Drew Famous is an explosive prospect hailing from Roanoke, Virginia, a city three miles away from the birthplace of Chris Brown. His rap style has some commonalities with Twista and Machine Gun Kelly, two rapid-fire lyricists that carve up beats whenever they step into the booth. Where Drew differs is his commitment to ethereal yet soulful production, and an unpredictable vane that constantly draws into question where his influences come in.
On his new single “Heaven and Hell,” Drew discusses the ups and downs of the rap industry. The piano-driven instrumental, courtesy of 1995, is the perfect backdrop for Drew, and featured artist Kaleb Mitchell, to rap in endless lyrical circles, driving home the concepts of loyalty and self-acceptance in an industry full of fakes.
“Heaven and Hell” is the latest single from Drew’s upcoming project “800DASH,” set to hit the internet on Friday, May 25.
