“The stars are aligning for GASHI. The Brooklyn-based rapper has been on a tear over the last few years, and his rise hasn’t gone unnoticed.” – COMPLEX
“With (GASHI’s) past success and a good feel for both rap and R&B, this year may be one for the ages.” – XXL

The Song:
[New York, NY – August 22, 2018] Generating over 100 million streams across all platforms, Brooklyn’s GASHI is hip-hop’s next crossover superstar. Coming through with a hook-filled, Afropop-inflected jam for the late summer, GASHI shares “Creep On Me,” his new single via Honesty Saves Time/RCA Records. Dancing above a syncopated instrumental with a smoothly rhythmic vocal, GASHI describes the process of falling head over heels in love with someone who shows affection in private but plays hard to get in public. Produced by Cirkut, with an appearance from French Montana and additional production from DJ Snake, the first guest artists to ever appear on one of GASHI’s singles, “Creep On Me” is a bright blast of fresh air and a perfect fit for the radio.

One night I stopped by his house in LA to record and this was the first song we worked on and it effortlessly came together to sound the way it does – impossible to box within a certain genre. I make great music that’s authentic to me wherever I’m at in life.”
GASHI’s new song comes on the heels of the Libya-born, Albanian-raised rapper’s appearance at Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo just weeks ago.
About GASHI
A master tunesmith who first broke into the industry as a songwriter, GASHI built a massive following with his impeccable sense of melody and lyrical abilities. Born in Libya but with both parents from Kosovo, GASHI spent much of his young life as a refugee, moving from country to country. His family eventually settled in Brooklyn, where GASHI spent a majority of his teen years. Though his roots are in hip-hop, GASHI has expanded his sonic palette and created a unique sound that sits in between pop, hip-hop, rap, and dance music, breaking out in 2017 with the hit “Disrespectful,”which has over 50 million streams on Spotify alone. With “Creep On Me” and GASHI’s upcoming project, the young multi-hyphenate will continue his march to mainstream success.
