If sharing the same bill as Rapsody,joining Ebro forApple Music's DISCOVERED, catching the attention of HOT 97 as well as iHeartRadio, and being added to TIDAL's Hip-Hop: RISING playlist all while consistently releasing quality content wasn't enough to convince critiques that Cleveland's Chelsea Pastel (@chelsea_pastel) is poised to be crowned Rap royalty, her newest release is sure to solidify just that. On โ€œ2 Much,โ€ the follow up to โ€œGreenerโ€ & โ€œPrice Going Up,โ€ the Ohio outlier partners with MajorStage (@MajorStageMusic) to deliver a unique live performance experience that personifies song lyrics "too much talk with no action where Iโ€™m from we call it cap."

Starting with a powerful intro, โ€œ2 Muchโ€ explodes into an earthshaking drop, featuring a hook so addictive youโ€™ll be shouting it all day long. Channeling the gritty sound pioneered by acts like Three 6 Mafia, A$AP Mob, Father, and Key!, the song successfully brings nostalgia while putting a fresh twist on the current female rap scene. Recorded in a home studio session amongst friends, the infectious energy of โ€œ2 Muchโ€ shines through every bar.

Born and bred in Forest City, Chelsea found her passion for music early on, which led her to enroll in the Cleveland School of Arts. After graduating, Chelsea began to make a name for herself throughout the Midwest and beyond. Her unique sonic style, catchy hooks, and lyrical prowess have earned her the title of Cleveland's Next Up talent.

Apart from accolades, which include being featured regionally on WKYC and Dirty Glove Bastard as well as national recognition on top-tier entertainment networks like BET, Chelsea is a self-taught instrumentalist who often handles her production, writing, and engineering. Her unique brand of ballads can be best classified as a fusion of Rap and Pop with a touch of Rock accented by old-school flavor.
