Deonte “Chewy” Cooper, CEO of Chew Chewy Entertainment, has struck a chord with fans yet again, as Monkey in the Middle 2 debuts at an impressive #2 in Rap Sales and #5 across all genres. This achievement underscores Chewy’s dedication to curating a diverse, vibrant hip-hop experience, uniting voices from across the nation in a project that celebrates hip-hop’s depth and dynamism.
Monkey in the Middle 2 showcases Detroit’s iconic rap scene alongside fresh sounds from emerging artists nationwide. Detroit pillars like Po Campaign and All Star Lee bring the city’s signature energy, while talents like Flint’s KrispyLife Kidd, Pontiac’s Uncle Obey, and Detroit newcomers Armani Banz, Lew Piff, and Double RJay add their unique voices, capturing Michigan’s broad influence on hip-hop.
Expanding beyond Michigan, Chewy brings in talent from Florida and Jamaica, creating a cross-regional tapestry of sound. Project Youngin, with collaborations alongside artists like Lil Baby and NBA YoungBoy, delivers a Southern flair, while Kingston infuses the album with Jamaican rhythms, bridging Caribbean and hip-hop vibes. Club favorites Day Day Badass and Detroit Barbie, fresh from her collaboration with Gorilla Zoe, also add their energy, rounding out a lineup as dynamic as it is diverse.
Chewy collaborated with an all-star producer lineup to shape Monkey in the Middle 2, mixing Detroit’s classic beats with groundbreaking new sounds. Co-producers Fanyy 808, DJ Pain, Trell On Da Trak, Fishscale OTB, Tre on The Beat, and others bring a fresh depth to the album. Adding a personal touch, Chewy’s son, Sincere, served as the album’s executive producer, rooting the project in family legacy. The album also features Bella Blaq, celebrated for her role on P-Valley, alongside Grammy-winning producer Fya Man, who has worked with legends like Jay-Z and Kanye.
“This project celebrates talent and passion from all over, uniting diverse styles and voices,” Chewy shared. “Thank you to everyone who pre-saved, pre-ordered, and supported this vision. This success belongs to the fans, and it’s just the beginning.”
