Los Angeles, CA — On March 18th, teenage rap phenom Nettspend rings in his 18th birthday with “Impact,” a bleary-eyed victory lap of a single featuring his friend, collaborator, and current tour opener xaviersobased. Listen HERE, and get tickets to the INVERT TOUR HERE.

The new release follows Nettspend’s buzzing appearances at both Rolling Loud California and Paris Fashion Week. The polarizing Virginia star made his runway debut walking for Miu Miu, making headlines in GQ and The FADER and picking up additional coverage in The New York Times and HIGHSNOBIETY.

Over a grimy yet chiming **** beat, the duo trade blurry verses detailing the perks and stressors of living life in the fast lane. Nettspend bursts in with his impressionistic best: “Built it from the floor, I took off the whole ceiling / Party in the building, party in the building / I almost there, so, you can have my children / Running up the stairs trying to make it to the feelin’.”

Meanwhile, Nettspend’s headlining INVERT TOUR continues in support of his buzzing debut mixtape, BAD *** F*CKING KID. The news-making run has been lighting up mosh pits in major cities across North America and stirring up coverage, too. His New York stop inspired an i-D photoshoot of his feverishly devoted fans, complete with footage of the surging crowd. Complex highlighted an appearance by Pinkpantheress in L.A. and interviewed kids LIVE FROM THE PIT in NYC. And MTV vet John Norris spoke with the star backstage for Interview Magazine.

Ranked among “Gen-Z’s most promising class of musical innovators” (FADER) and “the vanguard of underground rap” (Rolling Stone), Nettspend has steadily been captivating fans across the internet with singles like October’s “F*CK SWAG” — which came with a Cole Bennett-directed video HERE — while serving up an endless stream of collabs with peers like OsamaSon and xaviersobased. BAD *** F*CKING KID was an all-new set of distorted beats and woozy rap, featuring production by Kenny Beats, EvilGiane, OK, Reklus1ve, Bobby Raps, Carter, and more. 

BAD *** F*CKING KID led Pitchfork’s “Albums You Should Listen to Now,” which praised “his narcotized mumbles and ad-libs [set] to dizzy production.” Stereogum shouted out the Grimes-sampling “Skipping Class,” while others praised “Beach leak” with its Jersey club beat. And FADER reviewed, raving that, “Nettspend's strongest traits are on clear display here: an ear for beats that can keep up with his manic flows, a melodic instinct that can suffuse even the most trite one-liners with moody pathos, and odd turns of phrase that poeticize boilerplate images and ideas [...] He sounds tortured and ambitious and ecstatic and delirious all at once.”

As far as his fervent online following has confirmed, Nettspend’s first song hit SoundCloud in late 2022 — but he made his entrance the next year with the fittingly titled Kickdoor EP before landing “Shine N Peace” on No Bells’ “Best Internet Rap 2023” and The New York Times’ “Best Songs of 2023” roundups. The Times also placed Nettspend on their list of “7 Artists Shaping the Sound of 2024.” Last year, his summer Let’s Create Art Tour inspired THE FACE to report that, “The 17-year-old, who looks like a fresh-faced Kurt Cobain, instigated massive mosh pits at his debut London show [...] and had sweat-drenched fans mobbing the merch stall.” Vulture called his 2024 Rolling Loud California appearance “one of the most hyped sets of the weekend.” Catch Nettspend on the INVERT TOUR to see “Impact” hit live.
