Download of the Week: Chuck Dimes gives us his "Milk Money"
Fresno emcee Chuck Dimes dropped "Keep the Change," his new album, last week. Today we're offering up the album's first cut, "Milk Money," as a free download to Beehive readers.
"Keep the Change" is 14 tracks deep, with a certain true school hip-hop ethos that Chuck Dimes is known for. The album also takes turns into both personal and political territory.
There are guest spots from Fashawn, Diego Redd, Turbin and more, plus production contributions from the likes of 3 a.m. Hecktik Soprano, and KP, who produced "Milk Money."
One more note: Chuck Dimes and crew are filming the video for "Milk Money" on Wednesday morning. If you want to be in it, be in front of Sugar Hill at 10 a.m.

I listened to some of this CD and I was pleasantly surprised. The production & lyrics were better than a lot of the other local stuff. Color me a Chuck Dimes fan, indeed!

Hi Mike. If there are any new Chuck Dimes tracks you like from the new record that are FCC safe, please e-mail me to me. I'd like to play some on my KFSR show.
