Patrick Cc:

Chances are, Patrick Cc: told you about your favorite new rapper before anyone else did. For years, his YouTube channel has served as the definitive chronicle of the internet’s rap underground, an essential documentarian who was shouting out names like Yeat, Summrs, and SoFaygo long before the major-label feeding frenzy began. In a move that feels both surprising and inevitable, he flipped the script, moving from curator to collaborator. Now he organizes posse cuts himself, roping in the very artists he championed—like rich amiri, slump6s, and maajins on his standout track “Girl of My Dreams”—proving his deep-in-the-trenches cred by making music from inside the scene itself.
