<p>The Louisville native came through with “BLOW UP” and “IF I STOP NOW” on Friday morning. The new records not only mark his first releases of the new year but also, his first solo offerings since the release of<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/414883-est-gee-drops-i-never-felt-nun-ft-future-jack-harlow-and-more-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <em>I Never Felt Nun</em></a>.</p>

<p>Both singles find EST Gee reuniting with his frequent collaborator, FOREVER ROLLING. However, “IF I STOP NOW” also boasts contributions from Haze and Zuus. Though he’s yet to reveal whether an album will follow the two singles, “IF I STOP NOW” and “BLOW UP” are undoubtedly building excitement for his next offering.</p>



<p>2022 was a rather big year for EST Gee. After inking a deal with <a href="/profile/YoGotti" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Yo Gotti</a> the year prior, he became a valuable asset to CMG. He joined forces with 42 Dugg for their joint project,<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/415617-est-gee-and-42-dugg-last-ones-left-review-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> <em>Last Ones Left</em></a>, which simultaneously highlighted several artists and associates outside of CMG. </p>
