NETTSPEND DROPS “who tf is u” VIDEO OFF NEW ALBUM “early life crisis”

18-year-old rap phenom and underground scene leader Nettspend drops the music video for “who tf is u”. It follows the release of his feverishly anticipated new album, early life crisis, a gloriously chaotic set of blistering sounds, brash lyrics, and magnetic charisma. The 21-song project features collaborations with YoungBoy Never Broke Again and OsamaSon, and production by CXO , Rok (Playboi Carti, Future), and Cranes among others.

Embodying the album’s brazen spirit, “who tf is you” is gleefully confrontational in every way. Bit-crushed drum explosions and glittering splats of melody roil beneath Nettspend’s voice, which both blends with and pierces through the burbling digital chaos. He pours out an impressionistic slurry of brags and sneers, taking aim at critics and haters with lines like, “Can’t you see how long I’m lastin’? I don’t need no practice / Intercept this bat, come catch this.”

The “who tf is you” music video bursts with exactly the kind of freewheeling teenage mayhem that the track feels made for. Directed by Kai Cranmore (OsamaSon, RJ Pasin) and shot in the snowy woods of Nettspend’s home state of Virginia, the cinematic visual finds him with a female companion and some corpse-painted friends. They shoot off fireworks, throw snowballs, do donuts, set fires, and obliterate mailboxes with a spiked bat from the bed of a pickup truck.

early life crisis drops in the wake of Nettspend’s massive Milan Fashion Week debut — where he walked for Gucci and made headlines in Teen Vogue (“Nettspend Delayed His Album, but His Gucci Walk Will Tide You Over”), Vogue (“Demna’s Next Generation of Gucci It Kids”), and GQ (“The Internet Rap Boys Enter the House of Gucci”), not to mention landed mentions and photos in countless other outlets including The New York Times, W Magazine, and Complex.
