Career

In April 2018, Summrs appeared on Florida rapper Weiland's single "Who's Better".[11] He rose to prominence as a pioneering figure in the "Pluggnb" subgenre in 2018, releasing a series of projects, most notably "##ENDEAVOUR777" and "DEVOTION", as well as "##Bellworld", followed up with "##Bellworld 2", "No Regrets" and "Revived". Summrs was praised for his song "Shouldve Known" featuring Cash Bently which he released on SoundCloud in February 2019. Pitchfork Media called it "the must-hear rap song of the day."[12] Summrs released "Isolation", a 15-track album on October 15, 2019.

In January 2021, he appeared on TyFontaine's single "Mother of My Kids".[13] In October 2021, he appeared on the deluxe version of American rapper TyFontaine's album Ascension.[14] In December 2021, he released a SoundCloud exclusive track with American rapper Yeat titled "Countup".[15] In March 2022, he appeared on Thai rapper 1Mill's album Only1.[16] In June 2022, he released his album Fallen Raven[2], featuring hit songs "Swing Ya Pole" and "So Much Cheese", both of which once again garnered mainstream attention. In July 2022, he and fellow rapper Lamont Galore released their track "Bird Business".[4]

Musical style

Chris Richards of The Washington Post describes Summrs' musical style as "sticky, Auto-Tuned rhymes sounding as if they were melting the midday sun."[5] Summrs is known for being one of the main pioneers of the pluggnb subgenre of plugg music. His music is similar to Lil Tracy but with more influences from R&B.[12]
