Veeze has just shared the deluxe version of his critically-acclaimed debut album Ganger. Adding five extra songs to the original tracklist, the deluxe is highlighted by a production credit from Surf Gang’s Evilgiane on “Luv The Tour“, as well as a continuous stream of Veeze‘s signature sludgy flows and animated bar work that finds him delivering a cannon of niche sports and pop culture references. “Why the fuck I’m smokin’ dope and ballin’, Lamar Odom / How you supposed to catch up if you keep on startin’ over / Why you never around everytime I need you, Paul George”, he raps on “Rich Rockstar”, while using a track like “Get Lucki” to reflect on his come-up and musical evolution while embracing the rockstar lifestyle.
Veeze dropped the highly-anticipated Ganger at the end of June this year, which was backed by one of the biggest rap songs of the year in “GOMD” (37M+ Streams) and its remix with Lil Uzi Vert. Serving as only Veeze’s second full-length release – after 2019’s Navy Wavy, Ganger was highlighted by other standout tracks like the anthemic “Not a Drill” (16M+ Streams) and “Safe 2”, quickly being met with critical acclaim from the upper echelon of music media like Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post and others. As an accumulation of Veeze’s artistic evolution across its original 21 songs with features from Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, LUCKI, Babyface Ray & Icewear Vezzo, Ganger finds Veeze fully committing to his signature syrupy flows and witty lyricism over an eclectic batch of beats. The Ganger Tour, which kicked off in front of a sold-out crowd in NY on 10/10, has other sold-out dates in LA, ATL, Detroit and more, with Anycia joining him as an opener.
