His tracks have been related to summer jams from the 80's and with no sampling noted to date, he draws his audience mostly from the Chicago and LA rap fans. Having done a large portion of the cool-kids releases as well as featuring in other illRoots releases, he is considered a force to be reckoned with(in the near future).

Chuck Inglish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put it in the air, rolling up about a quarter
I need to bend a corner she tryna get up on me
You cuter than a button but I'm tryna make some money
Putting hundreds, fifties, twenties into a knot in my sock
Triple that, I put a band into my Ewing shoebox
Now how much do you got arate chopping the shop
I shot a chopper I'm hot
Man you know what I'm 'bout
Beep me, meet me up at the Chinese takeout
Beep me if you need another one for the drop
System loud, riding out like I ain't fucking with cops
Top down, riding 'round and I'm hitting the spots
I got bass off in my trunk G I don't fuck with the law
Ahh, peace to my dogs
Cookies in my raw, I'm about to get it all
Peace to my dogs
Cookies in my raws, man I'm 'bout to get it all
Shit, built Ford Tough
Couple sports cars here to pick these up
Whoop whoop whoop whoop, say I won't
Getting dough, nigga, say I don't
Handle problems like a Harlem Globetrotter
Off my knee, through the net, use your head, I'm talking soccer
Talking who's got it, low-key who's hotter
Honest, I'm really out here partner
You can ask ya grandmother 'bout me
Riding in the Monte, shaking dice, rolling chronic
Unstrapped up-towns, I'm the Air Force rocker
On the block with a Robert Horry Jersey from the Rockets
Poetic with my sonnets, eclectic with the knowledge
What I'm really saying though is my shit be the hottest
Drop Convertibles in August, now they gotta call us
Cause niggas rip the tape like a Velcro wallet
Put the scarecrow on 'em, what you gon' do 'bout it
In the drop Bronco with them big ass tires
Shit, built Ford Tough
Couple sports cars here to pick these up
Whoop whoop whoop whoop, say I won't
Getting dough, nigga, say I don't
Shit, built Ford Tough
Couple sports cars here to pick these up
Whoop whoop whoop whoop, say I won't
Getting dough, nigga, say I don't
In "Drops", Chuck Inglish takes us through a typical day of his surrounded by his friends as they smoke weed and make money. The lyrics paint a picture of a carefree lifestyle where making money and having fun come first. He opens up by describing how he's hanging out with his friends in the morning, smoking up a quarter of weed, while a girl tries to hit on him. He acknowledges that she may be cute but he's more focused on making money than chasing women.
Inglish then goes on to talk about how he's made a lot of money and how he makes it. He's not shy about discussing his wealth and how he's acquired it: putting hundreds, fifties, and twenties into a knot in his sock before ultimately putting a band of cash into his Ewing shoebox. He's confident in cultivating this wealth and even says, "how much do you got arate chopping the shop," implying that his money game is so strong that he doesn't need to worry about anything.
The second half of the song is filled with a lot of braggadocio and metaphors, with Inglish comparing his problem-solving skills to a Harlem Globetrotter and describing himself as a low-key hotshot. He's proud to be parking his drop Bronco with "big ass tires" and calls attention to himself by riding around in the summer with the top down. Overall, "Drops" is a song about youthful indulgence and ambition that emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and accumulating wealth.
