Tae Guap Roams A Soulful Beat On “Ride With Da Stick”

This past December, Tae Guap released his debut full-length album, Rookie Of Day Year, with 12 buzzing hip-hop tracks that showcase his dizzying style. Recently, the local MC re-visited that album, recording a new music video for one of the album’s stand-out tracks, the roving assertion “Ride With Da Stick.”

Built on a glitzy sample that’s spliced around a roaming beat, the song finds Tae Guap laying out his game plan for personal and professional success while switching between lyric discharges and melodic trills. The video, shot by the Sniper Vision group, features Guap reflecting and posturing in a desolate alleyway, looking for answers in isolation and inspiration while hanging with friends.

Tae Guap first burst onto the scene in 2021 with “Ideas,” a warbling track built on a chirping electronic melody. The following here, he released the singles “All On U,” “NoAuto3,” and “Slime Up A Rack,” with the latter two making their way onto Rookie Of Day Year at the close of the year. No new music yet in 2023 from the whirring MC, but it’s only a matter of time before his voice erupts again on a new release.
