If you don’t know ØWay by now, you will soon. The rap collective is the hottest thing out of Atlanta right now – so hot that Young Thug wanted to take them under his wing. After an electric show at Irving Plaza in NYC earlier this month, Thug is taking the show on the road, and bringing the kids with him. Here's a quick intro to the rappers joining Young Thug on The New Generation tour.

Tezzus
The ØWay ringleader has infinite energy, no filter, and his brash raps are seriously catchy.

diamond* is one of ØWay’s key artists alongside Tezzus, Pz’, and Sk8star. His run-on, singsong flow skates across any beat.
1300SAINT
Tezzus, Pz', and 1300SAINT (L to R).
Atlanta-via-Maryland rapper 1300SAINT has a melodic knack for lodging random phrases in your brain and his pinched raps have steadily improved with each new release.
iyrus
The Philly rapper is a collaborator of Chicago rapper kels! and Nigerian rapper Paxslim. He’s a new addition to the ØWay–YSL axis.
