The world lost rock-and-roll legend Chuck Berry nearly two months ago, and there’s been no dearth of musical and social tributes to the man behind “Johnny B. Goode” and “Roll Over Beethoven.”

But next month, fans of the late great guitar hero will get a brand-new dose of Berry’s ragged rock, with the posthumous release of his final album, aptly titled Chuck, on June 9.

And he first single, “Big Boys,” is an instant classic, with that signature Berry opening and subtly cocksure lyrics about a shy little kid who “learns how to party like the big boys do.”

To honor his memory, Dualtone Records has released the first-ever Chuck Berry music video for the album’s first single, “Big Boys.” Watch it above.
