EST Gee (@ESTGEE) - "I Ain't Feeling You" (Bonus Edition Album)
Four new tracks are included in the updated project
Louisville recording artist Est Gee delivers I Ain’t Feeling You (Bonus Edition) via CMG/Interscope Records. The surprise expansion of his freshly dropped album includes four new tracks including “Flash” featuring rising Chicago rapper Bloodhound Q50 and Kanye West’s sample of “Flashing Lights.”
“Flash” only adds to the album’s portfolio of vivid street tales, introspective storytelling, and dynamic punch lines. The track also samples Kanye West’s 2009 hit “Flashing Lights,” continuing the album’s run of smart references to hip-hop’s past. Lead single “The Streets” borrows from Playaz Circle’s classic “Duffle Bag Boy,” “Plug Motivation” draws on Jeezy’s great “Thug Motivation 101,” and “Do My Own Stunts” samples Lil Scrappy’s “Head Bussa.”
A force to be reckoned with, Est Gee continues to win listeners by authentically, unflinchingly documenting day-to-day life in his hometown with a rumbling deadpan style that pairs perfectly with trap-infused Southern rap. His current era follows a busy 2023 in which he not only released two charting mixtapes — the gritty, pain-powered Mad and his stylistically diverse victory lap El Toro 2 — but also featured heavily on CMG’s door-kicking Gangsta Art 2 compilation alongside labelmates/collaborators like Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, GloRilla, and Mozzy, plus legendary CMG boss Yo Gotti.
Initially developing his unique vision across several self-released mixtapes, Est Gee broke out with 2021’s Bigger Than Life or Death tape, which hit No. 7 on the Billboard 200, grabbed No. 1 on Apple Music’s All-Genre chart, and lifted his career to the next level. That year, he also collaborated with Lil Baby, Young Thug, Lil Durk, and many others.
In 2022, EST Gee joined CMG and released his debut studio album, I Never Felt Nun, a collection of tense street raps with occasional dips into melody provided by superstar guests including Future and Harlow. The set hit No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and was his third to reach the Top 10 — including his and 42 Dugg’s 2022 joint mixtape, Last Ones Left. - via TheMusicUniverse
