Video: Chow Lee – “adultery“
The “Sexy Drill” Heavy-Hitter Takes his X-Rated Escapades to the Beach in the Latest Video from Hours After The Club

The Video:
As New York drill’s most eligible bachelor, Chow Lee approaches his craft like an athlete, knowing that even the most elite goalkeeper can’t stop him from scoring. Throwing caution to the wind, Chow takes his NSFW affairs on a seaside getaway in the new video for “adultery.” Weaving his man-on-the-side slick talk into irresistible melodies as he offers to fill in for the shortcomings of his love interest’s partner, “adultery” finds Chow’s conscience bouncing between the object of his desires and the toll his sinful tendencies have taken, disregarding the latter as though his carnal impulses are beyond his control.
Following in the wake of “Drais,” “adultery” is the latest video to emerge from Chow Lee’s recent album Hours After The Club. Released earlier this summer, Hours After The Club is 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. The tape is home to two new collaborations with his frequent running mate Cash Cobain: the quintessential “sexy drill” anthem “on behalf of the association,” and “full service,” a luxurious mix of drill, club, and cloud rap, featuring Chow’s close friend Lonny Love. Singles like “SUPERSEXXXYSUMMER,” “pamper!,” and the Synthetic-produced “no hesi” are perfectly-suited for sweaty, summer dancefloors, the latter song featuring a bawdy refrain that explains what Hours After The Club is all about: “I’m not a rapper, I’m not a pop star/I’m just a rock star, walk in here rock hard/I’m tryna f*ck the world and all the babas/They wanna f*ck me too, and I’m like damn!”
Hours After The Club is a worthy follow-up to 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. The album, and its even bigger and nastier Deluxe edition, was a sterling document of what Chow and Cash call “sexy drill,” a lighter take on the sub-genre’s sound that relocates the subject matter from the block to the bedroom. 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.”
Now striking out on his own, Chow Lee is on a mission to become the next King of New York. The “sexy drill” pioneer took his show overseas this summer, with performances at Rolling Loud Portugal, Rolling Loud Rotterdam, and Rolling Loud Germany, before he shut it down at Rolling Loud Miami during his own set and a guest appearance with Coi Leray. The NYC scenester has popped up at several events around the city, and made an appearance on “Sexy Besties,” the first-ever single released by On The Radar Records.
Stay tuned for more for Chow Lee, coming soon.
