In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we want to introduce you to upcoming artist Tireek and his brand new single titled “Baby Boy” featuring Nyzahir.
NYC-based hip hop up-and-comer Tireek showcases his impressive flow and lyrical vulnerability in his latest single “Baby Boy” featuring Nyzahir. Poignant and deeply moving, “Baby Boy” paints a picture of life for young black men in America. Rich with emotion, the smooth hip hop slow-burner delves into topics such as depression, generational trauma/curses, violence, self-love, pain and healing. The track features a smooth chorus from Arizona based artist, Nyzahir, that will make you feel like you’re levitating. “Baby Boy” gives listeners a space to heal, reflect, and sink deep into the world that Tireek creates with his lyrical candor and smooth hip hop sensibilities.
On the single, Tireek opens up: “I based this song off of my personal experiences as well as the experiences of those around me. Growing up where I’m from can be very traumatic because there’s a lot of negativity, violence, lawlessness and more. The song talks about how that environment plays a role in the way you view the world and others around you.”
The song is produced by MIDES and was mixed/mastered by Icon (ASAP Rocky, Justin Bieber, H.E.R., TyDollaSign, Travis Scott, dababy).
With the single drop, Tireek announces two NYC shows coming up: November 11th at Hart Bar BK, and January 12th, 2023 at Purgatory.
