Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Gabriel Teodros, host of Early on KEXP, is "Alive Ain't Always Living" by Quelle Chris, from the 2022 album Deathfame on Mello Music Group.
Fresh off co-composing part of the score for the Oscar-winning film Judas and The Black Messiah, rapper Quelle Chris returned last week with his latest full-length, DEATHFAME.
The Detroit-based artist (real name: Gavin Tennille) describes the genre-defying new LP like "an incredible lost tape found at a flea market." Guests include Navy Blue, Pink Siifu, and Quelle's longtime collaborator Chris Keys co-produces a few of the album's tracks.
