Breakout New York City teenaged rapper Sugarhill Ddot serves up a chilling new single and music video “Tweakin” out now via Priority Records.
Produced by AyyoLucas, EliWTF, and Vogo, the track hinges on a hypnotic soundscape laced with a gripping piano loop and 808 thump. Ddot doles out bold and braggadocios rhymes as he reflects on his trials and tribulations. Backed by jittery hi-hats, it culminates on the tense and disarmingly catchy refrain, “Paranoid ready to die, cause lately I’ve been tweakin.” He exhales, “Pray for me.” Directed by Jalen Scott, the accompanying visual proves both stirring and stunning. Set in an ornate church, he pleads for divine help as emotions overflow. The clip places viewers inside of his head, wading through stress, anxiety, and darkness with punchy bars.
It arrives on the heels of Sugarhill Ddot making his Rolling Loud debut and his single “Outside,” which was the first single from Ddot since the high-intensity “Spinnin’ Pt. 2” with BBG Steppaa. It was preceded by “My Baby,” the rambunctious “Shake It,” “Make A Mess,” and the Miami-inspired “3AM In The Yams.” That track quickly made waves, hitting over one million video views within four days. It’s a testament to Ddot meteoric rise to prominence. To kick off his Priority Records debut the young MC dropped the MCVertt (Lil Uzi Vert) produced standout track “Let Ha Go” alongside a striking George Buford (Ice Spice) directed video.
Beginning at age 13, Ddot quickly made waves with his abilities. Through YouTube, his self-released tracks “I Wanna Love You,” “Dream,” and “The Real Purge” have racked up nearly 20 million combined views — and those conventional metrics only capture a small slice of this phenomenon’s first steps to stardom. To date, he has amassed over 50 million streams in the U.S. alone in his budding career.
