D Sturdy delivers with signature flexing on ‘Put It In Her Back’

Whether you’re just now getting up on the Sturdy grind or have rocked with him since Philly Goats started igniting major buzz, it’s clear he’s keeping expectations sky-high especially with even more anthems and a full-fledged mixtape arriving in the coming weeks.

D STURDY, core member of the Philly Goats, announces his new mixtape, Make It Out, is slated for release this Spring via Stack Or Starve/Def Jam Recordings. The forthcoming tape finds STURDY stepping out on his own and delving deeper into himself as he offers listeners a glimpse into his artistry and continued growth. Brimming with nuances, the tape is an introspective self-portrait that touches on STURDY’s upbringing and life on Philly’s streets, while also showcasing his expert storytelling and continued perseverance as he strives for success.

Coinciding with the news, STURDY shares his second single and the latest offering from his forthcoming tape “Put It In Her Back”. The hard-hitting track features a booming production as both he and his fellow Philly Goat member PGS Spence tag team the track with their Jersey Club-style cadence accelerated by their rapid-fire flow, hi-octane energy, and braggadocious bars. In between a memorable hook, STURDY proclaims, “I’m running this shit. I know they upset.” 

“Put It In Her Back” follows last month’s poignant single “Die Young” [with KUR]. The inspirational and unflinchingly raw song served as a tribute to both his friends and those lost to the streets due to gun violence while also touching on the obstacles he’s overcome as he strives to make it out. An uplifting anthem that has resonated with listeners and press alike. The song is heating up at DSPs. ATTACK THE CULTURE christened it as an “inspirational anthem,” going on to applaud the “uplifting grind mentality.”

XXL Magazine recently featured D STURDY and his Philly Goats cohorts as part of The Break, in which they dove deep into their come-up. Last year, D STURDY and the Philly Goats shined on their self-titled debut mixtape, Philly Goats. It resulted in tens of millions of streams and achieved widespread critical acclaim. VIBE hailed it as “eight selections intended to make you bust a move.” Further proving that D Sturdy and The Philly Goats are poised for success, YouTube named them a “Trending Artist On The Rise,” while The FADER proclaimed “Get Off The Wall” as a “song of the summer 2023 candidate.”

Philly Goats uphold a legacy of high-energy club music, yet they also pave their own lane in the modern movement with airtight rapping and soaring singalongs. It’s no wonder Pitchfork hailed them among “The Next Generation of Club Rap” and proclaimed, “It’s an escape.” However, it's only the beginning for both D STURDY and the Philly Goats.

A newfound chapter unfolds for the fast-rising rapper as he steps out on his own and reflects on his personal and artistic growth, continuing to embody an unceasing desire to escape the harsh realities of Philadelphia's streets – bearing the torch for Philly and kids alike. Listen to “Put It In Her Back” and stay tuned for more news to follow from D STURDY and Philly Goats.
