Brolley, 20, is a music obsessed student at American University in Washington, DC. He tends to know *just* a little bit more than the average post-teen about pop music. He would greatly appreciate it if you giving Gyptian a listen. And here’s why:
Who knew that a few piano keys, some drums, and a bass line could take you so far?
If you’re one of those people who likes to discover songs before they blow up, you should be paying attention to “Hold Yuh” by Gyptian, because if this song hasn’t found you yet, it will very soon. This is going to be one of those songs that you will hear all summer long at BBQs, concerts, and when cars drive by you on the street.
“Hold Yuh”, which was recorded over 2 years ago, has come from complete obscurity and within the past few weeks has been slowly climbing up the Billboard charts, thanks to two people – Nicki Minaj and Major Lazer. Minaj released a remix of the Ricky Blaze produced track in the spring and it has quickly become a fan favorite. Major Lazer remixed the song and included it on their recently released “Lazerproof” mixtape collaboration with La Roux. With the help of these two major players, Gyptian is quickly becoming a recognizable name within the scene. Whatever the version, the song seems to have caught people’s ears, and they’re playing it. Almost everywhere.
