So far this year, the momentum behind Virginian artists has been growing steadily, and at the forefront of this movement sits Norfolk native Young Crazy. His newest project Interstate 110 contains 9-tracks and features from rappers Icewear Vezzo, Yayo105, Breezo2x, Luh Kiddo, and singer Lyrivelli. The tape is Young Crazy’s first full length release of the year, following last year’s Quarantine Crazo EP, Still Selling 4 Ways EP, and Gin In the Pot (collab tape with producer Pyrex Whippa).

Music videos for “Blicks Up In The Party”, “Unbeatable”, and “Shell Jumping” were released ahead of the project’s unveiling. “Shell Jumping” was recently chosen in the R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week by Billboard, along with acts like Don Toliver and Isaiah Rashad.
Take a listen to Interstate 110 by Young Crazy, and check out some memorable lyrics below!
I stopped talking to my mom so so I could see another side of me / She seen what I was doing with that time she’ll be proud of me / No hard feelings but sometimes that’s how it’s gotta be / Ain’t the same nigga askin’ for shit up at that Dollar Tree – “Gintro”
Bags on me, feel the instinct / Right pocket on Maroon 5, left pocket N-Sync – “Gintro”
Bitch, now you’re penalized / Put so much white up on her block they think we gentrified / Had to name the chopper ‘Xzibit’, finna let that bitch pimp his ride / He kept saying he was a demon, God said his ass was meant to die – “No Wellin”
All these guns got more than 21, might get ‘don to slaughter niggas / I was raised up by that pistol, I look up to glocks like father figures – “Love of the Money”
