Just about a week ago or so, Calboy sat down with Flaunt magazine to talk about his forthcoming project, UNCHAINED. The Chicago rapper was tied to a contract with one of the juggernauts in the record label world, RCA Records. But, things got quite shaky throughout last year. To be a little more specific it was in the first quarter of 2022. Naturally, over time, Calboy began to separate himself more and more from the situation and he seems to be in a better place mentally about it all.
While he is still more of a lone wolf-like character in the rap game, Calboy is more than happy to embrace that from the outside looking in. You get that sense because of the themes that are peppered throughout the 12-song project. In the interview, Calboy did mention that the main focus was going to center around his public and private bouts. Namely, those are his artistic freedom, lingering grief, or industry feuds.

In the lead-up to UNCHAINED, he put out the lead single "Chains off (Freestyle)." On the track, Calboy is flowing effortlessly over a trap instrumental with some angelic sampled background vocals. If you watched the music video for it, he proudly showed the name of his own record label. The Loyalty & Company era is now underway.
