Never do things by halves.

[@realtalkrecordsuk]

I just wanted to say that I wrote this couple years ago. I am currently 5 and a half months tee total. I’m never going back to my old ways…: big love ❤

[@M.QuIiZz]

Old ways, old days, just a mad phase, time treated like zoots just to blaze away, I’m glazed over reminiscing on the choices made, I’m tuned out of the white noise of everyday, I fight demons in the quiet of my head space, scared to dream cause of the riot there ain’t no escape. But just in case there is respite I hold my place, fight back, wake up and live another day.

Topman joey, KEEP GROWING BRUV ❤️☮️💙🌍🧩

[@AM-gf7zv]

Really liking these songs. I hope you keep posting them and hopefully even drop an album with them later.

[@Voting-does-nothing]

You a true legend mate. You put this out on my 44th birthday too! :) I truly hope that you don't ever stop doing what you want to be doing G. 💥💥💥💥❤️🇬🇧

[@homeboyTIMOSMAN]

Thats excellent man. To wrestle with yourself like that and come on top is fucking HUGE, might as well go climb a mountain with no gear. Making that decision and actually seeing it through takes so much will power that it's rare to see, and no one can really pass judgement on people failing to do so. Most of us are too afraid of the mere thought of trying. You come off so humble, hopefully you feel a healthy sense of pride over your accomplishment so far and use that as fuel in the future. I'm over here writing big sentences like im fucking dr. Phil or something...just wanted to say hats off bro. I'll for sure use your example as inspiration. Me and my immediate family are over here treversing our own mountain ranges, so I got my own hands full. But big up yourself

[@googleaccount4159]

I always had MF DOOM down as the greatest lyricist of our time, but Chester is definitely up there with him. I only wish more people could see this man’s genius.

[@cicero7409]

Chester P, MF DOOM, Aesop Rock, Eyedea, Samson, Atmosphere. Let me know if you've found any others.

[@RollerKingJack]

So true man 👏 it makes me rather emotional how good he is 😢 like he is honestly one of the all time greatest poets of our time, no need to talk about being a agngster or whatever, just truly heart felt words about everyday British life I love it

[@SuperChrisDub]

@@cicero7409 Add Mic Righteous. Very different to Chester but a great poet in his own way. I've never heard another rapper with Mic's passion. He's the one rapper that goes deep on the emotions that men go through and his social commentary is incredibly insightful, too.

Thank you for everything you have done. I'm only 33 and since 15 you're music has never failed to bring a tear to my eye and inspire me. You have a special thing in your soul Chester. Bless you

We need a new Freestyle Chess on a hip-hop beat, set the new levels for 2024 💥

[@altasoulgang]

Man I felt the pain in your voice and every word. Hope you’re doing alright g. That was so poetic and beautiful. This is the perfect example of the beauty within the pain. Hope you find the peace and love you deserve. Sending love your way cuz 💚

[@tedpalmer1537]

Two videos in 24 hours, awesome. Hopefully we'll be seeing even more new material in 2024

Nothing but the utmost respect for you bro. The world is a better place for having you in it. The definition of keeping it real, right here.

[@pitchdark2024]

I showed my mate one of your videos a few days ago cos we used to listen to you when we were like 13, youre the best uk rapper mate he was like I love chester P i forgot about him. get moving man, no need to be drinking a useless can, get on the news stand, ..up for your country and show dem that you da man!

[@CrownJewelzMusicGroup]

Blessed

[@senzsational]

Chess, your bars can talk straight to my soul. For the longest time, whenever people wanted to know how I was feeling or where I was at, I would just say nothin, and play them The Wickerman Theory. It said it all. Im from Whitechapel but am now sitting in a rehab in Western Australia and your chats help me so much more than the pre programmed dog shit "classes" they teach. I remember seeing you an your brother at Kung Fu in Camden all them years ago. Some of the best nights of my life at dem gigs...... Nothing but love for you chappie......

[@levmccor54]

wickerman theory is so dope what a deep track

[@cake_fingers4548]

This is brilliant!!

[@dboudro7297]

Goosebumps on this one, well beyond relatable. Incredible how music and lyrics can reach and move those it's meant too. Blessed for hearing this! Thanks for sharing! 🙏

[@TheRiot187]

Oh my days, Chester. This is incredible. Thank you, my man. I sincerely hope you're leaving the drugs and the drink, brother. You're too special to all us fans. Stay well. All love.

[@vaultcomics2897]

Mad love man, this is beautiful

[@mattchilds3294]

The best there is.

[@SuperChrisDub]

Wow. That made me feel some way. Really brought back the daily dread. Different paths, different poisons, same feelings. So happy not be there anymore. I know I don't know you personally but I'm glad you aren't, either. Stay strong, brother. You articulate things that I daren't touch. Sobriety, for me, can hinge on the tiniest perturbations. Blessings, Chris

[@BillOdyssey]

Be nice to see you round the festivals performing like this...

[@nolungs1]

Thank you Joey for sharing this with us. I hope you know how much we appreciate you dude. Regardless how you choose to do it, the real ones always got your back for LIFE bro. Massive peace and love to you. Thank you x

[@killamarirecords]

Lush this , reminds me of one if my favourite verses by you from 'world without love' I'm all over this acoustic solo stuff ❤

[@realtalkrecordsuk]

I actually recorded and posted that verse on the exact same guitar riff funnily enough. Cos I can’t play anything more complex and rap at the same time. I find it so hard. Lolz. I can play far more advanced now but only instrumental. Hope your well brother 🙏💚

[@killamarirecords]

@@realtalkrecordsuk i bet, i cant keep time rappin' unless im staring in the middle distance zoned out lol too many distractions, playin must be like that, pattin belly rubbin head business. still im well impressed mate.

Beautiful! May I ask, are you self taught on the acoustic? Im learning myself and wondered if Its possible to create my own tunes with practice and KZbin tutorials?

[@realtalkrecordsuk]

Self taught yes. And started in my 30’s. I learnt by practicing and KZbin tutorials. Peace 💚

[@LordBarko]

Oof. Left it dead and buried. Lovely.

[@realtalkrecordsuk]

I’m so sorry about that Thankyou for enlightening me: I shall edit that now. Many thanks my friend.

[@jkutv]

If you spaced out the bars more and slowed it slightly with bigger depth on the production you could reach a greater audience and sell. There is space for impact by simplifying it making it feel less jarring.
