Thatboy: Awakening a New Chapter with “G.O.D”
With his latest single “G.O.D,” Thatboy takes a pivotal step in his artistic journey. This track, paired with a visually striking music video, showcases his ambition to redefine his style while paying homage to Hip-Hop’s roots. “G.O.D” boldly marks Thatboy’s return to the BOOM-BAP sounds that shaped his youth, reimagined with a modern twist to captivate today’s listeners.
An Introspective Journey Back to the Roots
For Thatboy, “G.O.D” is much more than just a track: it’s a true musical introspection. At the age of 16, his first EP was already imbued with the BOOM-BAP essence that introduced him to the world of Hip-Hop. This return to the roots symbolizes his desire to reconnect with what shaped his artistic identity while affirming his personal and musical growth.
Influences Spanning Generations
Thatboy draws inspiration from iconic figures in both classic and contemporary Hip-Hop. Legends like Pete Rock and Nas represent for him the golden age of the genre, providing a solid and authentic foundation for his craft. Simultaneously, he admires GRISELDA and WestSideGunn, whose boldness and innovation in modern Hip-Hop fuel his artistic vision.
New York: The Cradle of Renewal
On December 18, 2024, Thatboy will take off for New York, the global capital of Hip-Hop, for a trip that could redefine the course of his career. In Queens, one of the historical strongholds of this culture, he plans to immerse himself fully in its unique atmosphere. “New York represents everything Hip-Hop means to me. It’s a spiritual and artistic return to the source,” he explains.
This pilgrimage will not only be an immersion but also an interactive chapter of his story, documented live on his YouTube channel and Instagram page. A unique opportunity for fans to experience this journey alongside him.
A Trajectory on the Rise
Between the release of “G.O.D” and his pilgrimage to New York, Thatboy positions himself as a voice both innovative and reverent within the current musical landscape. His ability to balance tradition and modernity places him at a crossroads, ready to write the next pages of his career with passion and authenticity.
