For ‘Hype’, A.M. SNiPER teams up with one of hiphop’s undisputed underground kings, New Orleans rapper Curren$y, long-term friend and collaborator of Wiz Khalifa. The song is a trademark laid-back, late-night jam that oozes understated class as the two rappers combine to wax lyrical about operating on the low - A.M. SNiPER on his operations in Ayia Napa and Spitta Andretti on that Jet Life.
This appreciation of authenticity and culture is reflected on the new single; sampling A Tribe Called Quest’s "Butter" with vocal cuts from the late Phife Dawg, it pays tribute to similar icons - Bob Marley for instance. Two artists concerned with the art and the vision rather than the hype. Similarly, A.M. SNiPER and Spitta have remained consistently releasing dope material on the underground – it’s a question of staying true to what really matters. Since its premiere with COMPLEX UK and Charlie Sloth’s Rap Show on BBC Radio 1, “Hype” has gone on to trend on both sides of the Atlantic, With Tim Westwood supporting on Capital 1Xtra and the video rapidly approaching 2M views across all platforms including trending WORLDSTAR HIP HOP (with over 1.2M views) and VEVO on over 500K+ views.
With “Hype” crashing into the Music Week Urban Club Charts at #24, A.M. SNiPER’s summer tour in Ayia Napa commenced Friday 3rd alongside Lethal Bizzle, Wiley, Section Boyz, Charlie Sloth, Fekky, Chipmunk and Jaguar Skills.
