- 6 years ago
Rejjie Snow (born Alexander Anyaegbunam) is a rising rapper from Ireland who first caught the industry’s attention after signing with 300 Entertainment in 2016.
The following year he released his mixtape 'The Moon And You' and found breakout success with the track “Purple Tuesday” featuring Joey Bada$$ and Jesse Boykins III.
Snow released his debut album Dear Annie this past February, a genre-bending blend of hip-hop and soul that was written and recorded during his travels across the world. The standout track “Egyptian Luvr” was inspired by a trip he took to Egypt as a kid.
The song is produced by KAYTRANADA and features Dana Williams and Aminé. Snow tells Genius that he wanted to create a song that embraces retro ‘70s beats, something his parents could dance to. The lyrics take on a darker approach, with lines that showcase deep insecurities and reflect on the last potential moments of life.
