It’s one of my favorite hotels in the country.” He’s recovering from the flu and skips breakfast in favor of orange juice and bottled water. Watch Slayter ft.Lee “Q” O’Denat, the founder of WorldStarHipHop, seems at home in the rooftop garden of the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, a lavish establishment that screams discretion, where the waitstaff know him by name.
It matches the energy you get from the song off the rip and instills a vibe that carries throughout the video and the song’s entirety. The video is precisely how I thought the song should be depicted, with the artists posted up in front of corner stores, their blacked out SUVs, and in the dim-lit streets. “And I ain’t satisfied ‘til his killer flatlines, lay him in the ground trace him with them white lines.” Last week, WORLDSTARHIPHOP released an accompanying visual, with staggering numbers accumulated in just under 10 days.
They tell stories of the streets and portray their power with lines of incomprehensible realities about vengeance and mortality. The track has a raw, genuine feel that matches both artists’ styles to a “T”. In late June, NYC artist Slayter released a track with Chicago legend G Herbo titled, “COLD AT NIGHT.” It instantly did numbers, and has collected nearly 40k streams in just a few weeks. On the flip side, East makes sure to remain relevant with the modern rap sound, having collaborated with Lil Baby, Gunna, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Offset, 2 Chainz, MoneyBagg Yo, Lil Durk … Moreover, the opening track “They wanna Kill You” on East’s debut album Survival is produced by DJ Premier. The perfect illustration of East catering to the style of hip-hop’s pioneers is through his phenomenal collaborative album Beloved with The Lox legend Styles P. What makes East a special artist is that he receives head nods from both old and new school judges, having a working formula to satisfy all rap listeners. I highly recommend reading Dave East’s interview with basketball magazine SlamOnline, as it highlights what could have been the emcee’s profession. The Harlem, New York emcee’s rapid semi-aggressive flow is what earned him a cosign from all-time great Nas, among multiple features such as “The Hated” and “Godfather 4.” However, before his illustrious rap career launched, East was on a mission to make it to the NBA, having been AAU teammates with Kevin Durant and Michael Beasely, followed by a division 1 NCAA scholarship. Songs like “Gelato,” “Overseas” and “Knots,” brought out the best in Why Cue, with beats that allow his voice to flawlessly float as he displays power and …ĭave East has been one of my favorite rappers since his highly regarded 2016 Kairi Chanel mixtape. “N***** be broke in real life, but they all flexin’ for the camera.” This theme of money-motivation reigns prevalent throughout the album’s entirety, especially in songs like “Rewards” and “Fashionably Late,” which match the same energy given off by the first track with heavy instrumentals and well-layered vocals. It’s a hell of an attention getter, and drew listeners in from the jump, as it has the highest stream count among all tracks with over 18K listens already. The project open up with a bang in “Fanta,” which features him lighting the fuse for the rest of the tracks.
This album is a puzzle, in which all 12 pieces contribute their own style and image. The versatile artist has been featured all over the hip-hop industry, as his first album Xxotic accumulated millions of streams, and the video to his single “Good Drank” featured on Worldstarhiphop in 2021 is at over 320,000 views. New York native Why Cue is quickly racking up streams on his newest album Xxotic 2.0, a 12-track project that release December 31.
