Last year an exceptional hiphop artist briefed me to design his album
art. What an honour! This conscious artist's love for the human race, its struggles,
triumphs and life lessons are brought to life and packaged as
Legkaart: Die Kruis & die Kroon.
This debut album contains songs written to inspire and to affect the
human fibre in such a way that you have no choice but to roll up your
sleeves and make a difference.
This is arguably,
Kaapse Afrikaans at it's absolute best. Lutron surpassed estimated sales and has been placed at number one on the Hiphop charts on
GoodhopeFM for his single, Kalsium for a number of weeks.
His album is available at African Music Store in Long Street, Cape Town.
For the real hiphop heads this album delivers every time you press
play! Follow Chase Lutron on Twitter:

This project contains a great combination of positive spirit and great
writing skills. I really value Chase Lutron's attitude and attention to
detail in his lyrics. Hip hop needs this kind of energy, right now. ~ Shaheen of

“Ek het Chase Lutron se album Legkaart vir 2 weke op rotation gehou om verseker te maak dat ek niks gemis het ie. Sy rymklets skills, diep lyrical content en flow maak hom een van'ie beste Afrikaanse MCs. These days is it difficult om daai combination te kry, especially die diep content en 'n MC wattie bang is om sy hart oppie CD te expose nie. Thanks bra, ek is 'n fan. My favourite tracks are "Vlugsout", "Sit it Da", "2 Gesig", "Veg vir die lug", "7580%","Legkaart", "Kalsium", ... YOR! kwaai album my bru”

Legkaart -Kruis en die Kroon Album by Chase Lutron is a generous 21 track offering with production duties shared by seven producers.
The album carries a clear message of hope without sounding preachy or sacrificing listenability yet its hallmark is how it aligns with the values behind the activity of
Project Break Free – a youth outreach program of which Chase is a member.
As difficult as it is to pick a favourite track, there’s brilliance in the anthemic REEN, the radio friendly KALSIUM and HOU MOED. This is Hip Hop you can enjoy with your kids around. A must buy.
