July Song 2: "Chaila" by Denise Chaila

“Chaila” by Denise Chaila

Feel the pure joy of self-described Zambian-Irish word maker Denise Chaila’s “Chaila”. It’s magically delicious. (Not sorry).

DENISE CHAILA BIO: What’s Irish rap? It’s a sound that you can’t predict…

In her breakthrough track Copper Bullet, Denise Chaila succinctly described the thriving hip-hop scene in Ireland. The fact that Chaila was able to convey the sentiment of a nation in one perfect line displays both her depth and skill. It perhaps partially explains why, following the release of her debut EP Dual Citizenship in February 2019, Denise has become one of the most in-demand MCs in Ireland and beyond. On the live-front, during the past year Denise has performed at the Barbican Centre in London, the National Concert Hall in Dublin and the Black Box Theatre, Galway - all three as part of the critically-acclaimed Imagining Ireland series, and made a number of summer festival appearances last year at the likes of Body & Soul, All Together Now, Electric Picnic and Other Voices Dingle. In February 2020, she headlined St. Michael’s Church for Other Voices Mayo in a televised performance for RTÉ 2. A full-length musical project will be released later in 2020 on narolane records. Already, with just a single solo EP under her belt, Denise Chaila has been tipped as one to watch worldwide by the likes of NPR (USA), BBC (UK) and RTÉ (Ireland). On top of this, actor Cillian Murphy interviewed Chaila for Port Magazine, she wrote a piece that was included in Kevin Barry’s seminal arts anthology Winter Papers, and featured on the cover of The Irish Times’ ‘50 people to watch in 2020’.

“Chaila” by Denise Chaila

I do what I want with my pronouns

Keep it low key on my profile

I raise the bar when I come through

You already know it’s gonna go down

My name’s not that hard to pronounce

Pre-K, it’s not profound

C-H-A-I-L-A

Sound the words out

It’s not Chillay

It’s not Chilala

Not a hard pill to swalla

Chai-li or Chalia

Chia, Chilla, Dilla

That’s not my name

Say my name

I’ve got drive, don’t need gas

I wanna go far, not go fast

Chemical X when I power up

Turn back now? Hard pass

I don’t go Dutch when I checkmate

I keep the banner on my chest plate

All these takes, so lukewarm

You should just say it with your chest, mate

It’s not Chillay

It’s not Chilala

Not a hard pill to swalla

Chai-li or Chalia

Chia, Chilla, Dilla

That’s not my name

Say my name

Broke cycles every time that I spoke so I took the training wheels off

Tour de France, covered new ground for all the hope that pain cost

Not all who wander lose their faith and not all who wander are lost

I know my heart and I know my name and I know the path that I walk

I work this hard so I can harvest

Won’t pick my fruit from the low branches

I don’t know you, man, but I know dances

Pre the journey, who’s gonna stop this?

I don’t need gifts if you look Musky

Stay philanthro-pissed

Don’t need your Concern if you’ll look at me

And see a Trócaire kid

Flow on lough like Derg

Don’t care what you heard

My word is my bond

And my name is my word

The soul of my world

And

It’s not Chillay

It’s not Chilala

Not a hard pill to swalla

Chai-li or Chalia

Chia, Chilla, Dilla

That’s not my name

Say my name

C-H-A-I-L-A

C-H-A-I-L-A

C-H-A-I-L-A

C-H-A-I-L-A

C-H-A-I-L-A

C-H-A-I-L-A

C-H-A-I-L-A

C-

I do what I want with my pronouns

Keep it low key on my profile

I raise the bar when I come through

You already know it’s gonna go down

My name’s not that hard to pronounce

Pre-K, it’s not profound

C-H-A-I-L-A

Sound the words out

It’s not Chillay

It’s not Chilala

Not a hard pill to swalla

Chai-li or Chalia

Chia, Chilla, Dilla

That’s not my name

Say my name

It’s not Chillay

It’s not Chilala

Not a hard pill to swalla

Chai-li or Chalia

Chia, Chilla, Dilla

That’s not my name

Say my name
