You’re not too late for Teezo Touchdown
Teezo Touchdown, a magnetic musical force hailing from the vibrant city of Beaumont, Texas, has burst onto the global music scene with undeniable charisma and a genre-blurring sonic signature. In an era where artists often strive to fit within neat musical categories, Teezo’s alternative sound is refreshing, effortlessly blending classic hip-hop, trap, punk, and rock into a new mix which will leave listeners wanting more. Ultimately through these techniques, Teezo is able to break the boundaries of genre, creating a sonic universe that defies normative classification. . With his debut album “How Do You Sleep At Night,” he establishes his unique style which he calls rock and boom. According to Teezo, it is “R&B with the intensity of rock” accompanied by boom-bap era penmanship. What sets Teezo apart is not just his versatility in sound, but also his magnetic stage presence and avant-garde sense of style, defining him a true multimedia artist ready to push the boundaries of fashion and music to new levels of creativity. You may recognize him as the rapper with nails in his hair and question his album’s name, an inquiry that is natural when people see his unique hairstyle.
In a lot of ways musically, he is a trailblazer, although he still thinks of himself as an emcee first. Teezo’s journey started as a producer, and he is still very involved with the production of his music. Beyond his innovative sound, Teezo Touchdown is a visual storyteller par excellence. His music videos and live performances are immersive experiences, weaving together bold aesthetics and compelling narratives. If you are ever bored, I encourage you to sit down and watch part of a Teezo Touchdown interview where his eccentricities are on full display. For example, he often prefers to stand up and will choose to answer some questions on 10 to 15 post-it notes instead of words. He also comes across as a very passionate and genuine person while holding some of the anxieties that come with being the new kid on the block. The features on his latest album are relatively thin compared to the artists that he’s collaborated with this year such as Lil Yachty and Travis Scott. He says this is due to his fear of asking for things, especially from people whose work he really respects. In fact, Janelle Monae’s feature on his album only happened because it was set up by his record label.
If you do decide to listen to Teezo’s music, he does have a specific way he wants people to listen. He tells his fans that they should listen to his album in pajamas as he wants to make the act of listening to it an event. Grab a onesie and some snacks (chainmail hair being reserved only for his most invested fans) and enjoy some unique sounds. To new fans, he offers reassurance about investing in his music, saying, “Don’t worry, you’re still early.”
