Cello has dropped off two fresh videos for his tracks "SRT" and "Status". Hailing from Baton Rouge, he is known as a “poet of the trenches,” as his songs balance hard-hitting street narratives with cultural awareness and reflection. He's making his mark with the release of his new single “SRT,” a high-energy anthem powered by heavy bass, sharp lyricism, and the unmistakable charisma of Southern rap. In addition, Cello is releasing his song “Status” as a bonus for listeners who have tuned in early, featuring stylish, booming sonics and raw, engaging vocals.
With its expansive, bass-heavy production based around silvery harps, massive 808s, and trunk-knocking percussion- as well as its energizing verses and infectious chorus, “SRT” reflects Cello's grimy but celebratory approach. The video for “SRT” uses the thrill and ambition of car culture as a symbol of speed, aspiration, and the hunger to push forward, reflecting the motivational mood and feel of the track.
Released alongside "SRT", "Status" is a catchy, potent accompaniment that features rumbling 808s, lively instrumentation, and crisp percussion, which lock in an intoxicating groove beneath Cello's smooth, enticing vocals. With raw, yet hypnotic, melodies, and sharply-crafted songwriting, he glides over the instrumentation while further demonstrating his dynamic style, backed by nocturnal, vibrant visuals.
Baton Rounge's Cello raps with a mix of personal reflection and raw authenticity, drawing from his Baton Rouge upbringing while speaking to universal themes of ambition, struggle, and resilience. He also proudly carries his Cherokee heritage, adding another layer of depth to his artistry. His latest two tracks, released under Wae Entertainment bring forth potent, focused reflections of his versatile, gritty style, alongside sleek visuals.
