Phenom R&B Artist Chikoruss Shares New Track: USC
Montreal R&B phenom Chikoruss brings the energy with his bouncy new track “USC” out April 26th via 300 Entertainment.
Directed by Blu, the music video draws inspiration from the classic film Love & Basketball where the two lead characters, Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps, fall in love at the University of Southern California. The song arrives on the heels of his label-debut single “In 2 Deep” which has reeled in millions of Spotify streams and earned critical acclaim.
Rated R&B applauded how “‘In 2 Deep’ immediately transports listeners to the 2000s,” and Billboard Canada named it among their weekly “Fresh Sounds Canada.” and raved, “With its catchy repeating riff and smooth ladies’ man vocals, his new single could easily fit between Mario and B2K on a BET playlist.”
The Recording Academy welcomed him to its prestigious “Press Play” series where he delivered a stunning acoustic rendition of the track.
On the new song, Chikoruss shares, “USC came together after I collabed with my boy Malik95 who produced the track. He played me the beat and then we caught a vibe in the studio. I really wanted to continue with the same energy and vibes that my audience knows and loves. The goal is still the same: we’re bringing back R&B you can dance too!”
