[CLIENT] Meet W3alth

W3alth Profile Pic.jpg

Our most recent client W3alth, is a Houston based rapper and DC native. W3alth is an up-and-coming artist scheduled to release his debut EP, Bridges on July 26, 2019.  W3alth came to us for music production, design, and marketing services. The EP is produced entirely by Substantial, veteran, Lofi Hip-Hop MC, producer and SAM founder & co-CEO. 

W3alth released his first single, 17 & Oh on June 28, 2019. The track encompasses confidence and perseverance as W3alth proclaims, “No man stops me, gotta have an army”, over a sleek organ sample, hard hitting drums and pounding bass.

His second single, 92 Baby is his latest effort, where we find W3alth sounding very comfortable juggling flows and bars over a dirty, chopped piano loop while Paris based songstress, Alxya lends her melodic voice to the chorus. 92 Baby serves as an anthem for anyone that shares the birth year, while providing nostalgic vibes of golden era Hip-Hop with a modern twist. The cover art features a photo from 1992 of a 13 year old Substantial, carrying his nephew, W3alth who was only a few months old at the time.  The title Bridges is inspired by their observation of the ongoing disconnect between the young and older generation of Hip-Hop artists. Youthful swag with a golden era feel.

With our assistance, W3alth has seen an increase of 17,500+ in listeners, 24,000+ in streams and and 23% increase in followers on Spotify since June 2019.

Additionally, the 92 Baby single was recently featured on Spotify's Lofi Hip-Hop playlist.
