While the current social and political climate is divisive, it is inspiring artists like Chuck Daggers to produce topical work, like his new single “Murder Inc.” The track dives into who is on the right side of history and offers a step towards hope and healing.
Daggers wrote “Murder Inc” after being a host DJ at the United Against Hate March and Rally in Los Angeles, CA. Seeing the crowds of protesters voicing their concerns after the Inauguration of Donald Trump inspired Chuck to lend his voice to the cause. His ‘voice’ as it turns out would be his music.

Chuck Daggers succeeds in his intent of delivering a powerful political message with the absence of lyrics – but by building a story line, a mood and a state of being through the use of start and stop percussive rhythms, ominous sound effects, and insistent synth motifs. The result is a soundscape infused with tension, turmoil and agitation, yet with a focused, pinpointed bright lead synth motif that rides the beat throughout.
In fact that bright synth motif cutting through the dark, almost sinister and apocalyptic backdrop, seems to illustrate that it is possible for a voice to break through the noise and make itself heard. The power of music like this is precisely why authoritarian regimes take the trouble to censor or ban it.
“Murder Inc” reflects and articulates our current political tendencies, intentions as well as our utopian dreams -without saying a single word! Therefore it can never be censored or banned. Even in times of impulsive, ruthless, and downright senseless chaos, Daggers hopes to keep listeners united, and dancing all the same.Written and produced by Daggers, “Murder Inc.” will be released and distributed by Lyndrum/Orchard/Sony. “Murder Inc.” is available on all major music platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, and Amazon.
