Cheff

With a confident and gritty yet introspective style, St. John's-based rapper Cheff skillfully merges his throwback aesthetic, playful lyrics, and energetic production, drawing influences from prominent artists like Pop Smoke, Mac Miller, Drake, and J. Cole.

Born Tyler Traverse, Cheff embarked on his music career in early 2021, debuting with his first EP, 'Top of my Game' in June, followed by the fan-favorite collaboration 'Feel like the Plug' with Ciggy Blacc in October. Although 2022 featured one of Cheff's most significant records, the collaboration with Slim Dinero on 'Stallin', he spent much of the year on hiatus, focusing on refining his penmanship, discovering his unique style, and broadening his musical horizons.

The year 2023 has proven the hiatus was fruitful. With collaborations from some of Canada's most notable Hip-Hop figures, Evil Ebenezer and JYAY, alongside the release of his 6-song EP, 'The Sweetest Fruit in the Butcher Shop', Cheff is poised to establish himself as a leading name in Canadian Hip-Hop.
