Critical Praise:

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

“If the year’s earlier ‘sexy drill’ hits presented a stark male perspective, then Chow Lee’s new joint gives the ladies some time in the driver’s seat of these semi-grimy pursuits.” – Billboard

“He fully leans into the sexy drill version of Allen Iverson, who infamously dismissed practice in his classic press conference in the early 2000s. Chow’s constant teeth-sucking on the track is also fitting for the level of pretentiousness he conveys on the track. ‘Practice!’ is great.” – VIBE

“…we consider them pioneers of this sexy drill sound.” – HotNewHipHop

The Announcement:

Gliding over sexy drill instrumentals with a smirking panache, Chow Lee always impresses with his unprintable quotables. The sexy drill impresario prepares for his highly-anticipated next album, Sex Drive, by sharing “u got fans!,” his new single and video. Built on a breezy sample that layers 80s keyboard tones over high-octane drill percussion and rubbery 808s, “u got fans!” finds Chowbella romancing a seemingly unattainable woman, who has dozens of admirers in her IG comments and a steady man. The rapper empties his bag of tricks, offering an unceasing barrage of pick-up lines and clearing those obstacles with aplomb. In the video, Chow collects his favorite models in remote house, where he sponsors their online activities and encourages them to practice their pole dancing.

“u got fans!” is a taste of the kind of breezy late-summer jams fans can expect from Sex Drive, Chow‘s anticipated follow-up to last year’s Hours After The Club. The new album plunges listeners into Chow Lee‘s hedonistic world, filled with baddies, addys, and completely empty of inhibitions. Sex Drive features viral singles like “swag it!,” which earned a remix featuring Flo Milli, and “Ms. Beautiful V,” which generated millions of streams, went viral on TikTok (20k creations), and placed on the Top 25: New York City chart on Apple Music, and more recent Cash Cobain-produced singles “act bad twin” ft. Bay Swag & Cash Cobain and the Allen Iverson-referencing “practice!” The upcoming album is stacked with familiar and unfamiliar samples, on which Chow Lee puts his sexy stamp, and features new collaborations with AJ Tracey, Roy Woods, and more. Sex Drive hits the internet on September 6th.

Sex Drive is the proper follow-up to Chow‘s super sexy 2023 album Hours After The Club, an addictive listen, radiating with the seductive charm that inspired Pitchfork to affectionately call Chow Lee the “horniest rapper out.” Hours After The Club is chock full of infectious melodies, as Chow‘s natural bravado makes every X-rated flex feel natural. Both albums continue the momentum from 2022 album 2 Sexy 2 Slizzy, Chow‘s totemic collaboration with Cash Cobain that kickstarted the sexy drill movement. Earlier this year, Chow performed on the main stage at Rolling Loud California and performed his first-ever show in Austria during Rolling Loud Europe.

Stay tuned for much more from Chow as he continues to establish himself as the most eligible bachelor in the rap game.

The Background:

Chow Lee is on a mission to become the next King of New York. He made major moves in the city’s rap scene with 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. 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY highlight “Vacant” was recently named the 73rd Best East Coast Rap Song of All Time by Rolling Stone. Chow recently reconnected with Cash on the sexy drill anthem “Rump,” plus the Nelly-sampling “Not No Xanax 2” from Cash’s new album, and joined Wolfacejoeyy and Cash on the Pitchfork-approved “Weekend,” and released the fiery Hours After The Club anthem in July 2023.

Now, with buzzing singles like “swag it!” and “Ms. Beautiful V,” the Long Island native is primed to take his sexy drill sound mainstream. Stay tuned for more.
