Critical Praise:
“The appeal of Bandman and Mcvertt’s style is more than just the sound—it also offers a glimpse at how a younger generation is putting its touch on music they lived with in their childhood.” – Pitchfork
“20 Rappers to Watch in 2023… The Jersey drill scene is even more niche than the burgeoning sample drill subgenre, but the 20-year-old rapper is leading the emerging sound with the confidence and authority of a veteran” – Complex
“While the new year slowly lurches into gear, Bandmanrill has hit the ground with the same frantic energy that saw him enjoy a breakout year in 2022.” – The FADER
“Garden State rep Bandmanrill’s blend of skilled rapping over the high-energy production is catching on. He’s one of the most relevant artists to rhyme over the club music beats and has his sights set on taking it all over the world.” – XXL
“…as time went on, Sha’s flows and vocabulary continued to level up.” – XXL
“Sha Ek’s efforts this year are worthy of the rookie of the year title.” – HotNewHipHop
“After displaying his aggressive and high energy flows on a few tracks, [Sha Ek] went viral with bangers like 2020’s “D&D” and has continued to live up to the hype from there.” – ONE37RPM
The Song:
July 28, 2023 (Los Angeles, CA) — A major player in Jersey club’s recent creative and commercial renaissance, MCVERTT connects the streets and the dancefloor with his high-octane production. Today, the multi-platinum artist behind hits like Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” shares “FACE DOWN,” a new single featuring Sexyy Red and A$AP Ferg. A chaotic banger purpose-built for unhinged hip-shaking, “Face Down” highlights MCVERTT’s talents for inspiring hedonistic pandemonium, combining club music’s insistent five-beat pattern with an atonal synth pattern that evokes the sound of a dial-up internet connection. Ferg leads off the song with a reference to a 2 Live Crew classic, matching the beat’s wild energy by barking like a dog. St. Louis sensation Sexyy Red pops by, bringing her some of her most quotable X-rated bars to date.
“Face Down” is the latest single from the upcoming Defiant Presents: Jiggy In Jersey (ft. MCVERTT), a supersized tape that shows off the talents of MCVERTT, ascendant Newark club rapper Bandmanrill, and Bronx rapper Sha Ek. United under the banner of Defiant Presents, the Trio’s upcoming project demonstrates the Earth-shaking chemistry between Bandman’s smooth, rapid-fire rhymes, Sha’s booming delivery, and MCVERTT’s indomitable, high-BPM production. Spanning 27 tracks, including the third installment of the epic “Jiggy In Jersey” trilogy, the recently released “Pistons,” and the Crystal Waters-sampling single “Mr. D.C.T.”
