After lighting up the internet and attracting tastemaker praise, 15-year-old phenomenon BabySantana unleashes his new single and music video “nyc” via Galactic Records/Republic Records.
Listen to “nyc” HERE. Watch “nyc” HERE
The track’s frenetic, furious, and fiery production rages beneath his double-time rhymes as he practically runs suicides back and forth lyrically over the beat. The futuristic intensity culminates with a striking chant. In the accompanying visual, he takes over the streets of New York City, turning up in a convenience store as psychedelic animated filters fill the frame.
Clocking in at just over a minute, “nyc” exerts a compact and catchy impact at full force.
It also lands on the heels of “off the leash!” feat. yvngxchris & Luisss. The latter has impressively tallied over 7 million total streams to date. Daily Chiefers applauded it as a “fucking banger” and urged, “each drop is seemingly better than the previous one.” DJ Booth touted it among the “Best Songs of the Week” and wrote, “Santana declares himself ‘off the leash,’ which has the young Georgia rapper gnashing through crunchy production and features from yvngxchris and Luisss.”
Next up, BabySantana supports multiplatinum chart-topping rap phenomenon Lil Tecca on his Tecca Loves You Tour. It kicks off March 30, 2022 at Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, GA, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on May 21, 2022 at Ritz Ybor in Tampa, FL..
BabySantana has become a bold and buzzing blunt force in hip-hop at just 15-years-old. Hailing from Columbus, GA, he went from self-producing music in a small closet at home to igniting the internet. Bolstered by independent projects, he has generated over 155 million streams and counting. “Antisocial” [feat. Slump6] notably posted up 87 million streams followed by “Antisocial 2” [feat. Slump6, Yung Fazo, Xhulooo, SSGKOBE] at 31 million streams and “14” with Ka$hdami at 29 million streams. Pitchfork named “Prada (Remix)” [feat. Lil Tecca] among “The Ones” as “The must-hear rap song of the day,” and DJBooth cited him among “10 Rappers You Should Know Right Now on Audiomack.” BabySantana is just getting started though. He’s off the leash and chomping at the bit to be heard.
