Tampa-based hip-hop artist Cody Presley has released his newest EP, Twenty7, on all streaming platforms today. The sophomore project is considered the complete follow-up to his previously released singles “Before You Go” and “Nosebleed.” Featuring production work from Vaegud, Sketchmyname, HXRXKILLER, and 5head – Twenty7 EP is a reflection of Cody Presley’s personal struggles and thoughts.
Setting the sound and theme for the rest of the EP, Twenty7 opens with “Welcome To The Club,” a track about sacrifice at rock bottom, inspired by the 27 Club conspiracy. The EP unravels emo trap bangers “Dead Inside” and “Nosebleed,” amping emotive riffs alongside 808s. The closing track, “Ghost,” takes a turn into a slower field, ultimately bringing audiences back full circle.
Cody Presley discusses his Twenty7 EP with excitement:
“The team and I really poured a lot into this project, we’re really excited for everyone to hear it as a whole and just really feel the presence we put into it. We hope the when the fans listen to this project that they understand life is full of ups and downs, episodes, to just really tap into living in the moment. Whether it’s bad or good, life is an experience.” – Cody Presley
