After seeing quick success of his single, ‘Rigatoni,’ feat. Mick Jenkins, Ursa the Chef teamed up with videographer Noa Iimura to capture the raw energy of the 23 year old Chicago rapper. The video finds Ursa in his element: Bouncing around, smiling, and getting sauced up. Ursa and Iimura deliver a compelling video which was shot in various locations around Los Angeles with cameos from producer, Joni Green Tea, fellow rappers, Blu Dondada and Rocco 808, and dance team, Seoula UCLA.
’Rigatoni’, featuring Mick Jenkins , might be his first real glimpse of the public eye, but up-and-coming rapper Ursa the Chef has been hard at work for years. His debut mixtape ’Stick With Your People’ produced by Fishman!, was released exclusively on SoundCloud back in September 2016, but he’s been working on his craft since 2010. His debut single ‘History’ showcased talent among fellow Chicago-area natives Saba, Cub-J, and Michael King, and landed him several opening acts on the East Coast for Post Malone.
In the two years that followed, he released several singles with producers Fishman! and JAB, including ‘Chef,’ ‘Boss,’ and ‘Champ.’ Following Rigatoni, produced by Joni Green Tea, Ursa is working on multiple projects and has music in the works with artists including theMIND and Brian Fresco.
