The West Coast is home of the beautiful women, the fast cars, and the player shit. From Diego to the Bay it’s about who’s getting paid and 22gfay is the 18 year old artist that has everyone in a frenzy, including LA. The San Diego native pushes player music to the max keeping it cool and active on his project The Book of Deuce Chapter 1. With hit’s like Faded, One Night, and Pilot, the rapper’s music has been added to various DJ serratos including the LA Leakers. With no major features or label 22gfay is someone you need to pay attention to.

Tracks like Faded is a good example of why he has star qualities. The video is shot in a single room by Stop Sign Productions focusing on 22gfay’s unique tone of voice and bounce where he establishes himself as a storyteller with different concepts. Faded is about money conversations with your significant other. He sounds like an artist that can work with A Boogie wit da Hoodie and switch around and be in a car with Bino Rideaux or Fivio Foreign. His sound is so authentic to him it’s not hard to picture why he has created the supply and demand for his music. 22gfay just started popping up on YouTube about a year ago doing major numbers on his own surpassing 100ks views on various viral music videos within months of dropping.

One Night is a certified banger. The melodies catch each other with consistency with a flow that rocks back and forth like a club hit. This is player music. This is the call your loved one slide on me we’re having fun tonight type of music. Produced by Afro, 22gfay dances on the west coast drums and describes a night out in the town. 22gfay sing raps on the track and touches culturally making body’s move on the dance floor without effort. The track is a good representation of the West highlighting his hometown city of San Diego for the sound they’re pushing.

Pilot is what distinguishes him artistically from others. The song is slow, almost in an R&B space which opens up the scope of his vocal ability. These are the songs that make you realize the artist is a person not just a hype man riding the beat. Creatively 22gfay might be one of the most interesting acts developing in the West. 22gfay is currently on tour with LA rapper Bravo the Bag Chaser make sure to catch him live.
