Problem, also known as JasonMartin, has been a force in the industry for years. Starting out behind the scenes, writing music for icons like Snoop Dogg and Terrace Martin, he quickly made a name for himself with his breakout single “Like Whaaat” in 2013. Since then, he has continued to solidify his place in the mainstream with projects like Selfish and the Rosecrans EP, a collaboration with the legendary DJ Quik. His recent releases, Coffee & Kush, Vol. 1 and 2, as well as A Compton Story, have been met with widespread acclaim, showcasing his versatility and talent as an artist.
Meanwhile, DJ Quik, a pioneer in the G funk sound, has been a prominent figure in rap since his debut in the early-‘90s. With multiple Billboard chart-topping records and RIAA-Gold and Platinum certifications to his name, he is a true heavyweight in the industry. His production credits range from hits like Tony! Toni! Toné!’s “Let’s Get Down” to collaborations with the likes of Janet Jackson and Jay-Z. The Rosecrans EP, his last full-length effort with Problem, was a testament to the chemistry between these two artists, and fans are eager to see what they have in store with ‘Chupacabra’.
The first single from the album, “Workout”, featuring Lil Jon and Rodney O, is a high-tempo, motivational track that is sure to get listeners pumped up. The artists have even partnered with ESPN to sync the record throughout the 2024 NBA Playoffs, giving it even more exposure and reach.
