At just 19 years old, Sturdyyoungin is quickly becoming one of Philadelphia’s brightest stars. Bringing charisma, charm, and unforgettable punchlines, he adds his signature style to the city’s uptempo dance rap sound. Following the success of his guest verse on the viral hit “BUMBAA” by close friend Ohthatsmizz, Sturdyyoungin returns with his latest release, “Trippin’,” a high-energy club anthem that’s sure to turn heads.
“Trippin'” takes Fergie’s classic “Clumsy” and transforms it into a stuttering, catchy anthem with a modern twist. Furthermore, Fergie herself makes a cameo appearance in the visual. Throughout, Sturdyyoungin reunites with Philly native Ohthatsmizz and brings in NYC’s ZeddyWill to create a troublesome trio. The three rappers trade verses like a conversation, each one outdoing the other with their flexes and clever bars in pursuit of romance.
In addition, the video for “Trippin’” takes inspiration from classic teen movies, adding a nostalgic twist to the fun. Sturdyyoungin, ZeddyWill, and Ohthatsmizz play football players vying for the attention of the cheer captain. Sturdyyoungin impresses on the football field, ZeddyWill spits game in the school hallways, and Ohthatsmizz takes the cheerleader to a local diner for burgers. However, the story culminates at a house party where rivalries fade, and the crowd dances to the viral “Trippin’” dance, taking over the party and showing off their moves.
