About “”The Beast Within”
A proverbial howl that sets the tone for the entire album, Chaka Boy’s upcoming A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska, “The Beast Within” is born from the duality of man and the transformation of energy. The second single touches on the internal struggle of balancing opposing forces and allowing animal instinct to completely take over. Good vs evil. Positive vs negative. Thus, “The Beast Within”. Chaka Boy’s lyrics are about navigating the fog, keeping your guard up, and letting the raw truth surface. Project producer The Dirty Sample creates an atmospheric mood that acts as a blueprint for the rest of the project, marking the exact moment when something hidden finally wakes up. Run for your lives!
