BUZZING NEW YORK DRILL PHENOMENON 26AR RELEASES NEW MIXTAPE ‘STILL DRENCHIN’
Bulldozing a path to the forefront of New York drill, rising critically acclaimed Brooklyn rapper 26AR presents his anxiously anticipated EP, Still Drenchin, out now via Def Jam Recordings. Listen to Still Drenchin—HERE.
Living up to a promise to bring the sound, style, and spirit “back to the trenches,” these 12 tracks illuminate his evolution as a gritty outlier in the scene with an uncompromising vision and bulletproof flow. Ominous bells toll on the opener “We Outside.” He unleashes a flurry of menacing bars over surging 808s before issuing a warning, “Fuck it, I’m coming outside.” Among many highlights, he links up with Rocko Ballin on “Gotta Be,” which finds the duo trading rhymes in a crossfire over a charging trumpet melody. The introspective and infectious hook resounds, “She be asking me, ‘Why you so cold? I just gotta be.” Then, there’s “Raise The Rate.” It could double as the climax of your favorite big-screen gangster robbery flick as he laments, “All of the shit I been through, can’t tell you.” The mesmerizing “Deep Waters” concludes Still Drenchin. Uplifting piano underlines another side of his lyricism with a clear-eyed closing confession, “Got me in deep water, I just wanna sleep normal, then I wake up and I thank father, for making me way stronger.”
Check out the full tracklisting below.
He initially set the stage for Still Drenchin with “My Set Pt. III,” “Wild Wild West,” and “HEARD ABT ME” (feat. Sdot Go). Beyond piling up over 1 million total streams and counting, “Wild Wild West” reeled in critical plugs from the likes of HipHopDX. Meanwhile, FLAUNT declared, “26AR prides himself in his ability to spit—poised to be the voice of the streets for the new generation.”
2022 saw 26AR turn up with his Def Jam Recordings debut FLYEST OODA. Tallying millions of streams, office summed it up best, “26AR does Brooklyn drill right.”
In 2021, he lit up the culture with “Maneuver,” posting up 4.1 million Spotify streams and 7 million YouTube views on the music video. In its wake, KAZI. declared, “26AR is a big reason for Brooklyn’s rising drill wave,” and DJ Booth attested, “26AR is already a Brooklyn Drill Hero.”
His takeover continues with Still Drenchin. Drill may never be the same!

“For us, we want to make something of substance that has the sound of the culture that birthed us. West Coast culture. The song represents the boldness we get from knowing that Big G will slide on our behalf regardless of the situation,” said Minnick when asked about the pair’s new release.
“We wanted to make a song that brought believers together but also unified the whole West Coast. We love our state and really want to see God move through California,” echoes Keith in a press statement about the single.
