Ghais Guevara Is Down “4L” On Outstanding New Single

by

If his recent singles – including “Flowers,” “Leprosy,” and “Camera Shy” – are anything to go by, then Ghais Guevara will drop one of 2025’s best albums very soon. Moreover, his next project Goyard Ibn Said continues this persona and releases on January 24 of next year. The Philly-based rapper and producer just solidified his upcoming LP’s greatness with another track drop: “4L.” It’s a bouncy, progressive, exciting, and pretty conflicted banger with some amazing sample flips and instrumental additions.

Also, it certainly helps that Ghais Guevara’s witty charisma and compelling turns of phrase make the rapping display on “4L” an absolute treat. The song is kind of conflicted, as mentions of men cowering in darkness and of sin-loving honor roll girlies seem to point to primal urges clashing with present realities. It’s all a tad vague, but these lyrical mentions are certainly evocative and work well with the rambunctious instrumental. Also, this is nothing new for Goyard. His condemnations of political and economic systems pair with his more grounded and quotidian perspective as a hip-hop head, resulting in timelessly resistant anthems.

What’s most impressive about “4L” and the other Goyard Ibn Said singles, though, is just how much Ghais Guevara seems to have improved his songwriting chops and the complementary elements of his music. There was definitely more controlled chaos in his earlier work like BlackBolshevik and There Will Be No Super-Slave, and while we aren’t ruling the possibility of that out for his next album, this refinement and focus doesn’t compromise on talent, skill, message, or ethos.

Ghais Guevara’s “4L”

Quotable Lyrics
All that glory don’t mean nothing, though we took it on the chin,
‘Til the gravity from tension starts to cave us both in,
We was tripping and relapsing, we fell victim to the passion,
Stay provoking me with rhapsodies, you about to make it happen

Young Nudy Explains The Difference Between 4L And 4PF

by

There are so many rappers with so many different affiliations that people can’t even keep up. Even people who might really want to know those things, like Charlamagne Tha God for example. In a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne confused 4L and 4PF and needed Young Nudy to clarify for him. After he notices Nudy is sporting the 4L he confuses it with Lil Baby’s 4PF. Funny enough, Charlamagne doesn’t really know the difference. Thankfully, everyone is able to laugh it off and Nudy fills him in.

After Charlamagne asks “What’s the difference?” Nudy answers simply “we the biggest. Big 4L.” The video made the rounds on various news sites and social media pages today where fans expressed their surprise that Charlamagne would make such a mistake. While neither of the two have made any comments on the interview since it was released plenty of observers have chimed in.

Young Nudy Clarifies For Charlamagne

Young Nudy dropped his new album Gumbo back in February. The album sports features from Key Glock and 21 Savage. Speaking of 21, the rapper made a guest appearance last month at one of Nudy’s shows in Atlanta. The two teamed up to perform “Peaches & Eggplants” their collaborative single from Nudy’s new album. The two Atlanta-based rappers are actually cousins and link up with each other often on record. During the raid that resulted in 21 Savage’s memorable detainment by ICE, Nudy was also arrested and charged with aggravated assault. According to reports following the raid, it was Nudy’s assault in the first place that led to the raid and 21 Savage’s ICE detainment happened afterward.

The artist has been prolifically releasing albums for years. Gumbo follows 2022’s EA Monster and 2021’s Rich Shooter. Those albums feature guest performances from artists like Future, Gucci Man, and Babydrill. His track “EA” with 21 Savage recently received a new remix from fellow Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty. He debuted the remix back in April during a live-streamed DJ set. What do you think of Nudy’s appearance and explanation on The Breakfast Club? Let us know in the comments below.

Young Nudy Shares “Gumbo” Ft. 21 Savage & Key Glock

by

Young Nudy is quite possibly the most consistent rapper out of Atlanta with a prolific output to show for it. Though he was never poised to become a breakout star with pop sensibilities, his gritty, oddball sound has turned him into a pivotal figure in the Southern rap scene. One that is frequently championed among rap circles on the streets and online. So, with it being a new year, fans undoubtedly looked forward to what he had in store for 2023.

Each one of Nudy’s projects feels better than the last. In 2021, he blessed fans with back-to-back releases of Dr. EV4L and Rich Shooter – two projects that further cemented his name in hip-hop. Then, he came through last year with his project EA Monster, which dropped to critical acclaim. Needless to say, he’s had fans anticipating his next move throughout the last seven months, especially since he’s not one to necessarily release too many singles ahead of his next project.

Young Nudy – Gumbo

Shortly after a hacker breached Nudy’s vault and leaked over 100 songs, the rapper returned with his latest body of work, Gumbo. The 13-song project finds Nudy back into this spacey, warped soundscape that sounds even more refined than his previous projects. The majority of the project was produced by Coupe, though there are contributions from Pi’erre Bourne, 44 and Hazel. Additionally, 21 Savage and Key Glock join Nudy on the tracklist as the only two features on Gumbo.

Each song off of Gumbo is named after food (i.e. “Pot Roast” ft. Key Glock and “Fish & Chips.” The body of work further showcases Nudy’s off-kilter flow and unconventional approach that paints a broader picture of Atlanta. The “EA” rapper continues to showcase his range without necessarily leaving his pocket, even when he treads towards a more melodic delivery. Check out Nudy’s latest project and tracklist.
