New Release: DA GAIMCHNG3R’s Final Album

West Coast hip-hop legend DA GAIMCHNG3R announces the release of his final studio album, Last Of My Kind: The Final Journey, marking the close of a powerful 35+ year career in the music industry.

DA GAIMCHNG3R is a founding member of iconic groups South Central Cartel, Havoc & Prodeje, and Murder Squad, and helped make history as part of the first West Coast rap group signed to Def Jam Records under Russell Simmons. He is also the son of soul legend Robert "Squirrel" Lester of The Chi-Lites, carrying a deep musical legacy.

This final album showcases DA GAIMCHNG3R as a solo artist with a unique delivery and sound. The project features 13 songs, each different in style and energy, ranging from mellow and reflective to raw and hard-hitting. Production comes from Mellow Mac, Hitman, and DA GAIMCHNG3R himself, with features from legendary friends and collaborators.

Visually, the project is just as strong, with eight music videos already completed and plans to release videos for all 13 tracks. In support of the album, The Final Journey Tour begins in January, with shows booked worldwide. DA GAIMCHNG3R plans to retire at the end of 2026, making this album and tour a final statement to the culture.
