December 16, 2022 — (Chattanooga, TN) — Today, Tennessee rapper Slatt Zy returns with the funk-inflected, diaristic flex “ Head Gone .” Listen HERE via Capitol Records .

In some ways, Slatt’s new single is a statement of intent. “Ball until I die, I want diamonds on my tombstone,” he raps as guitar vamps and piano runs twinkle in the background. Later on, the 20-year-old points to the motivating factor for his hustle, underlining why all the long nights in the studio are worth it: “I come from poverty, you put that bag in front I’m gonna get it.” Unfiltered and raw, “ Head Gone ” finds Slatt coming to terms with his rising stardom in real time.
“Head Gone” continues an astounding run of stellar cuts from Slatt , who drops the song on the heels of “ Life Is Crazy .” The young rapper first broke through in 2021 with songs like “ No Respect ” and “ Feel It in My Soul. ” More recently, “ Lean On ” has amassed more than 1.9 million video views, while “ Don’t You Fold ” has crossed the million mark too. Both tracks capture the newcomer’s deepest lows and unlikeliest triumphs, continuing the no-holds-barred approach that began in 2020 with Zy Story and East Lake Projects .
With critical acclaim from Lyrical Lemonade , EARMILK , HotNewHipHop , FLOOD Magazine and more, Slatt has established a reputation as one of the hottest new MCs in the game. Song by song, he shares postcards from a world that’s difficult to face, and even harder to look away from. With “ Head Gone ,” those same ideas animate his verses, but on occasion, he also allows himself time to celebrate the immense joy of his meteoric rise.
