about how we shouldn’t rush to politicize what just happened. After all, the heads argue, guns don’t kill people. People kill people. But how true is that? Are the tools we use simply tools, innocuous until we give them meaning? Or are the things we surround ourselves with –– the things in our arsenal –– begging to be weaponized, for good or for evil? Guns is a careful study of all these questions, an urgent record for urgent times. Today, Quelle Chris releases the first video, “Obamacare,” from Guns.  The animated video is directed by Quelle himself and in typical Quelle fashion, includes hidden imagery in plain sight that requires multiple views.
