While there’s still 11 more months to go, it’s clear Apple Music is giving all the spotlight to Double T to get the Up Next Artist flexing going and setting the bar pretty high.

Apple Music today announced Teezo Touchdown as the latest addition to its Up Next program, Apple Music's monthly artist initiative geared towards identifying, showcasing and elevating rising talent. 

"I’m honored to have the opportunity to be the January Up Next artist for 2024 and I’m looking forward to the other artists who will push music forward for the rest of the year,” said Teezo. "Thank you to everyone at Apple Music."

Between appearing on tracks with Drake, Don Toliver, and Lil Yachty, joining fellow Texan rapper Travis Scott on his Circus Maximus tour, receiving praise from hip-hop legend André 3000, and releasing his genre-bending debut album How Do You Sleep at Night?, Teezo is creating a unique sound that serves as an ode to each genre that has shaped him as an artist. With his debut album How Do You Sleep at Night?, Teezo reached No. 1 on the alternative albums chart in 49 countries worldwide. In 2023, Teezo's music saw a 750% increase in streams on Apple Music worldwide and was featured across major editorial playlists including New Music Daily, A-List Pop and Superbloom.

In his exclusive Up Next short film out today, Teezo takes fans through a day in the life around his hometown of Beaumont, TX and describes what makes his sound so unique. “The sound that I’m crafting right now goes by the name of ‘rock and boom,’” he tells Apple Music. “It’s R&B with the intensity of rock, the penmanship of hip-hop, and a boom that’s going to shake the world.”
