Originating from Syracuse, the rapper Stove God Cooks distinguishes himself from the abundance of talent in the industry by his exceptional lyrical abilities and unique delivery patterns. He is an artist that naturally garners attention – his confidence and attitude on the microphone are terrifying and unmatched by his colleagues. Cooks put together a stunning performance on his debut record, “Reasonable Drought,” which has won him a passionately loyal fan base. With co-signs from mainstream media sources like Billboard, Complex, DJ Booth, and many more, it’s no secret that he has the recipe to be hip-hop’s next breakthrough act. Following his fruitful partnership with French Montana on his initial release of the year, titled “Dope,” the artist signed to Babygrande has now unveiled his newest song and music video, titled “That’s The Game.”
Directed by GT Films, the video for “That’s The Game” gives viewers with a comprehensive cinematic experience. Cooks’ serene and collected manner exudes an air that captivates the observer, while it is his exceptional talent that truly makes a lasting impact. The tune is brought to life through rapid editing and creative camera angles, as Cooks navigates through a mansion filled with money and illegal narcotics. The video feels like a conclusion of Cooks’ coming up — having gone through hardships and tribulations to get where he is, Cooks knows that his time is now.
The single, produced by Samba Beatz, demonstrates Cooks’ artistic depth. He will not limit himself to one style; instead, he is exploring other sounds and embarking on a fresh musical journey with his latest release, “That’s The Game.” An emotive, yet lively piano sequence establishes the mood of the song, and once Cooks enters, he promptly discovers his rhythm, delivering captivating tunes while discussing the negative aspects of celebrity status. Lyrically, Cooks is at the forefront of hip-hop — his brilliant language and delivery have helped him create a tight relationship with a handful of hip-hop’s most lyrical geniuses, such Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine. Nevertheless, with every new publication, he actively seeks mainstream acknowledgment and demonstrates his ability to compete with anyone in the contemporary industry. Chuck Wilson, the CEO and Chairman of Babygrande Global, was motivated by these characteristics to initiate a business agreement with Cooks.
“I got a call from my friend Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian who told me that I had to hear this new artist named Stove God Cooks,” Wilson explains. “After listening to his ‘Reasonable Drought’ album produced entirely by Roc Marciano, I knew instantly that I was listening to an elite, once-in-a-generation lyricist that could also write and sing hooks as catchy and as soulful as any artist I had ever heard before. Soon thereafter, I offered Cooks the largest record deal in the 20 year history of the company and we closed the sale. I can’t wait for the world to hear all of the fantastic songs that he’s recorded for his new album.”
Cooks has progressively established a countrywide audience, which is how he’s won the right to travel with Conway The Machine on his “Love Will Get You Killed” tour. Cooks is direct support
