It looks like new music from EST Gee is coming sooner than we thought. On Friday (March 3), the Louisville rapper shared a trailer on Instagram for his upcoming project, Mad.

The trailer seems to tease that Mad will offer a more personal look into EST Gee’s life, as he shares stories of the trauma he’s been forced to deal with. In the short clip, viewers see a 2017 phone call between EST Gee and his friend Red, who was killed shortly after returning from prison.

In a voiceover, EST Gee shares some words, as he fights through the pain.

“You gonna look at me and tell me it ain’t that bad,” EST Gee says in the clip. “Let them bang on my past. Bet you don’t feel nothing, you can’t be mad. You cannot be mad… Ain’t no tragedy in life like the death of a child, they say.”

Mad marks EST Gee’s second project in six months, his previous being I Never Felt Nun. In an interview for Rolling Stone conducted around that time, EST Gee shared that he hopes his success motivates other rappers from Louisville.

“They know me,” said EST Gee. “So, where I was standing at, a lot of people standing at [now], so they know they can get on. That was important to see. Because Jack [Harlow], yeah, he from Louisville, but he from a different place, different demographic. So people just like me, [my success] motivates them. They created a scene where there wasn’t no scene before and there’s a scene now.”

EST Gee Reflects On Being “Undefeated” In New Track

by

Football player-turned-rapper EST Gee has released yet another single, titled “Undefeated.” The 28-year-old, who has already dropped several projects since the new year including “BLOW UP” and “IF I STOP NOW,” takes a more intimate approach to his newest track. The steady trap beat in “Undefeated” paves way for authentic reflection and features the rapper’s moody bars. Throughout the verses, EST spits about overcoming past and present challenges in his life.

EST, who is signed to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group, has been on the radar following the 2020 releases of his third and fourth mixtapes Ion Feel Nun and I Still Don’t Feel Nun. The rapper has since collaborated with the minds of other trap artists including Young Thug, Pooh Shiesty, and Lil Durk. Most recently, EST was featured on Lambo4oe’s single “Self Esteem” in which he showed his versatility as a hip-hop artist.

EST Gee Uncovers His Troubled Beginnings In “Undefeated”

In “Undefeated,” EST dishes out his triumphs, but also acknowledges that he has ways to go. The Kentucky native hasn’t been shy to reveal the rocky road that has brought him to success, which included an arrest for drug trafficking that eventually led him to start his rap career. At one point in the track, EST reveals his troubles with drugs but quickly sweeps it under the rug. “It was what it was, but I’m done ventin’, finish, the streets ain’t got no love,” he raps.

All in all, “Undefeated” follows suit of EST’s recent musical endeavors, showcasing his tenacity for growth within the industry. Although he typically classifies as a trap and hip-hop artist, this promising rapper is proving to pave the road for his own unique and authentic style. “Undefeated” is now streaming on all platforms, so be sure to let us know what you think about the track in the comments down below. As always, keep in touch with HNHH for the latest in hip-hop.

Quotable Lyrics:

Even Pluto said I’m great, he wanna help me change my fate
Took a monster out on tour just for the world to know my face
Fifty-six nights straight, I go in beast mode for that pape’
This a reservation for rank, it’s a marathon and a race

On September 16, George Albert Stone III, better known as EST Gee, dropped his latest project I Never Felt Nun. The 21-track album features guest appearances from hip-hop headliners Machine Gun Kelly (“Death Around The Corner”), Future (“Shoot It Myself”), Jeezy (“The Realest”), Bryson Tiller (“Sabotage”), and Jack Harlow (“Backstage Passes”). 

The project has been well received so far – particularly the Harlow and MGK tracks – and to celebrate their success, George came through with a luxurious surprise for his fellow artists.

In the past, GQ Magazine had EST Gee sit down to examine his astounding collection of chains, rings, watches, and more.

The Louisville rapper began by showing his “G” pendants and chains, priced at around $10,000 each. His newest piece at the time was a custom letter pendant in yellow gold and covered in round-cut diamonds, engraved with the letters “EST.” Gee explained to viewers that the letter “G” represents the latter part of his name and the “EST” stands for “Everybody Shine Together.”

In addition to these, the 28-year-old owns an array of Cuban links and baguettes; most of the former are made of entirely white gold, ranging in price from $35,000, all the way to $65,000.

Many of these chains also feature round-cut diamonds in various patterns, with his most expensive pieces weighing in at a full kilo. As for his baguette chains, they are slightly smaller and tend to be either white gold or yellow gold.

George didn’t forget to open wide and show off his permanent grill, which he said came in at $24,000. Fully diamond in a honeycomb pattern, the rapper is not afraid to flash his 24k smile to the world.

EST Gee will be sure to add some new pieces to his collection following the release of I Never Felt Nun.

Machine Gun Kelly’s Return To Rap On EST Gee’s New Album Is Met With Both Love And Confusion

Before he was an emo-rock pop star (and became sort of cool to hate), Machine Gun Kelly released a string of relatively successful rap albums and was best known as a rapper, even appearing on XXL‘s 2012 Freshman Class cover alongside fellow future stars like Danny Brown, (ahem) Future, French Montana, and Macklemore (as well as Iggy Azaela, Kid Ink, and Hopsin. Not to be a hater, but this might have been the weakest Freshman class ever selected by that esteemed publication). However, he’s received the majority of his career accolades since shifting genres in 2020 with Tickets To My Downfall.

But now, he’s back rapping, thanks to fellow Midwesterner EST Gee’s new album I Never Felt Nun. Guest-starring on “Death Around The Corner,” MGK resurrects his rapid-fire flow to reflect on his father’s death, his commercial success, and the apparent joys of sipping lean. It’s a solid trap song and to be honest, not that far off the mark from the music he used to make prior to 2019.

However, rap fans’ reactions have been… let’s say “mixed” regarding the prodigal son’s return. In the last three years, he’s made quite the spectacle of himself alongside his fiance Megan Fox and with the general short-term memory of social media, it’s likely a lot of folks forgot — or never even knew — that he made rap, to begin with. That short-lived but eventful feud with Eminem couldn’t have helped much, either. He does have a few defenders, though, who were quick to remind their fellow users that he used to get bars off.

If MGK decides to stick to his hip-hop roots for the foreseeable future, though, rap fans might just have to get used to hearing him popping up on more features now that he’s a certified No.1-selling artist — even if he did have to switch his style up. Check out more responses to his collab with EST Gee below.
