Chacx and African China team up on new single Forgive
- Singer Chacx has released a new single called Forgive, featuring veteran musician African China.
- The song came out on Friday, October 30, and pairs a newer voice with an established one.
- Chacx, whose real name is Manu Charles Chukwuye, signed with Homeboy International Music this year.
Nigerian singer Chacx has put out a new song, Forgive, on which he shares the mic with veteran musician African China. The single was released on Friday, October 30.
The pairing brings together a younger artiste and a singer long associated with street-rooted music that speaks to everyday Nigerian life. African China's catalogue has often touched on social realities, and that background shapes the feel of the new record.
Chacx, whose real name is Manu Charles Chukwuye, said he valued the chance to work with someone whose music has connected with listeners for years.
"Working with African China is an exciting experience for me," he said.
He added that teaming up with an artiste from another generation pushed him to see the song from fresh angles and to grow as a musician.
