Lexa Gates still may not be a mainstream star, but her talents speak for themselves; she’s the real deal. The 24-year-old rapper, singer, and producer already has quite a distinct sound, blending dreamy East Coast boom bap with soft hints of R&B. Think Conductor Williams but as a MC. <\/p>\n
She really caught fans’ attention in 2024 with her album Elite Vessel, which caught some commercial buzz, landing on the Hot 200. The low-key act has been continuing to tinker with her style and collaborating with some legends<\/a> as she prepares for her next album. <\/p>\n Titled I AM, its due out later this year. It’s slated to include previous singles such as “Latency”<\/a> and “Past It,” with the latter being the most recent. That is until “Nothing To Worry About” came along. <\/p>\n Released this past Friday, September 26, Lexa gives us a peek inside of her mind and how she’s been operating now that she’s become a true talent. Produced by Billy Lemos (SZA<\/a>, Tinashe<\/a>, Paris Texas), she woozily spits with a lot of personality about how her life has drastically changed. <\/p>\n “Climbing up a mountain \/ Drinking from the fountain \/ Calling my accountant \/ Take a hundred thousand \/ No matter what I spend \/ I’m pushin’ it, full send.”<\/p>\n It’s another unique gem from Lexa Gates and presumably one of many to be on I AM. Speaking of the LP, she will be taking it on a tour starting October 27. It will run for 15 dates<\/a> across North America up until December 4 where she will return to her hometown. <\/p>\n Lexa Gates “Nothing To Worry About”<\/p>\n Looking for something to buy to bye-bye my void
And if I seem annoyed, it’s ’cause I’m tryna avoid
Everything I want, want, yet never have
Sh*t ain’t half bad
It’s the whole thing
This devotion, keeps me run-runnin’ around<\/p>\n
