Sleepy Hallow – Winners In Paris

A pretty accurate way to describe Sleepy Hallow would be a Pop Smoke lite. While you might read that as a slight, we in fact mean the total opposite. The late Brooklynite navigated drill with a grimier and darker approach. Additionally, his voice was smoky, gravelly, and had some bassy qualities to it. In the case of Sleepy Hallow, he has a deep cadence too, but not as much. Additionally, most of tracks are more on the melodic and artsy side. Unfortunately, we never got to hear a collab between these two. They would be a great yin and yang, but we can keep dreaming.

The reason we are talking about Sleepy Hallow today is because he has a new single out called “Winners In Paris.” This is the Flatbush, New Yorker’s second solo release of 2024, following up his Valetine’s Day-themed “Cupid’s Guidance.” On “Winners In Paris,” Sleepy is dealing with a woman who he really wants to get with. Unfortunately, he has a hard time changing his old ways and she is not down for the games.

“I’m still myself, ain’t give a f*** who is acceptin’ me / She want the best for me, this what she said to me,” he raps. The beat is minimal, but it gives a summer vibe and Hallow delivers an easy-to-follow flow that is catchy beyond belief. This has the potential to become another “2055” situation and we would not be surprised if it blows up.
