(October 4th, 2024) After practically breaking the internet a handful of times, rapidly rising St. Louis-born rapper ian unleashes a hard-hitting new single entitled “End Up Gone” out now.

Tonight, he will host a very special listening party in Los Angeles where he invited 200 fans on Instagram to join him. Meanwhile, he stoked anticipation for the arrival of new music by dropping a series of teasers on Instagram Reels (clip, clip, clip), generating over 1 million views in advance. He also posted a snippet on TikTok, inspiring over a thousand “creates” already.
On the track produced by frequent collaborator Sxprano, a skittering beat quakes through an orchestral string loop. From the jump, ian proclaims, “I’ll be dead before I pass the shit,” going on to body the production with finesse and fire. He continues to assert his lyrical prowess.
It just paves the way for more music to come very soon.
ian shook up the game upon arrival earlier this year. His debut Valedictorian [Deluxe] generated hundreds of millions of streams fueled by “Magic Johnson” with over 97 million streams alone, “Figure It Out,” and “Never Stop.” Most recently, he linked up with Lil Yachty on “Hate Me,” reeling in over 54 million streams and counting as well as 10 million-plus views on the Lyrical Lemonade-helmed music video. Earning acclaim, UPROXX hailed the latter as “a defiant new single that gives the young rapper plenty of space to show off his lyrical talents,” and Pitchfork proclaimed, ”ian comes with a calm, Swapa-slippery flow and the sort of gleefully fried punchlines that made his breakout song “Figure It Out” instantly memorable.” He’s taken the first steps towards superstardom.
Get ready for more in the future.
