DMV ROYALTY FOGGIERAW AND ARI LENNOX SHARE NEW SINGLE “STAY AWHILE”

Repping the DMV as loudly and lovingly as possible, acclaimed rapper and elite storyteller Foggieraw recruits GRAMMY® Award-nominated R&B phenomenon and fellow hometown hero Ari Lennox for a slick and sultry new single and music video entitled “Stay Awhile” out now via Mercury Records. It notably marks the first collaboration between these powerhouse talents.

The production threads ethereal acoustic guitar through an organic drum beat. Against this sparse backdrop, Foggieraw leans into a laidback and confident flow punctuated by unfiltered emotion. The momentum builds as Lennox carries an anthemic chorus, “Stay awhile, don’t be rude.” It climaxes on a showstopping display of her towering high register.

Emerging with his unmistakable visual aesthetic, Foggieraw takes the helm in directing the official music video for “Stay Awhile.” Witness nothing short of DMV royalty as he and Ari Lennox shine like celestial beings, seamlessly transitioning from scenes reminiscent of the 90s Tommy Hilfiger era to regal portrayals as kings and queens adorned in traditional African garments. The music video captivates viewers, evoking a warm sense of familiarity and palpable energy between Foggieraw and Ari Lennox.

Right now, Foggieraw is infiltrating every corner of the culture. This month New Balance unveiled their latest campaign with him as a face of the 990v6 which is extremely significant given the shoe’s popularity in his hometown. He just delivered a showstopping performance at the Chicago Bulls’ first “Club Red” post-game concert, which took over the United Center’s private Concert Club. Expanding his creative arsenal yet again, he notably directed and starred in Summer Walker’s “Drown In My Love” music video which gained over 12 million views across socials.

 “Stay Awhile” lands in the wake of “Destiny.” Beyond generating millions of streams, it earned plugs from Rolling Out, Global Grind, and more. WONDERLAND raved, “what a strong start for the year it is. A star on the rise, Foggieraw establishes himself as an A-class storyteller, standing out as a force of his generation, merging his soulful lyrics with an extremely polished eye for his visual creations.” EBONY applauded how “He returns with a new single, showcasing his lyrical prowess and solidifying his position as an artist to watch.” Perhaps HotNewHipHop put it best, “He’s back with another single where he steps into his greatness.”

Foggieraw continues to gain extensive traction with tens of millions of streams and views. Capping off a busy 2023, Swizz Beatz tapped him for his BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher. He has attracted high-profile co-signs from Alicia Keys, SZA, Stormzy, Anderson.Paak, Benny Blanco, Ari Lennox, Tierra Whack, and more. At the same time, he has infiltrated the fashion world. He walked in Milan Fashion Week for Pharrell’s Moncler Fall/Winter ’23 collection and appeared in campaigns for Nike Yardrunners and Sergio Tecchini.
