“HeatRockz” is Five Steez’s first collaborative EP with producer, Mordecai. It is his most aggressive project to date and features ‘true school’ boom-bap Hip Hop bangers to keep heads nodding. “This is my first project without that much of a theme,” the rapper says. “It’s really me having fun, flexing my skill and making high-energy music ideal to play in the car or hear me perform at a show.” The EP’s opening track, “Dirty Couch”, is a dusty-sounding “bona fide headnodder” with Steez taunting inferior rappers. He follows with “Encore”, an energetic banger with which you can see him rocking his audience in a packed venue.
