Rapper/producer Pell has shaped the brand new musical collective GLBL WRMNG with dozens of his fellow artists from New Orleans. Their debut album glbl wrmng vol. 1 is out February 19th, and right this moment they’ve shared the lead single, “501”.

GLBL WRMNG is an expansive venture, with contributions from dozens of producers and artists together with Jelly of Tank and The Bangas, Malik NinetyFive, Jzzle, Lil Iceberg, Kr3wcial, and $leazy EZ. That inclusivity is by design; Pell got down to foster connections within the NOLA songwriting group. As he defined in a press release,

“I needed to make information with all my hometown mates that didn’t need to be simply Pell information that might showcase the expertise of New Orleans and what we needed to provide. I needed to executively produce this document after which give us all one thing to name again on at any time when we had been on the highway or exterior of town in order that we may hold connecting and constructing collectively.”

Named for the phone space code of New Orleans, “504” is a love letter to GLBL WRMNG’s hometown. The beat lands with a thump, with deep bass drums set off with infectious hand claps. Pell raps of driving, “On the I-10 freeway cruising the place the view at/ Was on the west coast however u know a brother flew again.” Kr3wcial handles the anthemic hook, and $leazy EZ delivers an ode to town’s energetic flirting. The accompanying music video has the power of a block celebration and Mardi Gras’ vibrant colours. You may try that, in addition to the paintings and tracklist, beneath.
