Chadio sums up love quite perfectly with the opening line of the second single from his upcoming album: “You know it’s love when you’re not mad because she steals your sweater”. And this item of clothing becomes the metaphor for love as his relationship goes from good to bad, and he finally asks for the return of his sweater. It’s a novel approach to a love/break up song, and it’s given more heft thanks to the folk-pop singing of rapper-singer Nolto on the moody hook. “Sweater Song” is the obvious pick for a single as the catchiest and most relatable song on the 8-song collection of break-up songs that is Cousin of Lucy.
Chadio cut his teeth freestyle battling on Vancouver radio show The Morning Drive By with Maximus Clean, and stood as the freestyle champ from 1998-2000. Since then he has released eight solo albums and additional projects as a member of Imaginations Treetrunk (with Azrael and Aalo Guha), Quoted Motives (with Azrael), Dance Dance Revolution Will Not Be Televised (with Azrael, Shay Faded and Cons), and 50 Fingers (with Azrael, Kaboom Atomic and the Gumshoe Strut). He has established a unique vocal style that is organic and flips easily between flows and rhyme schemes while his lyrics tend toward the personal. Chadio also started making beats in 2016, and recently he has been releasing bootleg projects and beat tapes as Pasquale.
