BeatKing- Ratchet & Savage
Houston rapper/producer BeatKing has an inborn gift for viral content; known as he is for ‘waiting for stupid shit to happen, then freestyling about it.’ This time, though, the shit happened to HIM on a brief sojourn to the city’s South Side, where he encountered none other than the notorious South Park Shawty whilst filling up with gas. As his new single “Ratchet & Savage” rattled his speakers, Southpark Shawty felt the need to drop it like it’s hot and, thanks in no small part to a share from Snoop Dogg, the hilarious video has garnered over 1.2M views.
“Ratchet & Savage” is BeatKing’s new single from his forthcoming project, “Astroworld 2”; an 18-track effort chock full of all things ratchet, and savage, H-town style. Features include new scholars like Maxo Kream, Sauce Walka and Blac Youngsta as well as OG’s we can’t receive enough of, like Slim, Paul Wall, Killa Kyleon, Chalie Boy and of course the home slice, Gangsta Boo. While some of the board work is handled by betaking himself, there’s plenty of other respected producers to ensure the project is well-rounded.
