Video features Gunna and Wiz Khalifa
Tyla Yaweh begins his biggest year yet with the release of his supersonic new music video for “All The Smoke” featuring Gunna and Wiz Khalifa. The clip was directed by Chris Villa (Tyla, Post Malone) and launched last night (Thurs, Jan 7th) via a YouTube Premiere Livestream.
Initially released at the end of December, “All The Smoke” oozes with the realization of Tyla Yaweh’s potential. Praised by the likes of Complex, LA Weekly, Highsnobiety, Uproxx, HotNewHipHop, and more, with NME calling the track “explosive,” the snog is Tyla’s most anthem-ready release to-date. The official video crystalizes the energy of the track with the three artists unfolding a Fast & Furious-style adrenaline rush of a story.
The video sets the stage for his anticipated new album RAGER BØY, arriving soon via London Entertainment/Epic Records.
It should come as no surprise that the Orlando, FL-bred, LA-based artist is ready for his close-up. Despite the challenges of 2020, the last year was easily his most productive and successful year yet. He achieved his first Billboard Hot 100 hit with the Post Malone-featuring “Tommy Lee,” which has generated over 148 million streams to-date. His second single of the year, “Stuntin’ On You” featuring a scorching DaBaby, immediately followed and has generated over 66 million streams of its own thus far. Both tracks received special remixes, with SAINt JHN and Tommy Lee himself remixing “Tommy Lee,” and most recently DDG and Dame D.O.L.L.A. joining Yaweh on a new version of “Stuntin’ On You.” In addition, 2020 saw Yaweh receive his first two gold records, for “Tommy Lee” as well as his 2019 breakout “High Right Now,” taken from his debut project Heart Full Of Rage. Plus, he recently crossed half a billion career streams and made his television debut, performing “Tommy Lee” with Post Malone on the Billboard Music Awards.
In addition to his recent streaming prowess, “Stuntin’ On You” is to be featured within FOX Sports’ live sports franchises worldwide for all 2020-2021 seasons, while “Tommy Lee” appears on the latest edition of the wildly popular NBA 2K video game franchise.
Tyla Yaweh has been a major artist to watch, and as 2021 begins, he stands to reap the benefits of his meticulous growth. As Billboard notes, “Tyla Yaweh is undoubtedly on the precipice of stardom.”
