Chaka Boy's "North Division" arrives as a five-track DJ pack original, remix, both instrumentals, an acapella the third single pulled from A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska, his werewolf-concept album on Hand'Solo Records. Written and performed by Chaka Boy, produced by The Dirty Sample, mastered by Dorc. With the previous two singles rolled out the same way, the format is less a rollout choice at this point than a signature. The label's notes frame "North Division" as a defiant, artist-first statement loyalty, protecting the inner circle, the craft treated like religion over a Dirty Sample beat they liken to a slow-burn western score: hushed, cold, the calm before the shootout. The album itself lands at the end of the month as an official Cassette Week release, with the tape carrying the instrumentals on its B-side a format decision that doubles as a remix invitation. The bigger picture deserves a line, too: Hand'Solo, the Toronto institution holding down Canadian underground rap since 1996, is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year. A Canadian Werewolf in Alaska arriving in that season feels less like scheduling than like a statement from the roster.
