Critical Praise for Peewee Longway:
“Peewee Longway is one of hip-hop’s secret weapons.” – XXL
“His topic is usually trapping, but that singular scope allows him to be one of Atlanta’s most consistent rappers on the subject.” – Pitchfork
“As a sheer vocal stylist, Longway is an absolutely incredible rapper, one capable of finding five different cadences on one spacey beat and then trying them all out in the space of a single verse.” – Stereogum
The Song:
Known for his bottomless arsenal of tumbling cadences, ATL titan Peewee Longway has a unique take on trap life. Blessing us with some playalistic bars, Peewee shares “Bout It Bout It,” his latest single, premiered by HotNewHipHop. Bouncing above soulful piano chords courtesy of Quay Global, known for his work with Lil Baby on tracks like “My Dawg“and “Life Goes On,” Peewee spits game to Atlanta’s finest females, extolling his prowess in business and in the bedroom. The latest single from the upcoming State of the Art project, “Bout It Bout It” provides a fresh spin on a rap catchphrase that entered the public consciousness via Master P and No Limit Records in 1995. Boasting the lead single “On Dat Freestyle,” which has over 1.7 million views on its video since its November 3rd release, State of the Art hits the internet on November 30th via MPA Bandcamp/EMPIRE.
Returning to the fold with a new batch of bangers, Peewee uses the sonic backdrop of trap music as a canvas on State of the Art, painting his outsized personality and his unique sense of rhythm above rumbling bass and skittering hi-hats. The proper follow-up to Peewee’s 2016 studio debut Mr. Blue Benjamin, State Of The Art is a testament to Peewee’s microphone prowess, offering lurching club bangers like “Shootem Up Bang,” minor-key flexors like “James Harden,” drugged-out anthems like “Les Be Real,” and many more. Featuring appearances from Gucci Mane, Migos, Plies, Maxo Kream, Young Nudy, and Lo Life Blacc, and with production from Mustard, 808 Mafia, ATL Jacob, Quay Global, Cicero On The Beat, and more, State Of The Art reaffirms Peewee’s position in the highest echelons of trap royalty.

The Background:
Peewee Longway, born Quincy Williams, is an Atlanta based artist known for his unorthodox flow and extraordinary use of intonation. Hailing from the tough streets of South Atlanta, Peewee, as his friends refer to him, grew up in a single parent home with one brother and one sister. Regardless of the obstacles he was presented with Peewee Longway still found a way to persevere and becomeknown as one of Atlanta’s most revered lyrical new artists. His debut mixtape Money, Pounds, Ammunition was released in March of 2013. Though most became familiar with Peewee Longway from his affiliation with his mentor, and close friend, Gucci Mane’s label 1017, he actually nurtured and created his own imprint, MPA Bandcamp Music Group. The next release, Running Around the Lobby, picked up steam and earned Peewee loyal fans that call themselves “Lobby Runners”. In turn this became the name to the third mixtape he put out that same year, in December of 2013.
Much like his peers that emerged from the Trap Music explosion in Atlanta, such Young Thug and Future, Peewee’s work ethic is phenomenal having released 10 projects since his debut in 2013. The last three projects Peewee released (Blue M&M King Size & MPA Vol. 2 & 3) were actually released in just months of each other. When asked, Peewee says that among his favorite Groups and Artists are the Hot Boyz, No Limit, Tupac, E40, and Gucci Mane. With hits like “Sneekin and Geekin,” “Cost to Be the Boss,” and “I Just Want the Money,” Peewee began to gain the attention of Legends like LL Cool J, who named him his “favorite new artist”. He also began to record with fellow Artists, such as ASAP Rocky, E40, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Wale. Music Publications including The Fader, Complex, and XXL have also taken notice of the budding superstar, crediting his contribution to the evolution of Southern music. With the release of his most recent project, Longway Sinatra executive produced by Cassius Jay, Peewee hopes to finally catapult his career to the next level. Longway Sinatra will be Peewee Longway’s second commercial release. With the music world on pins and needles waiting for his new musical offering, Peewee takes it all in stride. Known for his bubbly personality, bright smile, and animated hand gestures, he quotes ”The best is yet to come, they’re not ready.”
