New Jersey very own Coi Leray is starting 2019 off the right way, releasing her EC2 album this past weekend. For many people that don’t know Coi is also the daughter of Hip-Hop executive Benzino. Coi Leray first jump on the scene towards the end of 2017 with breakout hits “Pac Girl” and “G.A.N.” She followed that up with her debut mixtape EverythingcoZ, which was released in March 2018. But things really got taken up a notch when she released her banger “Huddy”, by Republic Records at the end of 2018. The music video for “Huddy” got 1.6+ million views on Youtube, while racking up 370K+ spins on Soundcloud in 4 months.
The Jersey emcee has enjoyed her new found fame by appearing on the soundtrack for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse with Ski Mask & Jacquees on “Save the Day.” Also she is on tour with Trippie Redd on Redd’s 2019 Life’s A Trip Tour. The nationwide tour starts January 26 in Sauget, Illinois, to February 28 in Seattle, Washington.
Now back to EC2 which is laced with 9 tracks lead by her hit “Huddy”, with her lone feature coming from Trippie Redd on “Big Dawgs.” The female emcee can not only rap but her singing skills were on full display on “All Black”, with her talking never trusting a guy again because he painted her heart black. On the next track “VVS”, she humble brags about all the designer she can afford now while also splitting money with her gang. Coi Leray gets into her feelings on “To The Moon”, where she missing her love hoping he comes back so they can vibe all night. Coi is definitely leading the charge with the New Jersey Music Scene bubbling up with stars everywhere.
You can stream EC2 on all music platforms and watch out for Coi, I think she has a big chance to overthrow all the dolls for the top female emcee spot. With all of Jersey backing her it’s only a matter of time.
