The Video:

Always out of pocket and never out of options, Chow Lee uses his sly charisma to make quotable rap bangers. Today, the Sexy Drill pioneer lives up to his lofty reputation, sharing “S.N.A.!,” his new single. The song samples “Sexy Boy,” famously used by WWE wrestler Shawn Michaels as his entrance music, and transforms it into an airy instrumental filled with angelic vocal choirs that belie Chow’s sinful desires. “S.N.A.!” is an outrageously confident missive that proves the young rapper is NYC’s most eligible, and least faithful, bachelor: “She asked if I got other b*tches/Is that a question, for real?/Look at me, is that a question for real?,” he raps. In the video, Chow presides over a beauty contest, as he invites all the finest ladies on the block to strut their stuff and before heading out for a night in the Towns.

The new single and video arrives shortly after a series of high profile live performances by the Long Island native. In February, Chow opened on several dates during Lil Tecca’s “HVN ON EARTH Tour,” and on Valentine’s Day, Chow hosted his own sold out show in Bushwick, which also featured appearances from his close friends Lonny Love and R2R Moe. In March, Chow made an appearance at Rolling Loud California 2024, performing hits from his catalog on the main stage. Last week, Chow made an appearance at the notorious Slizzyfest, celebrating his close collaborator Cash Cobain’s birthday.

“S.N.A.” continues a hot streak for Chow Lee, who has released several singles in the wake of his album, Hours After The Club. In December, Chow dropped “swag it!” (over 4 million audio + video streams across platforms), an ethereal sample drill anthem, which gained viral traction for its blunt opening line: “How do you feel about being my side b*tch?” In February, just in time for Valentine’s Day, Chow released the “porno story!” two-pack, featuring the title track and the viral, sensual, Cash Cobain-produced single “Ms. Beautiful V” (1 million streams on Apple Music, on top of 12.4k creates on TikTok), which reached the Top 25: New York City on Apple Music. Last summer, Chow released his super sexy album Hours After The Club, the latest evolution of his sexy drill sound. Hours After The Club is an addictive listen, radiating with the seductive charm that inspired Pitchfork to affectionately call Chow Lee the “horniest rapper out.” Hours After The Club is chock full of infectious melodies, as Chow’s natural bravado makes every X-rated flex feel natural. Chow followed-up Hours with singles like “team effort!” and “ready 2 live.”

Stay tuned for much more from Chow as he continues to establish himself as the most eligible bachelor in the rap game.

The Background:

Chow Lee is on a mission to become the next King of New York. He made major moves in the city’s rap scene with 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY, his 2022 collaborative project with Cash Cobain. Praised by Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, and earning “Best of 2022” distinction from UPROXX, The FADER, and more, 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY combined the sample-heavy sound of the Bronx with the hard-hitting dance beats from New Jersey to change the face of the NYC drill scene. 2 SLIZZY 2 SEXY highlight “Vacant” was recently named the 73rd Best East Coast Rap Song of All Time by Rolling Stone. Chow recently reconnected with Cash on the sexy drill anthem “Rump,” plus the Nelly-sampling “Not No Xanax 2” from Cash’s new album, and joined Wolfacejoeyy and Cash on the Pitchfork-approved “Weekend,” and released the fiery Hours After The Club anthem in July 2023.

Now, with buzzing singles like “swag it!” and “Ms. Beautiful V,” the Long Island native is primed to take his sexy drill sound maintream. Stay tuned for more.
