The Announcement:
Enigmatic future superstar Stove God Cooks is aiming to keep his fans fed in 2026. The buzzing, Syracuse-born rapper comes through with his first new single of 2026, collaborating with GRAMMY-winning producer, artist, and music mogul Swizz Beatz for “Welcome To My Garden.”
Revealed via a post on Stove’s Instagram, the new song uses a lush sample from Minnie Riperton, allowing Stove to stack his hard-hustling flexes with his trademark sly melody and escalating intensity: “I don’t need your flowers, b*tch, I got my own garden,” he intones. Skating atop Swizz’s flip of Riperton’s soprano and the sample’s celebratory horns, the rapper winks at the audience, taunting anyone who still believes that money can’t change a man: “I told you that I’d always stay the same/I told you that the money won’t change me, b*tch I lied to you,” he sings. The song’s verse features some of Stove’s best lyricism to date, piling quotable lines atop one another with effortless ease: “Cocaine in the car seat with my daughter/My theme music the sound of boiling water.”
“Welcome To My Garden” is Stove God Cooks’ first new song of 2026, following the late 2025 singles “GOAT STAMP” and “El Pueblo.” “El Pueblo” is a quick and dirty banger, riding a 6/8 groove with twangy acoustic and bluesy electric guitars, creating a vibe that could soundtrack a wild west saloon fight. “GOAT STAMP” was a triumphant victory lap for the acclaimed rapper, with the rhymer unfurling quotable quips about the hustle above triumphant horns. Stove celebrated the release of “GOAT STAMP” with a star-studded official release party at NYC, hosted by Shiest Bubz and featuring guest appearances from NY legends Max B and Funkmaster Flex. Stove is preparing to release GOAT STAMP, his next album, coming very soon via Babygrande Records.

“Welcome To My Garden” arrives after a whirlwind 2025 for Stove God Cooks, who is evolving from your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper to the standard bearer for East Coast Hip-Hop. Stove made his biggest impact this year by singing the hook on “F.I.C.O.,” a standout track from Let God Sort ‘Em Out, the multi-GRAMMY Award-nominated comeback album by Pusha T and Malice as the Clipse, which Fat Joe and Jadakiss called the “hook of the year” when Stove appeared on the Joe & Jada Podcast last month. The acclaimed single was recently named the third-best song of 2025 by Consequence.
Earlier in November, Stove starred with the Thornton Brothers in the Hunnan Hussein-directed video for “F.I.C.O.,” which generated over 1 million views since its release. In Summer of 2025, around the time of the release of Let God Sort ‘Em Out, Stove God Cooks took a trip to Paris, where he hung out with Pharrell and hit the studio with Jay-Z.
The product of years of hard work, Stove God Cooks’ breakout 2025 is a treat for his longtime fans, who have watched with pride as more and more industry figures, including Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz, Busta Rhymes, Griselda, and Roc Marciano, recognize their fave’s incredible potential. Known initially for his show-stopping guest appearances on songs by Griselda artists like Westside Gunn, Stove made the rap world take notice in 2020, when he released Reasonable Drought. Produced in full by Roc Marciano, Reasonable Drought has developed a legendary reputation, earning Best of 2020 honors from Complex and growing in stature by the year. To date, Reasonable Drought is Stove’s only studio album, but he has tantalized his fans with his guest spots and EPs.
Refusing to make his loyal fans wait any longer for new music, Stove God Cooks is hard at work cooking up his next project. Stay tuned for GOAT STAMP, arriving very soon via Babygrande Records.
