Track appears on EST Gee’s debut album
Louisville rap star EST Gee and Machine Gun Kelly release the explosive video for “Death Around The Corner.” The unrelenting collaboration is one of the hardest-hitting tracks on I Never Felt Nun, EST Gee’s celebrated debut album.
The 21-track project, which is EST Gee’s third Top 10 project in under a year – debuted at No. 1 of Billboard’s Top Rap Albums Chart and No. 8 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart. The album features Future, Bryson Tiller, Jezzy and Jack Harlow.
“Death Around The Corner” illustrates why EST Gee has become one of the hottest names in rap. “I’ma take your life or you take mine, every single time,” he spits. “I can’t change my mind, the love I used to have been left behind.” MGK adds an equally poignant verse, declaring: “I lost all of my emotions the minute I watched my father die in front of me.” Together, EST Gee and MGK underline how traumatic situations often harden and transform people.
The video matches the gritty nature of the song. Though the artists rock vastly different styles, they both bring an undeniable swagger to the cinematic visual.
Prior to I Never Felt Nun, EST Gee was heard on Gangsta Art — a CMG compilation featuring the label’s all-star roster. Earlier this year, he also teamed up with 42 Dugg for “Last Ones Left,” which was met with critical acclaim. Over the past few years, EST Gee has become one of the most exciting rappers in the industry. His 2021 mixtape, Bigger Than Life or Death, reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and captured the No. 1 spot on Apple’s All-Genre chart.
I Never Felt Nun was preceded by four singles — the Future collaboration “Shoot It Myself,” “Blood,” “Love Is Blind,” and “Hell” — each of which showcases EST Gee’s incisive, compelling approach to rap. With the arrival of the gripping visual for “Death Around The Corner,” EST Gee proves he’s a superstar on the mic and in front of the camera.
