Video: Chow Lee – “B2A (Belt 2 Ass)”

The Long Island-Born Sexy Drill Maestro Incorporates Sonic Elements From His Adopted Home of Miami in His Summer-Ready New Single

Critical Praise:

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

“His new album, Sex Drive, arrives amid a surge of sexy drill, but while artists like wolfacejoeyy and Baby Osama have brought the sound into new territories, Lee remains the genre’s greatest entertainer.” – Pitchfork

“Chow Lee, one of the torchbearers of the sexy drill sound that has taken over the Empire State this year.” – 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 Song:

Never one to shy away from an opportunity, Chow Lee always speaks whatever is on his dirty mind. Switching up his usual sexy drill style, Chow adds elements of Miami bass to his sound with “B2A (Belt 2 Ass),” his new single. From the days of 2 Live Crew through Trina’s reign as the baddest b*tch, Chow Lee’s adopted home of Miami has been a capital of sexy raps. Chow’s floating melodies are an ideal fit above the syncopated Miami bass percussion of “B2A,” which also features the chopped vocal samples of Chow’s signature sexy drill style. The Long Island native continues to chronicle his sexcapades in “B2A,” revealing enough about his kinks to fill up a book–call it 50 Shades of Chow.

“B2A’ is the latest single by the sexy drill mainstay, following in the wake of GIRLS C*M FIRST!, Chow Lee’s recent EP. Released on Valentine’s Day, GIRLS C*M FIRST! features three of Chow’s most accomplished love songs to date. The EP is home to “krazy 4 u,“ a collaboration with fellow NYC melodist 2300, which is an expression of unbridled desire, built around a sample drill instrumental perfectly-suited to warm up the winter. The first song, “yes mami!,” hints at Chow’s intentions to give up his bachelor lifestyle and settle down, riding a sultry call-and-response that is alternatively lustful and sweet, while “lemme get ya #” showcases him at his flirty best. Arriving after his recent single “Kinda Up Off Talent,” Chow Lee’s GIRLS C*M FIRST! is available everywhere via TC Music LLC / EMPIRE.

GIRLS C*M FIRST! is Chow’s first project since last September’s Sex Drive. Praised by outlets like Pitchfork, Billboard, The FADER, XXL, and more, Sex Drive affirms Chow’s position as leader of the sexy drill scene. Sex Drive is also home to Chow’s 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, 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!” With additional features from Anycia, AJ Tracey, Sleepy Hallow, and more, Sex Drive is available on all platforms now via EMPIRE.

A fixture and pioneer in NYC’s ascendant sexy drill scene, Chow Lee’s music radiates a seductive charm that inspired Pitchfork to affectionately call him the “horniest rapper out.” He first earned mainstream attention with his 2022 album 2 Sexy 2 Slizzy, Chow’s totemic collaboration with Cash Cobain that kickstarted the sexy drill movement, recently named the 19th Best Album of the 2020s So Far by Pitchfork. Recently, Chow Lee turnt up “In The Booth” with Cash Cobain and Plaqueboymax, and performed a stellar set at Rolling Loud California, as featured on The FADER’s official TikTok.

With much more music on the way in 2025, Chow Lee looks to continue his run as the most eligible bachelor in the rap game. Stay tuned as Chow Lee continues his sexiest year yet.

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.
