Rowdy Rebel had been waiting a long time for this. Following a six-year prison sentence, the Brooklyn lyricist has made a quick comeback by providing his devoted fans with a multitude of singles and collaborations.
Rowdy Rebel returned back into the music scene on June 15th with the release of his eagerly anticipated debut album, “Rebel vs. Rowdy.” New York natives A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and veteran Jadakiss are featured in the video for “New York,” which is meant as a homage anthem tributes to Rowdy’s birthplace.
The album’s 17 songs include Fivio Foreign on the drill-inspired anthem “Paid Off,” where he swears his allegiance to the industry and Dreezy on “Married To The Streets”. Drizzy Juliano and Kamikaze Kai, who also featured on “Shinin,” are additional guests. Along with French Montana on “Master P”.
The rappers take over New York City and ride the MTA together during the video, which was directed by G Train Productions. The three rappers describe their triumphs and struggles over a heavy beat supported by high energy drum rhythm, which they simply link to their rough, New York-raised mentality. Fabolous, Don Q, and Fat Joe made guest appearances in the video as well. You can see all three of them Fat Joe, Fabolous, Don Q, and others on the metro and in well-known areas throughout the music video.
