February 6, 2025 – Today, Louisville recording artist EST Gee delivers I Ain’t Feeling You (Bonus Edition). Stream HERE 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 sample of “Flashing Lights”.
“Flash” only adds to I Ain’t Feeling You’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.” To mark the release, EST Gee joined The Breakfast Club for a candid talk about music, sports, and life. Watch HERE.
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 Deathtape, 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; received cosigns from the likes of Jay-Z and Drake; played Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Louisville’s own Jack Harlow; and garnered praise from Complex (20 Best Rappers in Their 20s), The New York Times, who put Bigger on their year-end best albums list, and Rolling Stone, where EST Gee topped the Breakthrough 25 chart.
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. He also made his national TV debut performing at the BET Hip-Hop Awards with Jeezy, plus returned to Billboard’s Hot 100 via Future’s “CHICKENS”and Lil Baby’s “Back and Forth.” EST Gee has long been your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.
