It feels like we haven't heard a lot of music from Theophilus London over the past few years. The last time we heard something from him was in 2016 when he released his song "Revenge" with Ariel Pink. Since then, we've been waiting for new music. London officially ended the drought over the weekend when he released his latest project NIGHTS B4 BEBEY. The project seemed to be a mix between new songs and a few demos and previews. One song that was completed and added to the project was "Ride" which features Dev Hynes and Tata.

Theophilus London brings Three 6 Mafia vibes to the table with his song "Ride" off of NIGHTS B4 BEBEY. The track serves as the second last song on the project. It has a dark, grim chopped-and-screwed vocal sample on it and a thick baseline that Theophilus, Dev Hynes and Tata snap on. It's a dope track and a definite highlight from London's latest project.

We're excited to hear whatever else he has up his sleeve.

Quotable Lyrics
All my bitches grinnin'
Feelin' like they winnin'
God himself is sinnin'
Thought that I was finished
