Louisville native Est Gee kicks off the new year with a new single – “My Love” featuring Veeze and Rylo Rodriguez via CMG/Interscope Records.
As “My Love” kicks off with a looped soul vocal, Est Gee immediately transports listeners into his world: “Picking up my son from kindergarten with my pistol still / He know to buckle up, keep his feet in front while I watch the mirror.” His flow remains impeccable as he unfurls the narrative — a mix of personal history, local landmarks, and wisdom. Throughout the track Rylo and Veeze pick up the themes, adding their trials and triumphs.
The rapper continues to awe fans and critics alike by authentically, unflinchingly documenting day-to-day life in his hometown with a rumbling, deadpan style that pairs perfectly with various strains of trap-infused Southern rap. He closed out 2024 with the painfully real “RIP Lu Mike,” dedicated to a friend, collaborator, and signee to his Young Shiners label who tragically died last year. That emotional tribute followed two November singles: “Go,” a driving but grim broadcast from Louisville’s underbelly, and “The Streets,” which conversely plays as a glitzy, upbeat celebration of survivorship.
All of this follows a busy 2023 in which EST Gee not only released two, charting mixtapes — the gritty, pain-powered Mad and his stylistically diverse victory lap El Toro 2 — but also featured heavily on CMG’s door-kicking Gangsta Art 2 compilation alongside labelmates/collaborators like Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, GloRilla, and Mozzy, plus legendary Collective Music Group label boss Yo Gotti himself.
