In May, Detroit’s distinctive figure in the city’s rap scene, Veeze, grew weary of the persistent questions about a follow-up to his beloved 2023 album Ganger, and he dropped an 11-track data-dump mixtape titled Y’all Won without warning. The move was pretty entertaining—a fresh release framed as a sly, passive-aggressive reminder to fans and critics alike. Now Veeze has unveiled a new official single, and this track lands with a tone that feels noticeably less like something pulled out of him under pressure.
Veeze’s new cut, “guillermoandrade”, stays as relaxed as his usual style, riding a spacey, nearly vaporwave-flavored beat that suits his sleepy mutter of a delivery. Rumor has it the song nods to designer Guillermo Andrade. It runs about two minutes and even cuts off mid-phrase, yet it’s being treated as a single rather than a teaser. Mysterious! Give it a listen.
Just last week, Veeze also linked up with fellow Detroit rapper Babyface Ray on the single “Nigel Sylvester.” Today marks the release of Babyface Ray’s new album Unfuckwithable 2, and it’s worth noting that it features a collaboration between two iterations of Babyface Ray. Big things are happening. Here’s the “Nigel Sylvester” video.
Unfuckwithable 2 is out now on Wavy Gang/EMPIRE. The track guillermoandrade is out now on Navy Wavy/Warner.
