Street Psalms

Few know better than Tee Grizzley that success doesn’t always last. The rapper’s first taste of stardom arrived in 2016 when his post-prison-release single “First Day Out” went viral. Fans like LeBron James and Lil Yachty helped boost his star power, but Grizzley knew he would have to build a sustainable bullpen of strong releases to keep up in the most competitive game of them all. The Detroit rapper has remained one of the most consistent songwriters in hip-hop, routinely dropping one or two projects each year. His second of 2025, *Street Psalms*, came just months after he dropped the powerfully introspective *Forever My Moment*. *Street Psalms* features some of Grizzley’s catchiest songs to date, though he never sacrifices his street savvy or hard-hitting bars for commercial success. “Make Em See” finds Tee using accents within his rhyme scheme to give the song a palpable rhythm, while on “Voicemail” he teams up with Rod Wave for an emotional and intense reflection on whether or not his success as a rapper even matters. “Talked to my daughter on FaceTime, it’s healing my heart,” he raps, before admitting: “Sometimes it get to killing me, hope this ain’t how she remember me.”
