The 21-year-old plays it close to the vest with his coy interviews and his hat tilted to the side, often letting his music do most of the talking for him, unlike a lot of his college-aged Hip Hop compatriots.<\/p>\n<p>With a keen ear for production, Sleepy understands song-building and what sounds best complement his rugged flow, which is often brought out of him when working alongside Winners Circle producer Great John. For example, give his ominous Sheff G collab \u201cTip Toe\u201d a listen. The frightening sample that would be best suited for a horror movie was actually Sleepy\u2019s idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just walked in with this crazy idea,\u201d Winners Circle manager\u00a0Jeremy \u201cJerm\u201d Soto recalled of Sleepy picking out the eerie sample in an interview with <em>Complex<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re all looking at him funny\u2014like, \u2018What is this?\u2019 He\u2019s like, \u2018No, watch.\u2019 John made the beat real quick. Then [Sleepy] went in there and freestyled off the top of his head, and history was made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sleepy Hallow ft.

He patiently built the necessary buzz around the city with <em>Sleepy For President\u2019<\/em>s arrival before his team entered negotiations with RCA Records. WCE struck a partnership deal in August 2020 with RCA for Sleepy to go major and he\u2019ll now have the label machine at his back for future releases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinners Circle is not just a clique, they\u2019re a movement,\u201d RCA president Mark Pitts said in a statement coinciding with the deal. \u201cHip Hop is continuously evolving, and they are ushering in the next wave of the culture. To paraphrase the great [Notorious B.I.G.], that Brooklyn bullshit. They on it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A lot can be learned about an artist when they face adversity, and with his Brooklyn upbringing, a certain fearlessness has already been instilled in Sleepy. Long before the days of becoming best friends with Sheff G, Sheff was actually supposed to jump him one day, but Sleepy\u2019s willingness to not back down let Sheff know he was built differently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was like 50 of us, and he\u2019s by himself walking around the block, and we start screaming at him,\u201d Sheff told HipHopDX. \u201cHe dead ass stopped and turned around. So I was like, \u2018Yo, wait. I like him. I think this kid on some different shit.\u2019 After that, we ended up always seeing him, so that\u2019s how we first got cool and shit. I know he was on the same type of time as me because if he wasn\u2019t, he would have ran from us that day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>HipHopDX will continue to watch Sleepy\u2019s moves closely as he heads into his major-label debut.
