Whomptie – I Don’t Wanna @whomptie

Published

on

Whomptie music video for “I Don’t Wanna”,directed by Kariuki, is the first song off his 5-track EP, “Mira Loma”, which was released on October 4, 2019. “I Don’t Wanna” is produced by Only Way Jay x Julius Portis and mixed/mastered by Don Dadah.

The track highlights an authentic viewpoint of how I see the state of the music industry in comparison to where I’m at in my career. There’s a lot of things I don’t wanna do or talk about simply because these days I try to be as pure as possible, so when it comes to things that don’t align with my current state of mind, then I don’t wanna. Keep it a buck with me and I’ll keep it real with you.

Breaking through in his rap career, Northern California’s Whomptie started making music in high school but made his real debut in his early 20’s. His name, which he pronounces (womp-tee), was founded in 2011 as a gamer tag inspired by a Starting Six song titled, “Smoking with a Whomptie.” The Bay Area artist exuberates his gift of songwriting through his creative verses prominent throughout his entire discography. Whomptie experimented in past projects with fellow rappers Colly Moe, LaFreshman, Lambo Carlo, Dork the Ghost, and producers Ryan Moe, Ninz Beatz, and Nicky Don Dadah. The artist’s biggest inspirations feature Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, A$AP Mob, BeastCoast, Pi’erre Bourne, Speaker Knockerz & Mac Miller.

The 22-year old artist from Pittsburg, CA (which he refers to as “No H”) released his first mixtape “Young Dub” in 2019 just weeks before issuing his newest EP “Mira Loma” in October. Mainly produced by Pittsburg native Only Way Jay (@onlywayjay), Mira Loma the EP, out on all platforms, is the young artists’ greatest work thus far as he showcases his one-of-a-kind sound with his captivating lyricism, melodies, and harmonies.

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
