Alt rap raconteur Che Lingo makes his highly anticipated return with stunning visual to intoxicating new single VIBE CHECK (Palo Santo). 

Often lauded for his diversity and innovation, Che has developed into one of the most Delphian, provocative rappers in the UK. Boasting millions of streams and critical adoration, Che’s sound swerves convention and finds itself in a lane of its own, merging alternative sensibilities with grime, trap, rap and R&B nuances, showcased in abundance on the enigmatic and compelling 2020 album The Worst Generation. ’22 had been a quiet year for Che, lingering in the shadows, preparing to make a vital impact on the wider rap scene. His long awaited return comes in the shape of VIBE CHECK, a cool, crisp and charismatic cut that draws you into the evolving sonic hemisphere of the South London spitter. 

Che comes with the type of gusto we have come to expect from the rapper; over consuming synths and monstrous rhythmic accompaniment, he drops one of his catchiest hooks to date, gifting the instrumental scores of space. Every lyric and flow feels deftly thoughtful, with Che always in control of a beat that would devour many rappers. The track is accompanied by sprawling, game changing visuals that deliver spectacular scenery, idyllic cinematography and visionary ideas.

Within a second album rumoured for early next year, Lingo’s hiatus has refocused his drive and refined his sound, now ready to have the influence that he always flirted with having.
