Scar Lip – This Is New York

Scar Lip is not playing games when it comes to her city. Earlier this month, the Bronx-born, Brooklyn-raised emcee unveiled a new single titled “This Is New York,” an aggressive effort that takes inspiration from the late legend DMX. As such, Scar Lip used the booming production to send a scathing message to both visiting tourists and feeble residents alike.

“This is New York, f**k I look like tellin’ a n**ga good mornin’? F**k I look like bein’ nice, sweet, charmin’, and warmin’? Get the f**k out New York, you ain’t welcomed anymore, get the f**k out New York, we ain’t feelin’ you no more, back the f**k up! Move the f**k back!”

“This Is New York” also boasts a matching visual that comes courtesy of WhoTheWizz. Viewers will see the rising star mobbing heavily in different locations within Harlem, including on Frederick Douglass Boulevard and the nearby St. Nicholas Houses. All in all, Scar Lip is bringing raw energy that’s reminiscent of gangsta rap during the late ’90s and the early aughts.
