The Alamo Records Signee Perfects A Rhyme Scheme in This Fast-Paced, Bite-Sized Banger From the Upcoming Bawskee 4

Critical Praise:

“The rapper has become the viral face of the trap scene.” – OFFICE Mag

“The video for Comethazine’s ‘Walk’ currently sits at 33 million views, solidfying the nightmarishly hyper-violent track as bonafide hit of SoundCloud rap.” – The FADER

“Comethazine has established himself was one of hip-hop’s rising stars—amassing a solid fan base and co-signs from the likes of Rich the Kid and ASAP Rocky.” – COMPLEX

“St. Louis teen Comethazine gave rap a shot, and got millions of streams in return. As his December 2017 video ‘Piped Up’ inches closer to 3 million views, it seems the young rapper made the right choice to leave the regular nine-to-five life behind” – XXL

“Comethazine is one of the most buzzing artists in the hip-hop world” – HotNewHipHop

The Song:

Comethazine specializes in lightning-quick trap bangers that succinctly and evocatively express his dripping disdain for haters, snitches, and lames. Asserting his supremacy in a blistering 96 seconds, Comethazine shares “Derek Jeter,” his new single. Bragging about a high-rolling playboy lifestyle that evokes the titular Yankees shortstop’s, Comethazine keeps up the same rhyme scheme for the whole song, snarling atop thumping kick drums and brass fanfares: “Single life for me cause I chose to be a cheater/Dolo when I slide, I pull up just me and my heater.” The JMP-directed music video is a day in the life of Comethazine’s playboy escapades. From the bedroom to the spelling bee to the MLB, Comethazine’s look is never complete without a blunt in hand. “Derek Jeter” is the latest in a line of Comethazine singles, including the fiercely soulful “We Gone Win” (1.3 million YouTube views) and the haunting, noirish “Air Max” (2.1 million views).

Comethazine is currently preparing to release Bawskee 4, his second project of the year, following-up Pandemic, Comethazine’s apocalyptic March 2020 project. Opening with the mission statement “No Front” (2.2 million YouTube views) and hosting the breakout hit “LEAD THE RACE (UNDEFEATED)” (11 million Spotify streams), the project establishes Comethazine as rap’s most charming misanthrope, reveling in his “me vs. the world” attitude. Pandemic followed the successful Bawskee series of mixtapes in 2018 and 2019, including last year’s Billboard 200-charting Bawskee 3.5. With Gold (“Bands”) and Platinum (“Walk”) singles under his belt, Comethazine has his mind set on becoming a rare beast in the rap game–a self-made, self-sustaining superstar.

Stay tuned for more information about Comethazine’s upcoming Bawskee 4 project, coming soon via Alamo Records.

The Background:

Born Frank Childress in 1998, St. Louis-native Comethazine was a lean-loving high-school dropout. Influenced by Nipsey Hussle, Odd Future, Lil B, and Chief Keef, he started rapping in 2015. He soon discovered that his initial output was not as well received as party-oriented cloud rap, so he switched angles and scored a pair of local underground hits with “Run It” and “Hella Choppers.” The Aloe Vera EP landed in 2016, which resulted in a late-2017 deal with Alamo Records. A slew of short singles followed, including “Deathwish,” “Piped Up,” “Oowee,” and “Hero.” “Bands” became a viral hit, landing on his first full-length, Bawskee, which debuted on the Billboard 200 upon its release in 2018.
