Critical Praise:

“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 Video:

Pioneering a mutated brand of drug-fueled trap, ATL’s Peewee Longway has a bottomless array of flows. Delivering deeply NSFW rhymes over soulful piano, Master Peewee shares “Bout It, Bout It,” his latest video. Retreating to a massive mansion with scantily-clad models, Peewee experiences an NSFW fantasy in the new video, as the models compete for his attention. Featured on WorldstarHipHop, “Bout It, Bout It” is the latest video from Peewee’s State of the Art album, following “On Dat Freestyle” (3.9 million views), which finds Peewee rocking a luchador mask.

Blessed with a brilliant album cover by the peerless KD Designz, which depicts Peewee creating a lean-powered, robotic version of himself, the XXL-premiered State of the Art finds the artist making the case for himself as one of trap music’s essential artists. 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,” drugged-out anthems like “Les Be Real,” posse cuts like “Trapper Gone Be A Trapper,” and other showcases of Peewee’s flexible flows. Featuring appearances from Gucci Mane, Migos, Plies, Maxo Kream, Young Nudy, and Lo Life Blacc, and with production from Metro Boomin, Mustard, 808 Mafia, Cassius Jay, ATL Jacob, Quay Global, Swaggdot, Cicero On The Beat, and more, State Of The Art released via MPA Bandcamp/EMPIRE.

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 11 projects since his debut in 2013. November 2018, marked the release of Peewee’s most recent album, State of the Art, which further made the case for Peewee as one of Atlanta’s top trap artist. Prior to this, Peewee’s last three projects (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. Peewee’s most recent album, State of the Art, which is executive produced by the likes of Metro Boomin, Dj Mustard, and more, looks to catapult his career to the next level. On top of the skilled production, the album includes features from Quavo, Offset, Maxo Kream and much more young talent. 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.”
