OMB Peezy and Trap Dickey Unite For “What She Wants”, an Effortlessly Fly Banger Featuring a Sample of “No Scrubs”
OMB Peezy Continues to Mine His Personal Musical History, Following Up His Heart-Wrenching, Fray-Sampling “Save Your Life” by Switching the Vibe and Putting His Own Spin on TLC’s 1999 Classic
Since emerging onto the rap scene as a teenaged firebrand, OMB Peezy has built a reputation for using his fast-paced flows to elucidate his raw emotions. The versatile rapper keeps his hot streak going on the road to his upcoming album Save Yourself, releasing “What She Wants,” his searing new single. Featuring a sample of TLC’s classic “No Scrubs,” tastefully flipped by Platinum-selling producer Chopsquad DJ, the song is a collaboration with South Carolina-born TDE rapper Trap Dickey. Pitching up the iconic chorus of the original song into chipmunk register and re-harmonizing with a sumptuous bass line and dramatic piano chords, “What She Wants” finds Peezy and Dickey demonstrating why they’re the kind of bosses who baddies want to be with: “If yo b*tch don’t want you bossed up, you gotta go find someone harder,” spits Peezy. In the video, Peezy and Dickey clean up nice, hosting a crew of models at their mansion for some poolside festivities.
“What She Wants” is the latest step on the road to Save Yourself, OMB Peezy’s upcoming album. His first full-length to be released since partnering his Overkill Records with Sparta Distribution, upcoming album showcases a veteran’s perspective on the rap game, incorporating lessons learned as he’s grown to become a respected presence in his native south and his adopted home of Northern California. Last month, Peezy released the album’s first single, “Save Your Life,” which interpolated The Fray’s Diamond-selling “How To Save A Life.” The song is a showcase of the artist’s expressive vocals, with lyrics that gain power from his soulful drawl and raw nerve emotion. Peezy takes off over softly plunked piano chords, his rapidfire flows providing the percussion on the drumless track. Stay tuned for many more announcements about Save Yourself, due to release in the coming weeks.
Repping both the West and Gulf Coasts, OMB Peezy has been one of the most unique voices in rap since emerging in 2017, mixing his Southern drawl and instinctive melodics with NorCal flows and slang. The 28-year-old artist has released ten solo and collaborative albums, including 2021’s Too Deep For Tears, home to the remix to his GOLD single “Big Homie,” and most recently, Drifting Away, which dropped earlier this year. Peezy got an unexpected boost in late 2024 when his 2017, Drum Dummie-produced breakout hit “Lay Down” went viral on TikTok, generating over 150k video creations and inspiring a dance popular with the youngest generation. The revived success of “Lay Down” inspired a new remix, featuring GloRilla in late 2024. In 2025, Peezy dropped Diary of a Crashout, and its Deluxe, bringing collaborations with YFN Lucci, Anycia, Kocky Ka, Vory, and more. Most recently, Peezy kept the streets hot with BETTER AND BETTER, a motivational 13-track mixtape.
