Roc Nation’s, HDBeenDope, debuted the release of his first EP project as a new label signee. The project, produced by Dizzy Banko and boasting of collaborations with fellow east coast rappers like Tracey Dashh captures sounds deeply rooted in the city of New York.
The highly anticipated five-track project features standout single and lead track “Mamba.” The widespread anthem has captured the attention of fans across New York and nationwide through HD’s steady buildup of the song in his studio sessions. The rapper also performed the explosive track during his recent headline show at The Meadows in Brooklyn which amassed a list of local collaborators Tyler Loyal, Niko Brim, Lola Brooke, Dizzy Banko himself, and a room-shaking demand for an encore. The “Mamba” track has already made its way into football stadiums and major sports networks like ESPN as a natural champion’s anthem.
Today’s EP release is paired with the official music video release for “Wake Em Up.” The menacing sound of the song’s piano keys and bellowing drums overlaid with HD’s sharp, quick-fire rhymes is reflected in the new visual’s dark motifs captured inside an old industrial warehouse. Inside, masses are spotted sleeping on the floor which serves as a literal interpretation of listeners and doubters sleeping on HD’s work as he prepares to make his explosive mark in the Hip Hop game.
Be sure to hit play on both the EP and video!
