LIL ZAY OSAMA RELEASES NEW SINGLE “STRANDED;” ‘4 THE TRENCHES’ MIXTAPE ARRIVES AUG. 18TH
FEATURES LIL DURK, 2RARE, ROB49, AND COSHA TG
Drumming up widespread buzz throughout the culture, burgeoning star Lil Zay Osama unveils a captivating and catchy new single entitled “Stranded” out now via Warner Records. It bulldozes the way for his anticipated forthcoming mixtape, 4 The Trenches, due on August 18th.
The track layers lithe guitar above the melancholic piano, building a deep and dynamic sonic backdrop. Meanwhile, he leans into the beat with his signature woozy, yet emotionally charged vocals. As always, he bleeds raw feelings through the refrain.
At the same time, the accompanying visual projects this vibe on-screen in a cinematic fashion. It evokes themes of isolation as Zay raps to the camera alone inside of an ornate old mansion now under construction. He walks through halls wrapped in plastic and into a foyer as he doles out each bar with conviction underneath the light of a chandelier. It stands out as his most introspective video to date.
It lands on the heels of “Got It No Mo.”Listen HERE and watch HERE. The latter has just started to pick up traction on streaming platforms in addition to earning critical acclaim. GRUNGECAKE recently hailed him as “a songwriter whose not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, be in touch with vulnerability, share his truth and insecurities.”
Get ready for Zay to tell the next chapter of his story loud and clear on 4 The Trenches…
“Got It No Mo” arrived in the wake of a 2023 hot streak of tracks that has reminded those same fans how consistent and prolific the Chicago native can be. Notably on the forthcoming mixtape is “Can’t Come Back From That,” which has amassed over 1.3M views on YouTube to date. This year alone, Zay has dropped the sequel to Trench Baby 3’s “Glah Glah,” the drill cut “Humble,” the heart-felt “Had Nun,” and “Never Want to Be Them, Pt. 2,” a duet with the Bronx star Sha EK. With the imminent release of 4 The Trenches, Zay looks to further establish himself as one of Chicago’s most honest, evocative voices in music today.
