Young Black and Gifted, the powerhouse duo from Rochester, returns with Victory Lap, an unapologetically bold anthem produced by Kidd Called Quest and delivered with razor-sharp verses by Azariah. Featuring a stellar guest appearance by Jae Hussle, the track carries a triumphant energy with its gripping beat and lyrical firepower. It’s a no-skips addition to your playlist and a reminder of why this duo continues to be a staple in conscious hip-hop.
The synergy between Kidd Called Quest and Azariah is undeniable. While the duo is celebrated for their joint projects, they’ve stayed active with solo endeavors as well. Kidd has been a force behind the boards, producing albums like Pretty Bulli’s Then & Now and crafting Musical Karma, an instrumental collaboration with Dee Jay Sight. Azariah’s solo project, Intermission 2.0, further showcased his lyrical depth, featuring talents like Jae Hussle, Euphony Bars, and Crotona P. With Victory Lap, Young Black and Gifted have set the stage for what’s to come—a new LP is already in the works, promising more of their signature blend of beats and bars.
