Tee Grizzley & Fridayy Are Mentally Strong On “I Know”

October 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tee Grizzley was one of few more mainstream names to come through with a new album this past weekend. Post Traumatic, his 12th overall project, has features from G Herbo, Tink, J. Cole, Mariah the Scientist, YTB Fatt, Future, and more. A lot of the guests laid down some rock-solid performances, especially Cole’s, which has easily been one of this project’s most revisited tracks. In just its short time being out, it’s already raked in over 7,000,000 streams on Spotify.

However, something we have come to learn about Post Traumatic is that we have to like some of the more “unsung” collaborations. One of them is “I Know,” a team-up between Tee Grizzley and R&B talent Fridayy. This is one of the most personal offerings from the 24-songs and it’s an empowering one at that. Both artists perform passionately about having grit and toughness through all of life’s struggles. Maintaining a positive outlook is the overarching message here and it shines through thanks to the effective writing from Tee and Fridayy.

“I Know” – Tee Grizzley & Fridayy

Quotable Lyrics:

I know how to hit thе studio and rap my life on some street s*** (I do)
I know how to take one brick, do a remix, now it’s three bricks (I do)
Pray all my dogs live bulletproof after all the s*** that we been through
Talkin’ blocks hot and they spinnin’ too, and hit loved ones just to get at you (Damn)
Seen close friends at the back door, ‘spite of gettin’ everything that I asked for
New stamps in my passport, running shoes, chasin’ this cash flow

Tee Grizzley & G Herbo Skate On Their Latest Collaboration “Swerve”

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tee Grizzley has just put out Post Traumatic, his twelfth project and follow-up to Tee’s Coney Island. The Detroit native has won our support for it, as we really appreciate some of the chances he took with it. There are some nice sample flips and more R&B-like cuts on this 24-song set that go over better than some may expect. What’s also nice about this tape is that Grizzley is giving his fans what they know him for as well. That is hard-hitting trap and hardcore rap bangers with intense flows. Tee Grizzley and G Herbo are doing that and at a high level on “Swerve.”

If you can believe it, this is just the third occasion in which they have been on a song together. The most recent is on YG’s latest record, JUST RE’D UP 3, on the track “MALIBU.” Prior to that, the Midwest stars linked on Tee’s Built For Whatever cut, “Never Bend Never Fold.” On “Swerve,” Herbo and Grizzley equally trade verses and in thrilling fashion. Aiding that sensation is that the fact that they both rap with ease over a dramatic piano trap beat. They indeed slip, slide, and “Swerve” all over the production and it’s one of our go-to’s from this tracklist. Listen to it below and see what you think.

“Swerve” – Tee Grizzley & G Herbo

Quotable Lyrics:

Rappin’ and trappin’ almost stopped me from prevailin’
In the studio, but I was stoppin’, makin’ sales (And)
F***ed that paper up when all my partners went to jail (And)
Anything under quarter million made bail (You know that)
Anything I say false, then you can intervene
Like how I used to walk with .40 Glocks and make them b****es sing (Bop)

Tee Grizzley Recounts His Troubled Past On “All I Wanna Do”

October 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tee Grizzley has some pretty underrated skills and one of them is his ability to get reflective. “First Day Out,” his 2017 breakout hit, should have told us this from the start. However, given that his themes usually revolve around street violence and gang activity, it’s gotten lost in the shuffle for us to some degree. But Tee Grizzley is here to remind us of this skill on one of his new songs, “All I Wanna Do.” This lands on the Detroit rapper, singer, and songwriter’s brand-new album, Post Traumatic.

One thing we have praised this record for so far is some of the chances it takes. While it might not sound like much, Grizzley isn’t one to rap over soul samples. He does that on “All I Wanna Do” and it sounds really good, so we are hoping for more of this in the future. On this 2:06 cut, the hitmaker raps in first and third person about his troubled past, including his lengthy prison sentence. He uses these experiences as life lessons, and he expresses how he wants to be inspiration for his close friends. “My street niggas, let me be your motivation / You can make it, I was broke before, I’m talkin’ so hungry that I was shakin’ (Man).” It’s a moving track and one of our favorites so far.

“All I Wanna Do” – Tee Grizzley

Quotable Lyrics:

Deep thinkin’ off this Rod Wave
Brodie been gone for ten years, he down to five days, n****, uh
They sent him off to prison, gave him a long time
I can’t cap, he probably needed that alone time
Focused on his goals now, realized he a gold mine
Told him he wasn’t s***, but he was great the whole time

But there’s a new joint track between Tee Grizzley and Hunxho that were liking quite a bit.

This another big moment for Hunxho, as the Atlanta native was just selected to the 2024 XXL Freshman class. Furthermore, he was an opener for Sexxy Red on her latest tour, Sexyy Red 4 President.

You ain’t gon’ see me f***in’ with n****s at all, these n****s suck too much d**k (B****-a**)

Back the f*** up, n****, you ain’t with us (B****)
Get your head knocked off, go against us (F***)
