Sugarhill Ddot: The New York vibes are strong in the 'Like This' music video

Who says love is only reserved for summertime around this time of year? Turns out it’s 143 vibes brewing earlier than June 20 for Sugarhill Ddot coming courtesy of the ‘Like This’ single and music video.

You know the song demands ample replays but getting the cinematic treatment takes things up a few more notches. Embrace the hip-hop romance glow.

Breakout New York City teenaged rapper Sugarhill Ddot unveils an emotional breezy new single and music video “Like This” out now via Priority Records. ListenHERE. Watch the video HERE.

“Like This” produced by Scott Bridgeway (Baby Keem, Chlöe, Kendrick Lamar) notably revolves around an iconic R&B sample injecting new life into Ginuwine’s gold-certified 2001 classic “Differences.” The track’s smooth pulsating bassline thumps like a heartbeat, kicking into high-gear from the jump. Sugarhill Ddot seamlessly alternates his youthful cadence between sharp verses and a heartbroken, yet chantable chorus, “Why are you treating me like this?" In the accompanying visual directed by Shakka Ranks, Sugarhill Ddot pulls up to a New York City bowling alley where he enjoys a laidback and lowkey date between arcade games and strikes. The teenager raps to the camera exuding confidence and charisma.

The buzzing New York-born force of nature at only 16-years-old shows no signs of stopping or slowing down. In April, he turned up on the introspective “Tweakin,” generating millions of streams alongside releasing the dark music video.

This year Sugarhill Ddot made his Rolling Loud debut and kicked off the year with his single “Outside.” Last year Sugarhill Ddot dropped a slew of singles from 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 nearly 75 million streams in the U.S. alone in his budding career.
