August 22, 2025 — (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, 18-year-old rap phenom Nettspenddrops the surprise two-song pack gone too soon, featuring the gleefully chaotic new single “stressed” and the noisy slapper “her friends” — genre-blurring tracks that feel tailor-made to turn the party into a mosh pit. Listen HERE and watch the wild, New York-shot video for “stressed” HERE. (Once it’s live later today).

Though Nettspend’s last official drop was the grimy xaviersobased team-up “Impact”— a victory lap of a single that arrived on March 18, his birthday — he’s been teasing new music on multiple fronts: debuting songs on his recent EU/UK tour, leaking his own tracks on SoundCloud (“forever”) and YouTube (“HOPSCOTCH”), and launching a game on his website seemingly dubbed early life crisis. where fans can play to unlock unreleased audio and unseen footage.

Gone too soon will only feed his intense fandom’s fervor. Produced by GOLDIN and RiotUSA (Ice Spice, Central Cee), “stressed” rips out of the gate with Nettspend letting loose a slurry falsetto over a tense soundscape of busy trap drums, whirring tones, and guttural adlibs: “My lil’ bro stressed, I got some s— to get off my chest.”A teaser shared on X has already racked up 2.5 million views, while various versions of the song have amassed 25+ million views on TikTok.

Meanwhile, “her friends” plays like the lead track’s slightly less evil twin as Nettspendgoes “on the hunt for bliss” between waves of buoyant bass and shout-along chants. The song, which is produced by ss3bby(PlaqueBoyMax, OsamaSon), feels ready for crowded clubs and late-night drives thanks in part to a heavily damaged sample of Dej Loaf’s suave 2015 hit “Back Up.”

The dust still hasn’t settled on Nettspend’s debut mixtape, BAD ASS F*CKING KID, which kicked off a headline-making streak for the Virginia-bred artist. Since then, he’s launched more than one rowdy North American tour; made his runway debut with Prada’s sister label Miu Miu at Paris Fashion Week; stepped out of a star-spangled limo directly into a riotous Rolling Loud California set; and arrived by helicopter to his 18th birthday party in a 17th floor penthouse.

GQ marked Nettspend’s coming-of-age with a lengthy profile that placed the young man in the center of a whirlwind of A-list activity and noted — as a positive — that, “Every generation makes music that their parents just don’t understand, but Nett’s music seems custom-designed to irritate and alienate anyone over, say, 19.” They also had him back for a 10 Essentials video.

Meanwhile, HIGHSNOBIETY attended the polarizing artist’s birthday spectacular in Los Angeles, following with both a fashion pieceabout Nettspend’s trendsetting fans and a rapturous on-the-ground report that declared: “Nett without a doubt has an obvious allure both musically and aesthetically. If you’re unfamiliar, picture Kurt Cobain’s hair, Justin Bieber’s boyish charm, and Lil Peep’s infamous slurring sad boy swagger. Whatever Nett’s formula is, it’s working.”

Earlier this year, Nettspend wrapped his headlining INVERT TOUR, which lit up mosh pits in major cities across North America. His New York City stop inspired an i-Dphotoshoot of his famously devoted followers, complete with footage of the surging crowd. Complex highlighted an onstage appearance by Pinkpantheress in L.A. and also interviewed kids LIVE FROM THE PIT in NYC. And MTV vet John Norris spoke with Nettspend backstage for Interview Magazine.

With energizing singles like “Shut Up” and “Tommy,” 2024’s BAD ASS F*CKING KIDled Pitchfork’s “Albums You Should Listen to Now,” picked up love from Stereogum, and won a rave review from The FADER, who wrote, “Nettspend’s strongest traits are on clear display here: an ear for beats that can keep up with his manic flows, a melodic instinct that can suffuse even the most trite one-liners with moody pathos, and odd turns of phrase that poeticize boilerplate images and ideas […] He sounds tortured and ambitious and ecstatic and delirious all at once.”

Ranked among “the vanguard of underground rap” (Rolling Stone), Nettspend has been building a cult-like following since he was 16 years old. Working with a who’s who of internet rap — producers including Kenny Beats, EvilGiane, and OK; artists like OsamaSon; and kingmakers like Cole Bennett, who directed the video for October’s “F*CK SWAG” — he’s quickly emerging as an unpredictable generational force. Watch closely as Nettspend continues his wild rise.
