Having been bubbling as a mixtape king in the streets of Pittsburgh several years prior to joining Wiz Khalifa on the Waken Baken tour in 2010, Chevy Woods‘ legacy is well-renowned in his hometown as he’s continued to make waves abroad with the Taylor Gang. “Now That I’m Up” follows Woods‘ SXSW I Love Texas EP, which he released during the week of the festival, and his Gangland 3 mixtape, which released at the top of the year.
Co-produced by fellow Pittsburgher Sledgren and Chicagoan RMB Justize, the trunk-rattling trap beat for “Now That I’m Up” compliments Chevy Woods‘ boastful auto-tuned raps. Filmed just south of Pittsburgh, blue and red coloring detach Woods from the grayscale backgrounds of a construction yard and vintage car garage, which bares a TGOD graffiti tag.
