Sugarhill Ddot Expands Celebrated Debut With “2 Sides of the Story” Deluxe
Teen Harlem rap sensation Sugarhill Ddot returns with the deluxe edition of his celebrated debut album, 2 Sides of the Story, out now via Priority Records. The expansion adds seven tracks, including a new STAR BANDZ collab, “Energy”, and the “Like This (Remix)”, which features Bay Swag and wolfacejoeyy and comes with a Haitian Picasso-directed video filmed in New York.
The “Like This (Remix)” continues the theme of the original, where Sugarhill Ddot kicks off a fling that seems to be developing into romance. The jittery beat samples Ginuwine’s2001 hit love song “Differences,” and the song’s new guests lean into the theme, exploring the line between fleeting fun and something more serious. Sugarhill Ddotcaptures the blurred lines on the hook: “Like, why are you treatin’ me like this? / Like, why you gettin’ me like this? / I’m just tryna think, baby, you priceless / I’m startin’ to think that you like this.” The new video is pure celebration, with the New York rappers playing pool and partying.
Other 2 Sides of the Story Deluxe highlights include the new opener “The Meaning of 2sidesofthestory,” the darkly reflective “Savages,” and “Energy” — an upbeat sequel of sorts to Sugarhill Ddot and STAR BANDZ’s hugely viral hit “My Baby,” which also appears on the album. The “My Baby” video recently surpassed 16m views.
Despite his age, Sugarhill Ddot has been carving out his own lane for a few years, collecting co-signs from the likes of Drake, Ice Spice, and Lil Durk following a powerful run of self-released songs that culminated in his signing to Priority Records. He dropped a slew of singles across 2023, earning a rep for songs that swirled up the urgency of drill with the wild, youthful innovation that sparked rap’s original rise. Sugarhill Ddot made good on that promise, showing an artist who can easily switch modes — hard-edged to melodic — and smartly curate talent with cameos from Skilla Baby, Hunxho, Luh Tyler, BBG Steppaa, and even the late PnB Rock, not to mention production from Fridayy, Hitmaka, Quay Global, MCVertt, and others.
