(NEW YORK, NY — July 19, 2024) – Baltimore-bred hip-hop pillar Pyrex has just dropped his new single and music video, 'Wat im On." This melodic anthem, which showcases his ascent as an artist, producer, and budding star, is a glimpse into his forthcoming project, 'Sincerely, Rex,' due later this year. Stream "Wat im On" on all digital streaming platforms and watch the official music video below.
"Wat im On" is a celebration of Pyrex's journey and the spoils that come with it. Known for crafting Southern and trap anthems, Pyrex integrates melody into his track, delivering a mesmerizing chorus and perfectly in-pocket verses. The visuals capture him two-stepping in a photo studio and floating on the hood of a car, inviting viewers into his element as he puts them in a trance with his latest record.
Pyrex's momentum began in the mid-2010s when his friend Metro Boomin introduced him to Southside, the head of the 8080 Mafia production group. Over the last 15 years, 808 Mafia has worked with major artists like Future, Young Thug, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Travis Scott. During his formative years, Pyrex has reshaped the sound of Southern trap, influencing the direct of pop music. This experience allowed him to craft records from diverse perspectives, incorporating varying sonic approaches.
In 2020, Pyrex released 'Blood On The Hills,' his first EP as a vocalist. The popular title track, co-produced with Southside, gave audiences a taste of his range as a vocalist. Since then, Pyrex has continued to evolve, introducing changes of pace, theme, and tone across several projects and singles.
"Wat im On" is the next feather in Pyrex's hat, with the upcoming 'Sincerely, Rex' setting into motion the next chapter of his career. This project reaffirms his status as one of the most dynamic creators in hip-hop, blending surrealistic production, unfiltered emotion, and disembodied melodies.
As his name suggests, Pyrex is a master of the cook-up. Since emerging as a member of the legendary 808 Mafia in the late 2010s, the Grammy-winning producer-artist has crafted engrossing soundscapes for artists like Young Thug and 21 Savage, reconfiguring the trap music imagination. With his new solo project, Sincerely, Rex, Pyrex oscillates between aural trap and cosmic rock, exploring every emotion with finesse and visceral power.
Stylish and mesmerizing, "Wat im On" is the soundtrack to a spaceship joyride. Grafting his lithe vocals onto a best of astral synths and pummeling 808s, Pyrex lays out a tale of a hard-earned come-up and the rewards that extend beyond the cosmos. The track and the project itself are the latest steps in an artistic journey that has spanned over 13 years. Having produced since he was just 14, Pyrex is one of the most sought-after young producers in the industry.
After Metro Boomin introduced him to Southside, Pyrex became a member of 808 Mafia, solidifying his status as an innovative staple of modern hip-hop. In 2020, he parlayed his momentum with Blood on the Hills, a debut EP that merges his expressive vocals with sleekly sinister production. While it earned positive feedback, Pyrex believes Sincerely, Rex will be his breakthrough. "This is going to be the one that gives me a lot of momentum," he says. After years in the kitchen, Sincerely Rex feels like his most potent recipe yet.
With "What im On" and Sincerely Rex, Pyrex is set t solidify his place in the hip-hop world. Don't miss out on what's next from this rising star.
