Joe West, an emerging hip-hop sensation, artist, and model, unveils a dynamic and entrancing new single titled “TOTM” now available via Akademy Records/Uptown Records/Republic Records.
The track masterfully layers blistering synths over a suspenseful beat accentuated by sizzling hi-hats. Joe delivers a blazing flow at a dizzying speed.

This release notably succeeds the recent hit “Switch” [feat. A Boogie wit da Hoodie]. Besides accumulating millions of streams and counting, HipHopEargasm praised it as a “melodic masterpiece,” while 24Hip-Hop confirmed, “West has rapidly ascended into the spotlight.”
Furthermore, “Switch” debuted following “Uno.” The latter notably made its way into the daily rotation on “Fortnite Radio,” reaching an audience of 350 million registered users.
After receiving endorsements from the likes of A$AP Rocky and others, Joe recently opened for Soulja Boy on a series of East Coast dates on the “SOULJAWORLD” Tour. He shared the stage in Maine with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
