Comethazine – Bawskee 2

Racking up hundreds of millions of streams with bite-sized bursts of pure energy, East St. Louis native Comethazine grows more popular by the hour. Bursting back onto the scene with a collection of blown-out bangers, Comethazine shares Bawskee 2, his latest mixtape. A torrent of high-tempo and electric rap tracks that rarely surpass the two-minute mark, Bawskee 2 refines and expands Comethazine’s winning formula, building hooks around witty boasts and snarling delivery: “First name Benjamin, last name Counter/Pull up with this motherfuckin’ tec, fuck a bouncer.” Complementing his neon aesthetic with distorted and alien production from the likes of Divanand, Trillogy, Nyombo, and others, Bawskee 2 is a tour-de-force of aggressive and succinct rhyming, designed to make you punch through the roof of your car. The follow-up to 2018’s highly successful Bawskee, home to Comethazine’s breakout single “Bands” (34.7 million Spotify streams, 20 million SoundCloud plays, 19.5 million YouTube views) and the rapidly rising radio single “Walk” (34.8 million Spotify streams), Bawskee 2 arrives on January 11th via Alamo/Interscope.

Featuring the new basketball-referencing single “DeMar DeRozan” (1.1 million YouTube views, 2 million SoundCloud plays), Bawskee 2 arrives just in time for Comethazine’s headlining “Bawskee 2 Tour.” The tour kicked off in Dallas on January 10th and features support from Lil Gnar, JayDaYoungan, and TNT Tez. Stopping at NYC’s Gramercy Theatre on January 27th, the “Bawskee 2 Tour” is a prime opportunity for fans to turn up to the tracks from the new album and other singles like the recently released “High Riser,” which has over 1 million Spotify plays since its mid-November release. Comethazine is now a “First Alert” artist on SiriusXM’s HipHopNation, where “Walk” is currently on heavy rotation.
