Columbus GA’s Tivory Geddie’s influences are clear: Southern Hip Hop legends UGK (in particular Pimp C), and the storytelling of Kendrick Lamar. That story? A man so driven to find his way in Atlanta’s scene, he lived out of his car and on the streets, “sold cars, drugs, CDs, blood and worked 9 to 5 to make this dream a reality”. “Want You” may not be his latest, but it’s one of the best examples of just how pro Geddie’s style is. It also features newly-minted R&B superstar Bryson Tiller.

“Kush”, Geddie’s latest, appears on his Tylers Airmax2 mixtape, which he dedicated to his departed brother. It’s an honour to feature Geddie on this blog at such an early stage. Here’s hoping he finds his way towards superstardom.
