Sturdyyoungin’ Brings the Heat With “Trippin’,” a Fast-Paced, Fergie-Sampling New Single
Sturdyyoungin, Ohthatsmizz and ZeddyWill Go Back to School in the “Trippin'” Music Video, Featuring a Cameo from Fergie Herself
Fresh Off the Viral Success of “BUMBAA,” by Ohthatsmizz Featuring Sturdyyoungin, That Generated Tens of Millions of Streams Across Platforms, Sturdyyoungin Injects a Dose of Danceable Fun Into Philly’s Percolating Rap Scene
The Video:
A rising star in his city at just 19-years-old, Sturdyyoungin brings panache, charm, and quotable bars to Philadelphia’s uptempo, dance rap sound. Hot on the heels of his guest verse on viral hit “BUMBAA” by his close friend Ohthatsmizz, Youngin shares “Trippin’,” a brand new song and video. Warping Fergie’s “Clumsy” into a stuttering, club-ready anthem, “Trippin'” reunites the young rapper with his fellow Philly native Ohthatsmizz, adding NYC’s ZeddyWill to make a troublesome trio. The three rappers trade bars as if in conversation, ping-ponging off each other’s punchlines and attempting to one-up their flexes in pursuit of romance.
Featuring a cameo from Fergie, the video is a tribute to teen movies, with the three rappers portraying football players in pursuit of the cheer captain. Sturdyyoungin shows off his talent on the football field, while ZeddyWill spits game in the hallway and Ohthatsmizz takes her for burgers at the local diner. The story ends at a house party, where the rivalries melt away and the crowd hits the viral “Trippin'” dance throughout the party. The story ends at a house party, where the rivalries melt away and the crowd goes dumb to “Trippin'” on the dancefloor.
A popular figure in Philadelphia since high school, Sturdyyoungin built a following on social media by starting dance challenges to Philly club rap bangers, rocking freestyles, and just by being himself. While he first gained fame as a content creator, Sturdyyoungin pursued his music dream, making his own music on Bandlab and eventually joining up with legendary Philly dance rap crew 2Humpy, which also featured luminaries like 2Rare, Bril, and frequent rap partner Ohthatsmizz. After 2Humpy broke up, Sturdy started to make waves on his own, and often teamed up with Ohthatsmizz to release red hot singles like “How It Goes” (also featuring Bril), racking up over 1.3 million streams on Spotify.
Sturdy and Mizz scored their biggest hit to date in Fall 2024, with Mizz’s “BUMBAA,” a kinetic party anthem that went viral on TikTok (634k creations) and YouTube (5+ million views on the static image audio and music video combined), catching the attention of notables like Jayda Wayda and LaLa Anthony, among others. Sturdy and Mizz used the song to show off their performance skills with memorable appearances on In The Cut (4.1 million views) and On The Radar, and started a viral “open verse challenge” for the song, receiving thousands of videos in response.
With “BUMBAA” on the rise and much more music to come, Sturdyyoungin is primed to take the Philly sound global. Stay tuned for more.

Artist Name Background (only add if there are multiple backgrounds)
(This section is pulled from the small bio on the Artist’s asset page) Not many 21-year old rappers can say that they’ve been rapping for over a decade. Las Vegas, Nevada, Rapper Dizzy Wright began rapping at just 8 years old, in the group “DaFuture” with his brother and very close friend – his mother wrote his raps at the time. Dizzy broke through when he was discovered at the Sheikh Music “Rip the Mic” competition in 2010 and signed onto Funk Volume a few months later.
Label Name Background (only add if there are multiple backgrounds)
Funk Volume is a record label, marketing and production company founded to give hip hop artists a home to freely express themselves without feeling controlled or pressured by any other outside forces. Currently home to Hopsin, SwizZz, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton and DJ Hoppa, Funk Volume’s plan is to represent only the sickest, most talented, and most creative artists that we can find. The label’s objective is to produce music that it feel competes with any other artists or labels in the industry. Funk Volume is not a “movement”, not a “gang”, not a “squad.” Funk Volume is a commitment – to protect the integrity of the music and conduct our business properly. It is a commitment to hip-hop, to its fans, and to each other.
