Last week, teen rap breakout Nettspend has released his long-awaited new album, early life crisis, a 21-track project packed with abrasive production, brash lyricism and the chaotic energy that has fueled his rise in the underground rap scene. The album includes collaborations with YoungBoy Never Broke Again and OsamaSon and arrives alongside a music video for the explosive single “who tf is you,” directed by Kai Cranmore and filmed in Nettspend’s home state of Virginia.
The project lands shortly after the 18-year-old made headlines during Milan Fashion Week, where he walked in a Gucci show and drew attention from outlets including Vogue, GQ and Teen Vogue. early life crisis was previewed through a series of online teasers and captures the tension of a generation entering adulthood under pressure, channeling anxiety, rebellion and youthful chaos through Nettspend’s high-energy delivery.
Musically, the album blends distorted rap vocals with aggressive digital production, pulling from a roster of producers including CXO, Rok and Cranes. Tracks like “masked up,” which features YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and “pain talk” with OsamaSon highlight the project’s mix of heavy bass, glitchy synths and melodic moments. As Nettspend’s cult-like fanbase continues to grow, early life crisis positions the young artist as one of the most polarizing and talked-about voices emerging from the internet rap scene.
