After an extended hiatus that recently ended this past March with a festival announcement, GRiZ is back in the music news. From announcing and selling out his inaugural Seven Stars Festival in Arrington, Virginia, in October and dropping his surprise GEMINI EP, to selling out two nights at Wintrust Arena in Chicago and Cow Palace in Daly City, he has taken his return to the next level. Thankfully, the good news continues to build as Griz dropped his long-awaited track with UK grime legend Flowdan, “Coast 2 Coast.”
This hard-hitting new single may sound familiar, as it was played out as an unreleased ID by Griz’s peers during his hiatus, including Subtronics, Tape B, Wooli, and Levity. The original track featured Flowdan’s sample vocal in Sammy Virji’s “Shellaverse,” but due to the track’s rapid rise in popularity, he recorded a brand new topline for the release. Check it out below to hear this never-before-heard version of “Coast 2 Coast.”
Rooted in grime-infused attitude and bass-heavy production, this track serves as yet another testament to Griz’s talents as a multi-faceted musician and producer. Whether he’s leaning into the heavier side of bass music or switching from glitch-hop to upbeat future funk, any GRiZ track is the perfect soundtrack to fuel a serotonin escape, and this single is no different. A custom visual directed by Zach Okami will debut alongside the release, reimagining Flowdan’s performance through vivid, stylized storytelling.
Every event GRiZ has announced since his return has sold out within minutes, so it’s a good idea to keep up with his socials below. You don’t want to miss the chance to experience his dynamic performances, and he might be coming to a stop near you soon!
