Chicago’s Warhol.SS is one of the most skilled rhymers of the Soundcloud era, combining immersive trap-style beats and energetic ad-libs with an old-school sense of songwriting and slick lyricism. Chest Pains finds the 20-year-old coming to his own, unifying his experimental ideas and his commercial ambitions. Though the album boasts gorgeous production and infectious hooks, Warhol.SS imbues the project with heavy symbolism–with a title referring to his rough upbringing in Chicago and an album cover featuring bumble bees, reflecting Warhol’s status as the “last of a dying breed.”
It’s off his upcoming album, Chest Pains which will be out 11/14 via EMPIRE and features appearances from Trippie Redd, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Rico Nasty, UnoTheActivist, and Lil Duke, with production from the likes of Murda Beatz, Kenny Beats, Cashmoney AP, Harry Fraud, and more.
