Jaah SLT made it clear he was not one to f*ck with in his viral hit “Tuff”. Now as he gears up for the release of 9-25-20 on September 25th, his second project of 2020, the North Carolina native is echoing that statement with his latest video and single “Grimey”.

The video, which opens with a red-handed twist to the film The Ring IMO, warns Jaah’s opposition to stay far away, exuding confidence but hinting at paranoia beneath the bluster. As the video progresses, Jaah hides out in an abandoned warehouse, threatens to cut his dreads, and mobs in a North Carolina backyard with guest rapper Sleep Walkin SLT. The video follows Jaah’s clip for 9-25-20 single “Out Of My Body,“ which has over 100k views since its late-August release.
Spanning 10 energetic and hypnotic trap tracks, 9-25-20 finds the 20-year-old rapper showing off his athletic rhymes, stacking boasts together in sing-song cadences as he slices through monster movie instrumentals. Featuring appearances from SLT crewmembers Sleep Walkin SLT, Nsikan SLT, and Loweye SLT, 9-25-20 arrives on September 25th via Alamo Records.
Jaah SLT is in the midst of a break out year, riding a wave of momentum in the wake of “Tuff,” his biggest hit to date. The Brelly Beats-produced anti-police turn-up anthem recently crossed the 1 million view threshold on YouTube, and reached the Spotify’s US Viral 50 chart and Rolling Stone‘s Breakthrough 25 chart in May. Released in September 2019, “Tuff” experienced a slow-and-steady rise, eventually catching fire on TikTok (nearly 300k video creations) and making its way to urban radio in North Carolina. This summer, Jaah has treated his fans to a series of quality singles, including “Same Me” and “Dottin Up,” which earned a premiere in Lyrical Lemonade and racked up over 350k views on YouTube. The follow-up to 2-7-2020, an energetic 7-track EP, 9-25-20 is the next step on Jaah’s journey towards becoming North Carolina’s next rap star.
