Jay Rock & Ab-Soul: The Top Dawg Ent. legends double up for 'Blowfly' visualizer

Jay Rock. Ab-Soul. Lyricism. You bet. The hip-hop pair link up and deliver their signature sounds to the must-hear new ‘Blowfly’ single and while a music video is vital, a visualizer gets you in the mood just as much.

The pair showcase their sounds and power when they double up on the same tune. Peep the details and get caught up in the eye-catching flexing.

GRAMMY(R) winning rapper and West Coast artist, Jay Rock has released a brand-new track called “Blowfly.” A full TDE affair, the song was produced by in-house producer Kal Banx and features fellow TDE rapper Ab-Soul — listen HERE via Top Dawg Entertainment/Interscope Records. A track dripping in poignancy, Jay Rock effortlessly paints a picture of Watts life while Ab-Soul punches in with the hook giving the track an infectious head nodding element. The song’s title is borrowed from the moniker of infamous rapper and performer, Blowfly, made famous by actor Clarence Reid.

Jay Rock has been consistently dropping offerings including the recently released freestyle, “Ambition,” “Eastside” and “Too Fast (Pull Over)” — the latter of which features Latto and Anderson .Paak and currently warming up radio airwaves across the country.

The new offerings come five years after Redemption, the 2018 album that confirmed Jay Rock’s status as one of the sharpest observers and most uncompromising storytellers to emerge from California in his generation. Songs from that album earned him three of his four Grammy nominations: Best Rap Song for both “WIN” and his Kendrick Lamar, Future, and James Blakecollaboration “King’s Dead,” which took home the trophy in the Best Rap Performance category and has garnered over 2.5 billion global streams and counting. “King’s Dead” was also featured on Black Panther: The Album, the widely acclaimed soundtrack to the 2018 box office hit Black Panther.

Prior to 2018, Rock’s status was already unquestionable in the West. More than a decade before then, he signed a major label deal and scored a hit with the Lil Wayne — and will.i.am-assisted “All My Life (In the Ghetto).” He then landed on XXL’s coveted Freshman cover and helped spearhead TDE’s takeover of the hip-hop world. His first two albums, 2011’s Follow Me Home and 2015’s 90059, each rank among the grittiest, most acclaimed street rap albums of the century so far.

Jaw-dropping much? Look no further than what both Doechii and SZA are serving up with Labor Day weekend officially on deck. Their new ‘Persuasive’ music video slaps and the song itself just hits different.

The video for “Persuasive” with SZA made its global broadcast premiere today on MTV Live, MTVU, Yo! MTV and BET Soul & BET Jams, as well as on the Paramount+ Times Square billboards.

"I created “Persuasive” to uplift people and bring communities together, so having SZA jump on the song was a perfect fit because I’ve always connected with others over her music,” says Doechii. “Knowing that SZA is with TDE was what originally got me most excited about being on this label, so now that we have a song together it’s a full-circle moment. She really ATE! This collaboration is everything I always imagined it to be."

she / her / black bitch cements the Tampa native as a distinct voice whose versatile talents range from quick-fire bars to seductive singing. On the EP Doechii outlines different layers of her life experience: from villainous to confident to soft and sad, and to overall proving that she matters. As NPR stated “Doechii reclaims and spits back at anyone who dares to diminish her power.”

Doechii has dominated since the release of her unwaveringly original EPs—2020’s Oh the Places You’'ll Go, featuring the viral smash “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake,” and 2021’s BRA-LESS. The XXL Freshman was tapped just this year as an ‘Artist to Watch’ in Rolling Stone, NPR, Vulture, Complex, Uproxx, Pigeons and Planes, FADER, and more. Doechii performed on both The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and on the mainstage on the BET Awards. She was also chosen as the RADAR US Cover Artist at Spotify; the VEVO DSCVR Artist for June; the BET Artist of the Month; MTV’s Push Artist for July; and Billboard crowned her both ‘Artist of the Month’ and a ‘Queer Game-Changer.’ Doechii’s record “Persuasive” also made Obama’s Summer playlist.
