Video: Eem Triplin – “YEAH YEAH!”
The 22-Year-Old Artist/Producer Show Off the Fruits Of His Success In New Video
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 Triplin approaches music like a sculptor: Each song is a slab of marble ready for him to chip away at, until it resembles the masterpiece in his head.” – The FADER
“Best New Artist…With a thunderous style of production, Eem possesses an innate ability to construct expansive, captivating soundscapes.” – Pigeons & Planes
“Eem cuts through the haze of “Walked In” with his signature rasp and infectious lyrics.” – Billboard
“There’s an addictive quality to his songs, whether they’re the polished pluggnb that got him noticed or something a little blunter” – The FADER
“…The perfect lines to get stuck in your head for days on end.” – Lyrical Lemonade
“…one of the new wave’s most talented dual threats.” – Our Generation Music
“Eem is a true visionary, building worlds with his releases with not only impressive musical talents but being able to get out eye-catching visuals with consistent aesthetics and color schemes. ” – Daily Chiefers
The Video:
Keeping calm and balanced while still radiating an effortless swagger, Eem Triplin shrugs off his haters with ease. Celebrating the start of his first-ever headlining tour, Eem shares the video for “YEAH YEAH!,” a flex-heavy banger that finds the PA native putting the opps in their place over vibey, relaxed production. “YEAH YEAH” released earlier this month as part of a double-single, along with “Allocate.”
In the “YEAH YEAH!” video, Eem casually hangs out in a parking lot filled with vintage Benzes. Dripped out in a green moto-style leather jacket, twinkling Chrome Hearts chains, and a shiny new watch, the 22-year-old star is surrounded by baddies who admire his style and relaxed confidence as he spits bars about his newfound fame. Co-directed by Eem Triplin and Declan Kyle, the video proceeds to follow Eem through several other color-coded locations, before transforming into a neon fever dream during the chopped-n-screwed outro.
The “YEAH YEAH!” video arrives as Eem kicks off his “STILL PRETTY Tour.” Commencing in Philadelphia on November 11th, the tour criss-crosses the continent for 21 dates, stopping in New York (Gramercy Theater), Atlanta (The Loft), and Los Angeles (Echoplex) before concluding in Tampa on December 20th. Featuring support from Wolfacejoeyy as well as fledgling rapper Launtrezze, the tour promises to feature fan-favorite tracks from across Eem’s catalog, including buzzing bangers like “WALKED IN,” “TELL ME I’M RIGHT,” and “What Da Opp Said” from Eem’s debut EP, STILL PRETTY. “STILL PRETTY Tour” is Eem’s first headlining tour, following multiple standout performances at festivals like Rolling Loud Miami, plus overseas dates at Clout Festival and Splash! Festival, and stints as direct support for LUCKI on the “Flawless Like Me: The Made Martian Tour,” and his close friend and collaborator, $NOT on his “Get Busy Or Die Tour.”
After his performance at Rolling Loud Miami in late July, Eem returned to his hometown of Johnstown, PA, a small city east of Pittsburgh, to perform his first-ever headlining show in celebration of his debut EP, STILL PRETTY. 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. The 22-year-old rapper invited local rappers from the Johnstown area to open for him, including TrueK814, Launtrezze, and DJ Femi.
With millions of streams on his catalog per week within a year’s time, the 22-year-old Eem Triplin’s potential is sky high.
