Chow Lee Shares Hours After The Club, His New 18-Track Album

The “Sexy Drill” Pioneer Hits Up a Popular NYC Strip Club in “YUP!” Video

Filled With Breezy, Club-Influenced Beats and an Endless Supply of Charmingly NSFW Bars, Hours After The Club is a Worthy Follow-Up to 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY, Chow’s Acclaimed Collaboration with Cash Cobain

Critical Praise:

“Meet the Artists Taking New York Drill in a New Direction” – Rolling Stone

“Rappers to Watch in 2023” – Rolling Stone

“Cash Cobain and Chow Lee treat all of New York like it’s an X-rated dating show—and they’re the only available bachelors.” – Pitchfork

“In a just world, five different tracks on 2 Slizzy 2 Sexy would be serious song of the summer contenders.” – Pitchfork

Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2022 – UPROXX

The Project + Video:

A relentless flirt with a feather-light flow, Chow Lee specializes in NSFW anthems for debaucherous late nights. Collecting 18 songs perfect for streaming after the clubs close but before the sun comes up, the Long Island native shares Hours After The Club, his new project. Marked by the airy melodies and unexpected punchlines that dotted his critically acclaimed 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY collaboration with Cash Cobain, Hours After The Club is an addictive listen, radiating with the seductive charm that inspired Pitchfork to affectionately call Chow Lee one of the “horniest rappers out.”

Hours After The Club is chock full infectious melodies, as Chow’s natural bravado makes every X-rated flex feel natural. The tape is home to two new collaborations with his frequent running mate Cash Cobain: the quintessential “sexy drill” anthem “on behalf of the association,” and “full service,” a luxurious mix of drill, club, and cloud rap, featuring Chow’s close friend Lonny Love. Singles like “SUPERSEXXXYSUMMER,” “pamper!,” and the Synthetic-produced “no hesi” are perfectly-suited for sweaty, summer dancefloors, the latter song featuring a bawdy refrain that explains what Hours After The Club is all about: “I’m not a rapper, I’m not a pop star/I’m just a rock star, walk in here rock hard/I’m tryna f*ck the world and all the babas/They wanna f*ck me too, and I’m like damn!”

Along with the new project, Chow Lee shares the video for “YUP!,” an Hours After The Club highlight. An ethereal club banger with insistent 808s and haunting vocal samples, “YUP!” is a showcase for Chow’s fastpaced melody, as he answers a series of rhetorical questions that prove his baller status. In the video, Chow takes over Starlets, a popular Queens strip club, supervising over a sultry, NSFW bacchanal like a drill music Dionysus.

Hours After The Club is a worthy follow-up to 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY, his 2022 collaborative project with Cash Cobain. Praised by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, and earning “Best of 2022” distinction from UPROXX, The FADER, and more, 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY combined the sample-heavy sound of the Bronx with the hard-hitting dance beats from New Jersey to change the face of the NYC drill scene. The album, and its even bigger and nastier Deluxe edition, was a sterling document of what Chow and Cash call “sexy drill,” a lighter take on the sub-genre’s sound that relocates the subject matter from the block to the bedroom. 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY highlight “Vacant” was recently named the 73rd Best East Coast Rap Song of All Time by Rolling Stone.

Now striking out on his own, Chow Lee is on a mission to become the next King of New York. The “sexy drill” pioneer took his show overseas earlier this month, with performances at Rolling Loud Portugal and Rolling Loud Germany. Before he returns to the Five Boroughs, catch Chow Lee at Rolling Loud Miami on Sunday July 23.
