Kickstarting another bold era, rising Atlanta rapper Lil Tony Official unleashes the frenetic music video for his single “Les Duski” out now via Priority Records. Watch HERE. It remains a standout from his fan favorite 2023 mixtape 2 Sides 2 Every Story out now. Listen HERE.
Helmed by director and frequent collaborator Public Goat, the visual channels the spirit of classic horror flicks. A sign warns, “No trespassing, we’re tired of hiding the bodies,” as the camera zooms in on splattered blood, rusty chains, a freaky little skeleton, and a severed head—among other gothic accoutrements and totems. Meanwhile, he spits pure fire in the center of a room lined with plastic wrap for a Dexter-style climax. Lil Tony murders the intense and skittering beat as he reminds, “I’m way too good, and I can’t lose.” He backs those words up…
Simultaneously, 2 Sides 2 Every Story has already amassed over 5 million total streams and counting highlighted by the likes of “Canoozled,” “Swag,” “Times Table,” and more.
2 Sides 2 Every Story follows a ceaseless year of music from Lil Tony Official. “Canoozled” has gained over 900K plays on its music video, with Pitchfork naming it the “the must-hear rap song of the day.” Earlier in November, he dropped the thrilling single “Looseleaf,” which has the minimal moodiness of a horror flick. He’s put out three tapes this year showcasing his range and hustle, including the relentless TKEY back in May and the more contemplative, melodic project For Mia.
Lil Tony shows no signs of stopping or slowing down though. Get ready for more!
