Chris Patrick and Dende Talk Tour, New Releases And The State Of R&B On Vocalo

New Jersey hip-hop artist Chris Patrick and Houston R&B singer Dende stopped at Schubas Tavern this month on their four-date mini tour, the “Gang Activity Tour.” Though they live in different regions of the country, the two artists got connected through the internet and have collaborated several times over the years. This year, Dende released his new album ‘’95 Civic’ under small label CXR, which Chris Patrick was a founding member of. Chris notes the label hopes to foster a strong base to support smaller artists. Before their Chicago show, Chris and Dende sat down in the Vocalo studios with Bekoe to discuss touring, performing at SXSW, upcoming releases and their favorite chicken in the city.
This interview originally aired on Vocalo Radio 91.1 FM during Mornings With Bekoe on Thursday, March 2. It was edited by Bekoe. Keep up with Chris Patrick and Dende by following them on Instagram @xchrispatrick and @iamdende.
