Paper Route EMPIRE Signee Chitana Drops Off New “Hard Times” Visual

Chicago’s Chitana brings hard work and a conversational flow Young Dolph’s Paper Route EMPIRE as their new signee. Showing the world what he’s capable of in his first PRE release, Chitana shares “Hard Times,” a soulful and reflective track seeing Chitana thinking about his upbringing in Chicago, all that the city has endured, and how the principles of perseverance and a strong work ethic were instilled in him from a young age.

“Man we used to shovel snow, even rake some leaves/My n****s did done some sh*t that you wouldn’t even believe.”

Chitana lyrics in “Hard Times”

The video is a tribute to his hometown of Chicago’s strong spirit during the pandemic, as Chitana gives a tour of some notable Chitown landmarks and the camera takes time to focus on the city’s citizens and their struggle.

Home to artists like the rising superstar Key Glock and boisterous personalities like Big Moochie Grape, Young Dolph’s Paper Route EMPIRE is one of rap’s most successful independent labels. Chitana brings a different perspective to the label, his introspective bars providing a new perspective on street living, while keeping the same ten toes down authenticity for which the label is known.
