Detroit Hip-hop pillar Icewear Vezzo is in beast mode and while he is at it, he’s elevating his home state’s rap scene. Today Vezzo announced his mixtape Rich Off Pints (due May 21), which examines his origins and salutes the Detroit scene he helped foster. With the announcement, Vezzo also dropped “New Day,” a music video that puts a spin on the sample famously used in “Dipset Anthem.”
A hard-hitting music video produced by Detroit sound architect Helluva (known for his hits with Tee Grizzley and more), “New Day” brings together Vezzo and IUR Jetto (signed to Vezzo’s Iced Up Records). They trade streetwise verses, nonchalantly explaining why they stunt harder than their haters ever will while they sip from styrofoam cups as they show off the starry ceiling in their Rolls Royce and post up with homies in a liquor store parking lot.
In the upcoming Rich Off Pints mixtape, Vezzo takes pride in his role as a monumental figure in Detroit’s music scene, inviting some of the most exciting Michigan rappers to share the spotlight with him, including Rio Da Yung OG, Peezy, Louie Ray, and more, and rhyming over production from Detroit area sound architects like Max Beats and Michigan Meech. The project features dditional appearances from respected names like Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, EST Gee, Dreezy, BIG 30, and more.
