Critical Praise:
“I’ve slowly begun to play his lush and melodic singles like ‘Awkward Freestyle’ and ‘Just Friends?’ every damn day. They’re short, sweet, and addictive—and so is his newest song, ‘Let You Know.'” – Pitchfork

“Eem cuts through the haze of “Walked In” with his signature rasp and infectious lyrics.” – Billboard

“…The perfect lines to get stuck in your head for days on end.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Song:
Eem Triplin navigates the world of young love with soulful aplomb and wry humor. Today, the 23-year-old Johnstown City, PA native shares “Crazy H*es,” expanding his catalog of tuneful situationship chronicles. Co-produced by Eem, his frequent production partner Charlie Myers, and acclaimed producer Beach Noise (Kendrick Lamar, Baby Keem, Bakar), “Crazy H*es” is airy, yet propulsive, driven by ping-ponging percussion and a syncopated bassline, echoing Eem’s unbothered attitude towards admirers who get too attached. Eem floats over the instrumental with his textured rasp, as he describes how his luxurious lifestyle makes him irresistible. “Crazy H*es” is the latest step on the road to MELODY OF A MEMORY, Eem’s upcoming debut album.
“Crazy H*es” immediately follows “baby pink,” Eem’s high-profile collaboration with pop star Camila Cabello. The new song is Eem’s second lead artist single of the late summer, following “FIJI,” a heartfelt collaboration with R&B group Cruza. Also appearing on MELODY OF A MEMORY, “FIJI” earned Eem the cover of New Music Daily on Apple Music, and an interview with Zane Lowe. Earlier this year, Eem earned acclaim for his single “stephanie,” along with its music video, carrying over momentum from his breakout year in 2023.
2023 was a year of leveling up for Eem Triplin, as he performed several sold out dates, shut it down at festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Clout Festival and Splash! Festival overseas, and released STILL PRETTY, his debut EP. Spanning 7 tracks, and featuring production contributions from Dahi, the STILL PRETTY EP features fan favorite singles like “WALKED IN,” “TELL ME I’M RIGHT,” and “What Da Opp Said.” After touring as direct support for LUCKI and his friend and collaborator $NOT in the year’s first half, Eem played his first-ever headlining show in his hometown of Johnstown, Pennsylvania in July 2023, as 1,500 fans greeted him with an ecstatic reception–many fans lined up hours early to get a great spot, and others enthusiastically crowd-surfed as Eem did his thing on stage. Eem then set out on his first headlining tour–”STILL PRETTY North American Tour”– selling 11,000 tickets across 21 shows (90% sell out).
With his debut album on the way, Eem looks to continue his upward trajectory that started with viral singles like “AWKWARD FREESTYLE” and “JUST FRIENDS.” With hundreds of millions of streams to date, Eem Triplin is only just beginning to realize his vast potential. Stay tuned.

The Background:
Born and raised in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a community of roughly 18,000 located near Pittsburgh, Eem started his career as a producer, creating and selling beats online, producing songs for artists like $NOT and T9ine, including the latter’s fan favorite tracks “BENZO” and “Revenge.” Eem’s success as a producer fueled his desire to become an artist in his own right. His career as an artist kicked into high gear when he shared “AWKWARD FREESTYLE,” a self-produced, personality-filled song that used elements of Tyler, The Creator’s 2013 song “Awkward.” The song quickly went viral, inspiring thousands of TikTok creations, generating millions of streams on all platforms, and eventually reaching the ears of Tyler himself, who gave the song his enthusiastic co-sign.
Since then, Eem scored follow-up hits like “JUST FRIENDS?” and “LOUIE V,” generated multiple viral moments at Rolling Loud Festival, and drew the attention of the Johnstown newspaper, The Tribune-Democrat, who profiled the local hero and captured his community’s excitement about his success. With millions of streams on his catalog per week, the 22-year-old Eem Triplin has a shot to become one of his generation’s biggest stars.
