Atlanta music producer, Quay Global (Cook That Shit Up Quay) rose to stardom after producing Lil Baby’s 2017 massive single, “That’s My Dawg”. He later would produce “Woah”, “Southside”, and “All In” for Lil Baby, “Back at it Again” for Yella Beezy and a slew of other records that are in the Top 100s and on radio.

Quay Global is now trendsetting a new sound for 2021 with the release of “Drop Top” featuring rising Atlanta artist, Blo5k Lil A.

When it comes to creating a cohesive project, there are a few components that need to be taken into consideration — production, sequencing, style, and vocal delivery. For immersive St. Louis rapper Rezz, he’s been able to establish all four on his newest EP entitled Buddah. The title comes from a childhood nickname given to him by his late grandfather and is an indication as to what to expect from the full-length project.

On the Buddah EP, Rezz finds his stride in expressing the ins and outs of his hustler lifestyle that comes equipped with fast spending and even faster decision making. On tracks like “Voicemail”, he dispels his own personal experience when it comes to choosing between his personal life and chasing a check. The braggadocious “Swerve”, which features 42 Dugg, acts as the single for the EP with him wrapping up the 10-track project with ”30 for 30” featuring production by 300hz and Zero.

The young rapper worked alongside a number of talented producers like ROCKTEE, CHASETHEMONEY, and Drellonthetrack and worked closely with late engineer Turn Me Up Josh. During their time knowing each other, Rezz was able to witness the young engineer truly perfect his sound and see the passion he had for it. He was the first to come to mind to engineer the Buddah EP but passed away during the middle of the recording process. He was able to provide the ideal template to help the project materialize.

Rezz truly takes the spotlight as his long hours in the studio proved to pay off. He impressively takes full control of handling the engineering and recording of the project, even recording some tracks in his bedroom. The intimate recollection of his day-to-day life is laced with vibrant production and hard-hitting bars that are sure to have you run it back.

It’s safe to say that change is inevitable and for rapper Seezyn, his compelling new project comes at his transition from having a major contract to becoming a completely independent artist. This change in his own life led to the rapper titling his album ‘Seezyn’s Change’ and the use of the play on words is a direct indication of the type of music he’s aiming to create. The rapper, and close friend to Juice WRLD, is turning over a new leaf starting with the release of his project.

15 tracks in length, ‘Seezyn’s Change’ is somewhat of an evolution of Seezyn as an artist, but he’s nowhere near his prime. The distinctive sound he’s cultivated rides on the series of production found on the project with Seezyn connecting with producers like Slick and MyBestFriendJacob. On tracks like “Triple Double”, Seezyn effortlessly shows off his lyrical talent while the upbeat “Right Back” is his comeback record, letting his doubters know that he’s returning with a vengeance. Seezyn is creating his best music yet with Seezyn’s Change and not only wants to prove to his fans that he still has it in him but to those who have doubted him since his absence.

The rapper may have taken some time off, but that doesn’t mean he fell off. Instead, he’s taken the time to put his project together, working mostly in-house on the engineering, producing, and recording. After taking his fans’ preferences into consideration, Seezyn lined up the perfect tracklist that gives listeners an inside into his life. Following the release of ‘Seezyn’s Change’, the rapper is expected to hit the road for his ‘Call Me Nobody’ Tour this Fall alongside Juice WRLD’s DJ, DJ Mikey P, and former label mate CLEVER who is now signed with Post Malone!
