Quelle Chris Announces DEATHFAME, Shares New Single

Quelle Chris is one of rap’s most unpredictable and exciting figures, coming up as a student of Detroit hip-hop and blossoming into an innovative lyricist, producer, animator and more. Today (April 7), Quelle announces his forthcoming album DEATHFAME, which arrives May 13 via Mello Music Group.

The album’s first single “Alive Ain’t Always Living” begins with a muffled organ, sounding like a mysterious cassette found at a yard sale. Quelle’s calm delivery transforms the song into a hypnotic sermon despite it’s deceptively melancholy sound as he reflects on his blessings.

DEATHFAME arrives two years after the second installment of Innocent Country, Quelle’s project with frequent collaborator Chris Keys. With all production handled by duo, the album also features Navy Blue, Pink Siifu and more.

Below, listen to “Alive Ain’t Always Living” and keep scrolling for complete details of DEATHFAME. You can preorder the album ahead of its May 13 release here.
