This Shit Hard: YawnyBlew Remix EP Bridges Hip-Hop’s Regional Sounds

To mark the one-year anniversary of ‘This Shit Hard’ and the viral success of its acapella, Yawnyblew has dropped This Shit Hard RMX EP, a project that reshapes the original track through distinct regional hip-hop styles. The Drill Remix nods to his hometown of The Bronx, delivering a raw, bass-heavy flip that embodies the borough’s grit. Meanwhile, the Chopped & Slowed version, crafted by Mike Brown & 3DDI3 WAYN3, pays homage to Texas’ slowed-down, syrupy soundscapes, and the Papi Remix, helmed by COLDPRESSEDPAPI, reflects the energy of Virginia Beach, YawnyBlew’s second home. 

Originally released alongside The Creator’s Toolkit podcast, ‘This Shit Hard’ has always been more than just a track, it’s a statement. This remix EP continues YawnyBlew’s mission of celebrating Black queer men in hip-hop with COLDPRESSEDPAPI injecting new life into the project. The result is a genre-blurring experience that highlights the influence of different rap movements while keeping the original’s undeniable energy intact. 

With a multi-pronged rollout, including podcast features, press coverage, and playlist placements, This Shit Hard RMX EP is set to make waves across audiences who appreciate both innovation and homage in hip-hop. For Afrotrax listeners, the Drill and Papi remixes especially stand out, seamlessly blending regional hip-hop elements with the bass-heavy pulse of contemporary African and diaspora club sounds. Whether you’re drawn to Bronx drill’s urgent rhythms or the laid-back, groove-heavy touch of Virginia Beach, YawnyBlew’s remix EP ensures there’s something for every hip-hop lover.
