ØWay: Atlanta Rap Collective Poised for 2026 Viral Cypher
new York Drill’s Rising Stars Shine on “ØWay Cypher”
Teh “ØWay cypher,” released in late December, isn’t just a collection of verses; it’s a showcase of New York drill’s current energy and future potential. the track features a diverse lineup of artists, each bringing a unique style to the table, and several moments stand out as particularly compelling.
5. billi0n
Best bar: “I’m in the corner having late, night / talks with my kiiidney”
It’s not what billi0n is saying, but how he says it. His voice is a striking blend of Nino Paid and the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes. That energetic delivery immediately elevates “ØWay Cypher” from the first verse.
4. EA TJ
Best Bar: “Smash the Benz’, had to switch the tag, got bitches stalkin’ me / Big dog, n***a, I got steppers all the way in Albany”
EA TJ delivers only four bars, but the way he pronounces “Al-ba-ny” has stuck with me for a week. It’s a testament to the impact of his concise verse, which feels genuinely exciting and integral to the track.
3. Yung Fazo
Best bar: “I knew would do it / I knew I would get to the top, I been touchin’ the stars, gon’ be the influence”
Yung Fazo is one of ØWay’s newer, younger artists, and his contribution demonstrates the collective’s commitment to fostering the next generation of talent.
