Exclaim!'s Staff Picks: Teo and WESTSIDE BOOGIE Take Flight on "Wings"

BY Ben OkazawaPublished Jul 24, 2023

Sacramento up-and-comer Teo and L.A. heavyweight WESTSIDE BOOGIE have been drinking their Red Bull. The duo take flight on their new single "Wings" in a collab that I didn't expect, but have found myself wanting more from. 

Their respective individualities take shape as a precise blend of different styles, as Teo expertly baits the hook with a lilting, earworm bridge while BOOGIE's unmistakable rasp, contemplative songwriting and singular breath control and flow shine through in his verse. 

"See you in a drought, damn I thought you would be flourishing / Planting seeds of doubt and they gonna grow to insecurities"
