Tennessee Rapper Slatt Zy Shares New Track, “Head Gone”

Tennessee rapper Slatt Zy returns with the funk-inflected, diaristic flex “Head Gone” via Capitol Records. A striking change of pace, the young MC trades in his trademark pain and reflection for something more free-flowing and occasionally even joyous. “Head Gone” follows November’s “Life Is Crazy” and August’s “Problems & Pain.”

In some ways, Slatt’s new single is a statement of intent. “Ball until I die, I want diamonds on my tombstone,” he raps as guitar vamps and piano runs twinkle in the background. Later on, the 20-year-old points to the motivating factor for his hustle, underlining why all the long nights in the studio are worth it: “I come from poverty, you put that bag in front I’m gonna get it.” Unfiltered and raw, “Head Gone” finds Slatt coming to terms with his rising stardom in real-time.
