Chakuza - Hoss Mi

Chakuza's studio album, "Hoss Mi," is scheduled for release on September 12, 2025, on the Tonträger Records label. It consists of 12 tracks, totaling 38 minutes and 44 seconds, and opens with the track "Sonst no was." One track, "Sonst no was," features a collaboration with DJ Crum. Previous studio album: Gesucht & zerstört (2025). Album release date: September 12, 2025. Next studio album: Träume Drama Drums (2025). Chakuza is active with a discography including the studio albums Gesucht & zerstört and Hoss Mi, both released in 2025.

A compact structure of twelve tracks in forty minutes

The album's structure is based on strict economy, where every second counts. The total duration of 38 minutes and 44 seconds for twelve tracks offers a high average density, rejecting the economy of time in favor of maximum concentration. This binary structure is framed by a defined opening track and a closing track, "Aus is," creating a restricted universe where the material does not dilute. The project functions as a narrative concentrate, where the entire weight of the album rests on tracks like "Bang den Shit." This compactness transforms each track into a moment of complete attention, avoiding smooth transitions in favor of a direct and sharp progression. The affirmed narrative density in 12 tracks creates a constant pressure that defines Chakuza's solo project under the Tonträger Records label.

Access to the album through collaboration with DJ Crum

Entry into this world is achieved through a precise and unique choice: the presence of an artist credited as a guest on the opening track. On "Sonst no was", DJ Crum makes an appearance to mark the entry into the album, adding a distinct color to this first side of the project. This unique collaboration is the only featured artist that truly marks the entry into this limited world, suggesting that the encounter takes place from the very first seconds of listening. The explicit mention of "feat. DJ Crum" on the tracklist confirms this pivotal role for the first track, while the rest of the album remains free of external collaborations. This solitary break immediately sets the tone: a total introspection where external dialogue is limited to the initial moment.

A deliberately austere and autonomous artistic approach

Beyond this single collaboration, the album's discography reveals a deliberately austere approach to shared visuals. The inclusion of only one featured artist on the entire album suggests a complete focus on introspection, with producer Chakuza refusing to share his voice or sounds with other artists in the official credits. The structure seems to impose a solitary artistic approach, where each track, except the first, must carry its own weight without the support of a credited featured artist. This is a clear statement of intent: here, it is Chakuza's private world that is expressed, framed by the strict limitations of the Tonträger Records label. "Hoss Mi" positions itself as a solitary project, where the narrative density (12 tracks in 38 minutes) and the single credited featured artist (DJ Crum on the opening track) define an independent project under the Tonträger Records label. Between "Sonst no was," which introduces DJ Crum with surgical precision, and "Aus is," which concludes the series, the album forms a closed loop, where each track contributes to this rigorous economy of time. Comparing "Hoss Mi" with previous studio albums such as Gesucht & zerstört (2025) and subsequent releases like Träume Drama Drums (2025) shows Chakuza in full creative activity, navigating between projects that seem to be linked together within a single year, 2025. This album marks a step where artistic solitude is not only accepted but structured as an aesthetic choice, transforming the absence of other credited artists into a narrative force rather than a limitation.
