HipHopDX Exclusive Premiere: Following last week release of his single “Back Drop”, Phenom, a veteran Chicago MC/ spoken word poet releases the “Intro” track and visual to his forthcoming mixtape “Dat Boy Said II.”

Although the track begins with the words, “Meanwhile in Chi-Town,” however, the video starts with visuals of what is still considered to be a grimy part of the Brooklyn borough “Bushwick.” The video shows Phenom in one of his rawest forms performing in the middle of a busy New York City street. No fancy props, no storyline—just Phenom, the streets, people, and a camera. Phenom states that no matter what the popular sound of the industry is he will continue the mission and that is to do “Hip Hop Forever Boiiii…”

With recent ties to Chance The Rapper and Open Mike Chicago, Phenom has been expanding his fan base since his 2015 release of his album I Didn’t Come I Was Sent.
