Listen HERE.
This time around in a vintage-styled black and white visualizer, Foggieraw flaunts his vibrancy and versatility front-and-center. A funky strut sets the tempo anchored by head-nodding 808s. Meanwhile, he exudes confidence on the hook as he observes, “I’m on a crash course headed to destiny.” When he promises, “If I die, I’m a legend most definitely,” you can’t help but believe him!
Last year, he landed with the potent one-two punch of The Foggie Pound 3 two-pack, comprising the singles “Psalm 62” and “Ms. Johnson.” The former notably flipped the Alicia Keys classic “You Don’t Know My Name.” Making history, “Psalm 62” would be the first time the iconic songstress ever cleared a sample usage of the track. Right out of the gate, it amassed over 6 million streams and counting.
Plus, he gathered widespread acclaim. Billboard named “Psalm 62” among “R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week,” and Complex raved, “He navigates his wordplay with the precision of a master craftsman, deploying bars and punchlines that are engrossingly descriptive, unsuspectingly witty, and exude an aura of effortless charm.” UPROXX professed, “It’s only a matter of time until Foggieraw makes the leap from social media favorite to genuine superstar.”
Foggieraw continues to gain major traction with tens of millions of streams and views. Capping off a busy 2023, Swizz Beatz tapped him for his BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher. He has attracted high-profile co-signs from SZA, Stormzy, Anderson.Paak, Benny Blanco, Ari Lennox, Tierra Whack, and more. At the same time, he has infiltrated the fashion world. He walked in Milan Fashion Week for Pharrell’s Moncler Fall/Winter ’23 collection and appeared in a campaign for Sergio Tecchini.
Right now, he’s preparing more music for release very soon. Stay tuned!
When Foggieraw raps, it’s like watching a film in your mind. The production acts as the score, while his words double as dialogue and narration. He’ll bring you into the moment with uncanny attention-to-detail and no shortage of twists and turns. It’s why the DMV-raised rapper, artist, performer, and poet has quietly entrenched himself in his own corner of the culture with tens of millions of streams and A-list support. Following his birth in the United States, he relocated to Ghana where he resided with his dad. At five-years-old, he returned to Prince George’s County, Maryland. While in college he began to freestyle with his roommates and initially gained traction with “30 and 10,” paving the way for his The Foggie Pound EP. Settling in Los Angeles, 2018 saw him unleash the independent debut LP, Fogtavious Vandross. It yielded the fan favorite “U Can’t Be My Baby,” reeling in 6 million streams and counting. In 2021, he served up The Foggie Pound 2 EP, boasting collaborations with Tobi Nwigwe and Royce Da 5’9”. Along the way, he incited critical acclaim. COMPLEX raved, “Foggieraw is making bright, colorful rap music with an effortless style,” while Uproxx highlighted his “unique” and “freewheeling” style. His peers also reacted as he earned co-signs courtesy of SZA, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, Tierra Whack, Jessie Reyez, Ari Lennox, and Lena Waithe, to name a few. His vision crystallized on the two-pack The Foggie Pound 3, garnering acclaim from Complex, Billboard, and OnesToWatch and generating millions of streams on “Psalm 62.” Now, he turns the page on his next chapter with the 2024 single “Destiny” and more to come.
