The single goes hard but getting a full-fledged visual, too? Super tough. Tap in.
21 Lil Harold, standout member of 21 Savage’s Slaughter Gang music imprint, arrives today with his introspective new single, “Sundown,” featuring fellow Atlanta rapper J.I.D. The record, produced by Jetson Made and CGutta (Lil C), also sports a brand new music video, directed by Diamond Visuals, starring both rappers. Available now.
21 Lil Harold’s “Sundown” is his most thematic work to date. The Atlanta upstart, known as a standout member of 21 Savage’s Slaughtergang music imprint, a subsidiary of Epic Records, delivers cautionary tales over a cryptic sample beside his Atlanta brethren J.I.D., whose confident delivery and cutting-edge depictions of life in the “A” are right at home beside Lil Harold’s chilling drawl and raw recollection. The video, shot in black-and-white, adds a cinematic element to the suspense of “Sundown,” Lil Harold’s first official single since October’s “You Gon Hurt Me.”
“Sundown” begins another ramp-up for 21 Lil Harold, who enjoyed a banner year in 2023. In January, he released his third solo project, After The Curse, which sported Harold’s biggest single to date, “Ain’t On None,” featuring Slaughtergang head 21 Savage, which has generated over seven million Spotify streams to date. To kick off 2024, Harold made a brief appearance on Savage’s chart-topping american dream album, on the Lil Durk and Metro Boomin-featured “dangerous,” a reminder of the longstanding history between Harold and Savage, and the strength of their Slaughtergang brotherhood.
21 Lil Harold, who has spent the last three years building his reputation in and outside of Atlanta, is poised for a breakout. As Lyrical Lemonade puts it, Harold is “looking like the artist that has the necessary charisma, talent, and connections required to succeed in his cutthroat market,” and records like “Sundown” are indicators of why.
Stay tuned for more from 21 Lil Harold and Slaughtergang.
About 21 Lil Harold:
Atlanta native Lil Harold upped the ante on his already escalating career when he delivered the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed LARRY project in the Summer of 2022. While new cuts like “Good Times” with Migos’ Offset fanned the flames of the already hot project, it was Harold’s signature style that grabbed the attention of the world. As a protégé of 21 Savage and founding member of Slaughter Gang, Harold knows the story of the Atlanta streets all too well and effortlessly sets it to music. Raised on soulful greats like Aretha Franklin, Bobby Womack, Chaka Khan, and Marvin Gaye, mixed with the hip-hop of artists like Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliott, Harold is a master of conveying emotion in his songs while still reflecting his undeniable swag. His old soul is prominent on the aforementioned “Good Times” as the song interpolates the 1980 classic song “Take Your Time (Do It Right)” by S.O.S. Band, a callback to the musical era that inspired Harold the most. Prior to the re-up of LARRY, the original release was a gamechanger for Harold, as it not only signaled his Slaughter Gang arrival, but it showcased his unique storytelling that set him apart from other members of the crew. Tracks like “Savage,” “Down Bad,” and “Muffin (Freak Hoe)” with fellow ATL starlet Latto were proof of that.

Rap duo Rot Ken and 21 Lil Harold deliver in big ways when it comes to the music. So of course they had to keep the momentum going from their ‘Ginobili’ anthem by busting out the camera for their latest must-see video.
The duo light up a porch with their hard-hitting lyrics while taking moments to go back inside to unleash bars. Peep the details and keep scrolling to see them in action.
With a fiery flow and co-signs from some of the best in the game, Rot Ken is coming for the Georgia rap throne. Sharing a video for a melodic highlight from his recent Free Me mixtape, Ken mobs with Atlanta's 21 Lil Harold in "Ginobili." Created in collaboration with a long line of heavy-hitting producers, including JetsonMade and Neeko Baby of Spaceboy Productions, and Rio Leyva, Nico Baran, and Taz Taylor of Internet Money, "Ginobili" is a showcase for Ken's freewheeling flexes: "I bеat on the bag, I beat up her back/A studio junkie, I'm still in the lab." Lil Harold's halting drawl is the perfect complement to Ken's fast-talking styles, as the two rappers trade verses over hyperactive pianos and trampoline 808s. In the video, directed by Man Films, both rappers retreat to the outskirts of Atlanta to count their cash and spend quality time with a baddie.
"Ginobili" is the latest in a line of high quality visuals from Ken, most recently following the high-rolling clip for “Foreign.” The two Free Me videos continue the artist's triumphant , which launched earlier this month with his new video single, “Rollin.” Though Ken has been away for much of 2022, his presence has still been still heavily felt. In May, the 18-year-old artist shared Free Me, a 17-track project that showed his range, and demonstrated his singular ability to cut through immersive production with effervescent flows. The Augusta native's project featured underground hits like "Baby Choppa" (1.6 million Spotify streams), "Heartbreak Kid" (1.6 million Spotify streams), and "Beautiful," a collaboration with SoFaygo that racked up over 3.2 million Spotify streams. With additional appearances from Kalan.FrFr and Hunxho, Free Me is available everywhere now.
Signed to Internet Money Records, in partnership with JetsonMade's Spaceboy Productions, look for Ken to keep annihilating state-of-the-art production for many years to come. Stay tuned to watch the young rapper's rise.
