#OGM #DomCorleo #OurGenerationMusic
Many of the burgeoning stars in today’s hip-hop underground, whether they classify themselves as rage or pluggnb, have one thing in common: Knowing Dom Corleo.
Raised predominantly around the Bay Area in California, Dom’s start in rap around five years ago has led him to encounter many of the new wave’s finest, long before they made a name for themselves in streaming and on TikTok. SoFaygo, Slump6s, Autumn!, Summrs and Xhulooo are just a few who have been connected with Corleo prior to their respective blow-ups - exemplifying Dom’s ear for great music and star potential. “You can always tell [when an artist will blow-up], it’s just somebody’s mindset,” he said. “You’ll be like, Yeah he gon’ go up, because he worked for this sh*t.’”
To help attract these loyal listeners, Corleo has had a busy 2022. Along with dropping his Travis Scott-inspired March project ‘Forgive Me For My Sins,’ singles like August’s “Penthouse Shordy,” which has eclipsed 800,000 plays on Spotify, and last month’s Yung Lean-inspired “Ginseng” have built a great deal of momentum for the young enigma. His unnamed, upcoming project is poised to be another strong outing from the budding new wave star, as he continues to collect co-signs like Infinity Stones.
Amid his rise to underground acclaim, Dom chatted with OGM host Hakeem Rowe to speak on his recent song with Destroy Lonely, the effectiveness of group chats for underground artists, meeting Lancey Foux, living in Arizona, his influences, dealing with trolls and much more in our latest Our Generation Music exclusive interview.
