Standing By... is ready to take over the hiphop scene and show everyone they are here to stay with their debut release, "Chaos Theory". The 6-track EP follows 3 single releases earlier this year, which have received a lot of attention for the underground artists on reddit and various hip-hop blogs.
""Chaos Theory" lives up to its name from the transition between the title track and Billy Joel to the fervent trap metal screams and massive drops on VILLAIN right before capping it off with hip-hop-head vibes...."
The new Texas rappers started off as friends before officially forming Standing By... in 2022. Each of them started making music independently at ages as young as 7. Their influences are as diverse as they are, and the group cites inspiration from X, Flatbush Zombies, and alternative. When asked to describe their sound, member, Akya says, "it’s like if you mixed a college football game and depression and threw a beat behind it."
Even though they are a new rap group, the trio has long term plans to establish themselves as one of the best underground indie rap groups. Standing By...is definitely a group to watch coming into 2023. Check out their latest EP below.
