HOODLUM shares new video for “PRESSURE” / “CASH $”
San Antonio’s prolific rapper, HOODLUM has just shared a new video for “PRESSURE” / “CASH $”, off of his new album, Southside Story. After breaking out on the national stage with his 2019 single, “OJ” (3M Views), HOODLUM and his music quickly took off online due to his anxious yet punchy flow, and unique croaky cadence. He subsequently landed on the soundtrack for the horror film, Random Acts of Violence later that year. In June 2021, visual artist Colton Valentine painted a mural of the rapper adjacent to a memorial of Nipsey Hussle, solidifying HOODLUM’s spot as a San Antonio Star. Fellow Texas rapper Maxo Kream caught onto HOODLUM’s wave in 2021, jumping on “OUTSIDE”. His laidback flow, off-kilter cadence, and an ear for deep and bass-heavy beats has set HOODLUM apart as an emcee with a sound that’s uniquely his own. In the words of Pitchfork, “No rapper in Texas right now has a better beat selection than San Antonio’s HOODLUM. The South Side rapper can lay his croaky delivery over any type of instrumental: a soul sample, trendy minimalist Texas production, or a Bay Area funky flip.” On his new project, Southside Story, which boasts features from Maxo Kream, Paul Wall, Valee & Doeman, HOODLUM expands on his distinctly dynamic sound, as he details his complete life story and brings his signature low-key Texan flair to new heights over an impressive array of beats ranging from G-Funk to hard-hitting Southern Trap to Boom-Bap.
In his new video for the standout track “PRESSURE”, HOODLUM proudly flexes his outlandish personality and work ethic. Over the thumping drums and eerie piano loop, he showcases his authoritative presence as a distinctively Southern emcee with his syrupy flow and expressive lyricism. In the second half of the video, as the visuals get dark when it switches to nighttime, HOODLUM performs the ambitious “CASH $” while riding around in his whip – “You know who we are / I’m a southside baby, see the star from the car”, he raps in his low-key, whispery tone. The contrast between the two videos and their songs is a testament to HOODLUM‘s undeniable ability to tackle an array of production choices. With his hometown of San Antonio on his back, HOODLUM is determined to take his sound to new levels. In the words of Passion of the Weiss, “the next big Texas rapper isn’t from Houston”.
In the mid-2000s, Don Trip was one of hip-hop’s most inferior lyricists of the era. Hailing from Memphis, he has created a career that spans decades with his soulful contemporary rap style. Today, while promoting his new album, Hell’s Kitchen, the veteran recording artist previews his latest body of work with a live performance for the album-cut called “Say Less.”
“Say Less” is a impactful track that compliments Don Trip’s signature style as he tells a story about paper chasing. Telling the haters to refocus their attention to wonder why he only talks about money, Don Trip keeps it short and sweet when conversations with the time wasters. From beginning to end, Don Trip is slick, charming, and confident on “Say Less,” and will have fans rushing to his new album eager to hear more.
Hell’s Kitchen is Don Trip’s third album of 2023. Following The Devil You Know and Long Live Pif, the latest album includes breakout singles “Kitchen On Fire,” “Return To Sender,” and “The Outsiders.” Don Trip’s latest release is the perfect origin point for the next generation of rap fans as he currently draws over 101,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
