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
“It’s not just his pen that’s sharpened: Sex Drive finds Chow firmly in the pocket, teasing out stop-start meters across a startling breadth of instrumentals.” – The FADER
“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 Album:
A founding father of the surging sexy drill scene, Chow Lee helped change the sound of NYC rap with his facility for easy melody and X-rated quips. Coming through with his most audacious and unabashedly horny project to date, the Long Island native shares Sex Drive, his new Magnum opus. The album plunges listeners into the rapper’s hedonistic world, populated with unattainable baddies and bottomless Casamigos, but completely empty of inhibitions. Flowing over glistening instrumentals–many produced by his close friend Cash Cobain–Chow Lee is a charming host, unleashing an unceasing barrage of colorful come-ons and boisterous boasts that demonstrate why he’s one of the game’s most libidinous lotharios.
The new album is home to Chow’s recent series of viral singles, including “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, along with Cash Cobain-produced singles “act bad twin” ft. Bay Swag & Cash Cobain and the Allen Iverson-referencing “practice!” Spanning 19 tracks, the album has plenty of space for new highlights, including the ethereal and unbothered “cinderbella!, ” the cinematic and tone-setting opening track “advance w her” (produced by Cash Cobain), and the club-friendly “addys!” Though it explores all corners of the sexy drill style, the album also finds the rapper spreading his wings, as he collaborates with Roy Woods on the Caribbean-inflected “tequila Vacay!,” and goes toe-to-toe with AJ Tracey on “i’m not really spiritual!” On the mischievous “48!,” Chow turns listener’s expectations on their heads: “All of my lyrics is true, but I just laugh it off and act like I’m kidding,” he admits.
Along with the album, Chow Lee will drop a new music video for highlight song, “GMT.” Check Chow’s YouTube later today to watch the video. Featuring additional appearances from Anycia on “Get Back” and Sleepy Hallow on “sleepy & sheff“, and more NSFW quotables than you can count, Sex Drive is available on all platforms now.
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, and will return later this year to Rolling Loud Miami.
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 maintream. Stay tuned for more.
