![]() He first met friend and collaborator Sheff G when the two were preparing to fight, but stopped when Sheff G was impressed with how Chambers carried himself. Chambers dropped out of school in the ninth grade. He later picked the name "Sleepy Hallow" as his rap name as that was his name in the streets. He is currently signed to Winners Circle Entertainment and RCA Records.Īs a child, Chambers immigrated from Jamaica to the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York City. In August 2021, his single "2055" peaked at number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming his highest-charting song. In August 2020, his single "Deep End Freestyle" featuring Fousheé was certified platinum by the RIAA. ![]() In 2018, he had his first breakthrough viral single with "Flows", which also featured Sheff G. Originally from Jamaica, Chambers grew up in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn in New York City alongside frequent collaborator Sheff G. If he is able to continue to release solid projects like “Still Sleepy,” then he may not have to anticipate storms, instead, he’ll have a warm hip hop bed prepared for him to stay as sleepy as he wants.Tegan Joshua Anthony Chambers (born December 20, 1999), known professionally as Sleepy Hallow, is an American rapper and singer. These lines open up the “1999” song, and I can not avoid being fixated on the song as I anticipate what is coming in the next line. On the song, Sleepy raps about success in his career and how he’s able to whether any storm that may result from fame. One standout track that demonstrates this “1999.” Immediately, I am swept by the flow and the artist’s dexterity, which is entirely mesmerizing. With all 14 tracks on the album being intense and well packaged, Sleepy’s trap style goes all out to give his peers a run for their money. Yet, they stand out on their own through the outstanding production and mastering. In recognition of the excellent production execution on this album, I must applaud the producer Great John for putting together some killer beats on each of the songs that nestle tightly with Sleepy’s trap voice. With “2055” and “Scrub” as examples, both share the same storyline as they describe the artist’s experience with a woman. So, for Sleepy Hallow to execute that exemplifies rare talent?Īs I navigated my way through the whole album, I noticed most of the tracks shared a similar lyrical landscape. Yet, with the Jamaican – American rapper hailing from Brooklyn, one thing’s for sure is that the foundation that was laid by rap legends, such as Notorious B.I.G., Lil Kim, Jay-Z, Pop Smoke, and many others, gives any rapper much to stand on and live up to.ĭespite that pressure, to my surprise Sleepy Hallow stands on ten toes with his album containing only one feature - he collaborated with Sheff G on “Tip Toe (Bonus).” Nowadays, it’s an anomaly for a hip hop artist to write, rap, and release a full album without the comfort of features. Albums usually evolve from a specific motivation or theme that an artist is interested in at that particular time while in studio and consist of a couple of songs that can set the mood for you as a fan to relate to.įor Sleepy Hallow’s album, “Still Sleepy?” released on June 2, my expectations were neither extremely high or low. Then, there’s the anticipation of delving into the mind of the genius behind the mic. ![]() Most times, the result is a gumbo of musical texture and experimentation that satiates even those who are overwhelmed by the continuous music releases. When an artist on the rise talks about an album release, I can’t help but get excited about the possible collaborations the artist will feature.
