D Sturdy: Of course Philly Goats' own has come through with a 'Die Young' music video

Low-key and high-key? Philly Goats are automatic must-see and must-hear whenever they drop. So days after D Sturdy blessed fans with a hard ‘Die Young’ anthem, it’s only right he follows it up with a hard-hitting music video.

Clocking in at just under four minutes, Sturdy doesn’t hold back going the cinematic route with this eye-opening music video. Tap in.

Philly Goats member D STURDY unleashes an incisive and incendiary new solo single + video entitled “Die Young” featuring Kur out now via Stack Or Starve/Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE. Watch HERE.

On the track, piano blankets a distinct 808 thump as D STURDY leans into a sizzling flow. Through introspective rhymes, he reflects on his trials and tribulations during a rough rise from the Philadelphia underground to the doorstep of rap stardom. The momentum culminates on a chantable chorus, “I get up out the streets so I won’t die young.” Fellow hometown hero Kurcounters with emotional bars and a captivating verse of his own. The track further distinguishes D STURDY as a phenomenon and an artist to watch closely in 2024.

XXL recently featured the group as part of “The Break, diving deep into their come-up thus far. Last year, D STURDY and his Philly Goats cohorts shined on the self-titled debut mixtape, Philly Goats. Beyond piling up tens of millions of streams, it garnered widespread critical acclaim. ATTACK THE CULTURE raved, “The album deserves ample replays, while VIBE praised it as  “eight selections intended to make you bust a move.”
 
Philly Goats are simply on fire. YouTube named them a “Trending Artist On The Rise, while The FADER touted “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.” 

It's only the beginning though.

Watch out for a whole lot more from D STURDY and Philly Goats.
