Career

In April 2018, Summrs appeared on Florida rapper Weiland's single "Who's Better". [12] He rose to prominence as a pioneering figure in the PluggnB subgenre in 2018, releasing a series of projects, most notably ##Endeavor777 and Devotion, as well as ##Bellworld, followed by ##Bellworld 2, No Regrets and Revived. Summrs received praise for the single "Shouldve Known" featuring Cash Bently, released through SoundCloud in February 2019. Pitchfork Media declared it "the must-hear rap song of the day." [13] Summrs released Isolation, a 15-track album on October 15, 2019.

In January 2021, Summrs appeared on the single "Mother of My Kids" by TyFontaine. [14] He again collaborated with TyFontaine on the deluxe version of his album Ascension. [15] In December 2021, he released a SoundCloud exclusive track with Yeat titled "Countup". [16] He appeared on Thai rapper 1Mill's album Only1 in March 2022. [17] June 2022 marked the release of his debut full-length album Fallen Raven [2] , featuring the tracks "Swing Ya Pole" and "So Much Cheese", both of which garnered mainstream attention. In late 2024 he gained more recognition with his single "Marble Floors" on his NIGHTFALL EP and his "GO2WORK" feature on Yeat's album Lyfestyle .

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." [10] Summrs is known for being one of the main pioneers of the pluggnb subgenre of plugg music. Pitchfork writer Alphonse Pierre compares Summrs' vocal style to Lil Tracy, with more influences from R&B. [13]
