Video: Comethazine – “We Gone Win”
The Alamo Records Signee Applies His Signature Snarl to a Soulful Instrumental
Critical Praise:
“The rapper has become the viral face of the trap scene.” – OFFICE Mag
“The video for Comethazine’s ‘Walk’ currently sits at 33 million views, solidfying the nightmarishly hyper-violent track as bonafide hit of SoundCloud rap.” – The FADER
“Comethazine has established himself was one of hip-hop’s rising stars—amassing a solid fan base and co-signs from the likes of Rich the Kid and ASAP Rocky.” – COMPLEX
“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
The Video:
Comethazine built a huge fanbase on his own, never relying on big name features or producers. Dropping his lone wolf mentality and putting on for his Hench Mafia, Comethazine shares “We Gone Win,” his new music video. Eschewing the high octane trap that he usually favors, “We Gone Win” finds Comethazine rapping atop a soulful piano loop. Even as the instrumental provides a softer sonic palette, Comethazine maintains his signature snarling intensity, threatening to come for anyone who stops him and his crew from achieving their goals: “Voices tellin’ me I gotta do ’em in/Gotta be the first to spin/If it’s water we gon’ win.”
The video finds Comethazine showing out in New York City–he poses in Washington Square Park, hits up a bodega with his homies, and tools around the city streets at night in his foreign. “We Gone Win” is Comethazine’s second new single since March, following “Air Max,” which dropped earlier this month and already has over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
Comethazine is gearing up for his second project of the year, the follow-up to Pandemic, Comethazine’s apocalyptic March 2020 project, available everywhere via Alamo Records.Opening with the mission statement “No Front” (2.2 million YouTube views) and hosting the breakout hit “LEAD THE RACE (UNDEFEATED)” (9 million Spotify streams), the project establishes Comethazine as rap’s most charming misanthrope, reveling in his “me vs. the world” attitude. Pandemic followed the successful Bawskee series of mixtapes in 2018 and 2019, including last year’s Billboard 200-charting Bawskee 3.5. With Gold (“Bands”) and Platinum (“Walk”) singles under his belt, Comethazine has his mind set on becoming a rare beast in the rap game–a self-made, self-sustaining superstar.

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.
