“St. Louis teen Comethazine gave rap a shot, and got millions of streams in return. As his December 2017 video ‘Piped Up’ inches closer to 3 million views, it seems the young rapper made the right choice to leave the regular nine-to-five life behind” – XXL
“Comethazine is one of the most buzzing artists in the hip-hop world” – HotNewHipHop
Comethazine raps in ferocious bursts, bringing a manic energy rarely seen in any genre. Following up a series of viral hits and popular mixtapes, which built him a huge following without the aid of features or big name producers, Comethazine shares Bawskee 3.5, his debut album. Crackling with a fiery electricity, Bawskee 3.5 is the Alamo Records signee’s most complete artistic statement yet, mixing adrenaline-boosting bangers like the recent single “Just Saying” with more experimental efforts like the hypnotic “Stand,” which crafts a banger with looped samples of Comethazine’s voice. With irresistible hooks molded from clipped cadences and snide turns-of-phrase, Comethazine’s music hits like a jolt of adrenaline, providing an instant dose of turn-up for any situation. The latest installment in the Bawskeeseries of projects, which started in 2018 with Comethazine’s first mixtape, Bawskee 3.5 arrives via Alamo/Interscope.
Recently named by XXL Magazine to the 2019 Freshman Class, Comethazine is a new kind of rap star. Earning over 110 million combined streams on Spotify alone, Comethazine recently earned a a GOLD certification from the RIAA “Walk,” which inspired a remix featuring A$AP Rocky. Earlier this week, Comethazine shared his XXL Freshman Freestyle, racking up over 1.1 million views and reaching the top ten of YouTube’s Trending Chart, and hopped on a cypher with fellow XXL Freshmen Tierra Whack and Roddy Ricch. With hundreds of millions of streams across all platforms, 3.4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and an Instagram following that tops 1.3 million, Comethazine is just getting started.

The Background:
Born Frank Childress in 1998, St. Louis-native Comethazine was a lean-loving high-school dropout. Influenced by Nipsey Hussle, Odd Future, Lil B, and Chief Keef, he started rapping in 2015. He soon discovered that his initial output was not as well received as party-oriented cloud rap, so he switched angles and scored a pair of local underground hits with “Run It” and “Hella Choppers.” The Aloe Vera EP landed in 2016, which resulted in a late-2017 deal with Alamo Records. A slew of short singles followed, including “Deathwish,” “Piped Up,” “Oowee,” and “Hero.” “Bands” became a viral hit, landing on his first full-length, Bawskee, which debuted on the Billboard 200 upon its release in 2018.
