Issue 11

Hometown: Baldwin Village a.k.a. "The Jungles" (Los Angeles)

Reigning from the Baldwin Village neighborhood of Los Angeles, CHUCKSTAAA is a melodic style rapper who’s been making music since 2019. While not officially a member of No Entry Ave, Chuckstaaa has worked closely with multiple members of the up and coming music collective. He tells UNDRGRND that Virtue O.s.O. & NateNastyyyy are two of his trusted ears on the production/engineering side, and has music with No Entry artist & fellow Issue 11 cover subject, Lou B Ca$h.

Away from No Entry involvement, Chuckstaaa stands on his own 10. He’s worked with some of the hottest producers in the city — GotDamnitDupri, Low the Great & Cypress Moreno — and has music with top artists like Baby Stone Gorillas. In January 2023, Chuckstaaa dropped his most recent full-length tape — “More To Lose”, an 8-song collab-project with Slumlord Trill.

In his personal life, Chuckstaaa says he enjoys being with his son. His favorite movie all-time is Training Day (2001), and shouts out "C and W" as his current go-to restaurant.
