21 Jan Grammy-Nominated Producer Wuki Teams Up With Smokepurpp for New Single ‘Birdz’

Grammy-nominated producer Wuki kicks-off the new year with a monstrous collaborative single ‘Birdz’ featuring rapper Smokepurpp. Released today Thursday, January 21st via HARD Recs, ‘Birdz’ follows Wuki’s recent all-star collaborations and releases with Shaq, Yung Baby Tate, and Juvenile. 

Opening ‘Birdz’ with boisterous production and cinematic trap beats, Smokepurpp commands the track with his raw, menacing, and rhythmic flow. Wuki lays the groundwork for ‘Birdz’ and perfectly compliments Smokepurpp’s cadence with edgy and textured production. Crafting the beats to have both swaggering and distorted notes, Wuki adds his bass-centric flare to the hard trap tune that instantly gives ‘Birdz’ an otherworldly and demented feel. 

No stranger to working with industry leading talent, Wuki has collaborated with Juvenile, Yung Baby Tate, Stoppa, Diplo, Shaq, Skrillex, Slayyyter, among many others. He scored his first-ever grammy nomination in January 2019 for his remix of the Miley Cyrus hit ‘Mother’s Daughter.’ His earlier track ‘Better’ with Valentino Khan became a viral tik-tok trend, with over five million videos made globally. Wuki’s music is also gaining recognition in major films, where his single ’Throw It’ was used in Netflix’s film Work It (starring Sabrina Carpenter & Jordan Fisher). 

Chicago-born rapper, producer and songwriter Smokepurpp launched his career via Soundcloud at only 18-years-old and gained global exposure for his tracks ‘Samsung Jumpin,’ ‘Ski Mask,’ and the mega hit ‘Audi,’ with the latter scoring over 200 million streams across platforms. International touring soon followed, as did a record deal with Alamo/Interscope Records in 2017. Later that year, Smokepurpp dropped his debut mixtape ‘Deadstar,’ which quickly gained critical acclaim, peaked at #42 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and featured tracks with artists such as Chief Keef, Juicy J and Travis Scott. 2019 saw Smokepurpp release his debut EP ‘Lost Planet’  followed by his debut album Deadstar 2 via Alamo/Interscope.
