The Song:

Coasting above arpeggiating video game synths, Taylor Gang emcee Chevy Woods celebrates his triumphs on “History,” premiered today by XXL, who praised the track as “the type of celebratory anthem perfect for a weekend spent with friends.” Strutting his stuff with justified confidence, Chevy celebrates life while mocking haters with a melodic cadence, culminating in a victorious chorus by Devin Cruise. Currently performing at part of the 36-date High Road Tour, alongside headliners Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa, as well as Kevin Gates, Jhene Aiko, Casey Veggies, and DJ Drama, “History” is the first single from Chevy Woods’ upcoming album, due to drop early fall. Chevy’s upcoming full-length follows February’s And the Story Goes…, a 4-part video EP that finds Pittsburgh rapper reflecting on his adolescence and contemplating career paths. Featuring Styles P and Dave East, the project’s final track found Woods embracing successes from I.D. Labs recording studio where he and Wiz Khalifa met and began harnessing their talent as independent artists in the mid 2000’s while tying in clips from a vibrant performance in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Directed by Wiley Films, the video EP released as a free download via Taylor Gang Ent.

An experienced rapper with a tireless work ethic, Chevy Woods has already a had a prolific year. Prior to “Famous,” Chevy dropped “6 Months Later,” a hypnotic loose single released on his SoundCloud. Earlier, Chevy celebrated success on his “All the Way Up” freestyle, in which he co-opted the New York anthem to lay down bars about jetsetting and living the life, and “Forever,” released on his birthday. With an album slated for release later this year, he’s been consistently releasing treats for his fans. In addition to “Forever,” And the Story Goes…, and his collection of freestyles titled The Freemix, he recently teamed up with buzzing Atlanta rapper Rich the Kid for “Wit My Dogs,” a Nard & B.-produced anthem for celebrating with the homies. As Wiz Khalifa’s OG, Woods delivers a relatable scenario atop poignant production that hustlers and aspiring anythings can grasp – keep your eyes on the prize, stay focused, and never consider losing an option. The aforementioned And the Story Goes… EP was a follow-up to last year’s The 48 Hunnid Project, where Woods teamed up with DeJ Loaf, Post Malone, OG Maco, and Rico Love. Beyond music, Woods has recently been in the spotlight for his culinary skills, which have been featured by Edible Ink and First We Feast.
