Brooklyn-via-Florida rapper Niontay, Hartford cloud-rap star RealYungPhil, and New York rap crew Surf Gang have joined forces for a new single called “Halftones.” It’s produced by Harrison and Flea Diamonds. They’re also releasing the track’s video, in which Niontay and RealYungPhil take turns rapping around the streets of New York. Check it out below.
Make sure to stick around through the end of the video. During the last two minutes of its runtime, Niontay, RealYungPhil, and Surf Gang have tacked on an unreleased track titled “Amnesia.” It’s greeted by a green, night vision-style clip where they take turns rapping their lines directly into the camera.
Surf Gang released four collaborative projects last year: Oxygen (with Matt Ox), SGPM (with Serane), Fast 5 (with 454), and JGSG (with John Glacier). The collective also did a two-track release with Hook called Selfish.
