The song appears on Gashi’s upcoming sixth studio album
Multi-platinum recording artist and Orca Sound Records founder Gashi gears up to release his new full-length studio album, The Killah Whales of Gotham, due this spring. Ahead of the project, Gashi continues to stake his claim as one of today’s most eclectic emcees, joining forces with longtime collaborator G-Eazy on the anthemic “Rings.”
“‘Rings’ was built for the Knicks — that was the whole vibe,” Gashi says. “I had G-Eazy in mind from the jump. He’s like a brother to me, and since he’s from the Bay, I thought we were heading for a Knicks vs. Warriors Finals. I wanted them to have something they could pop bottles to if they took the chip. The wild part? The whole idea came from my brother Matt. He’s the real mastermind — I just ran the play.”
In the months leading up to the single release, Gashi posted a teaser video of “Rings” to Instagram, which racked up over one million views and thousands of shares. The short clip sees Gashi making a surprise appearance during G-Eazy’s set in Toronto as part of his 2025 Helium Tour, delighting audiences by joining the multi-platinum rapper on stage to perform their new collaboration. The accompanying video is spliced with footage from that unforgettable night as Gashi and G-Eazy bring the energy of the song to life.
“Rings” is more than the latest addition to Gashi’s already impressive discography. It’s a powerful representation of his cultural impact extending beyond the booth and into the world of sports. It also marks Gashi and G-Eazy’s first collaboration in the past six years. When two rap giants come together to celebrate two of the world’s biggest intersections, the end result is something major. As Gashi leans into his deep-rooted affinity for sports, he channels a winner’s mindset and revels in victory with basketball bars: “The city came out but you know we going in / Pop champagne ‘cause you know we gon’ win / Jordan game six my cigars all lit / Cut the net off that rim, now give me my rings, my rings, my rings.”
Earlier this month, Gashi joined Grammy-nominated producer and artist DJ Snake on stage to perform their joint single “Paris,” at the iconic Stade de France, to a sold-out arena. The unexpected performance further solidified GASHI’s position as a dynamic and influential force on an international scale. Adding to his recent highlights, the one-night-only appearance drew over 100,000 fans for a record-breaking concert at one of France’s biggest venues.
