For his latest single, which is set to help him hit the 1 million streams mark, the Virginia Beach trap artist, Tea Sea, collaborated with producers placerbeatz and marni boy to create a determination-driven emo rap anthem.

The River was written for anyone who has tried to make it only to see how many people want the exact opposite for you; the melodically high-fire hit is the ultimate middle finger to the haters. While the electronica instrumentals add a cinematic dystopian flare, the rap bars grind through the juicy fluid hooks that easily ensnare you into Tea Sea’s fiery charisma.

The River, which was recorded at Aesthete Recording Studio in Maryland, will release worldwide on all streaming platforms on October 14th, 2022.

For fans of XXXTENTACION, Juice WRLD and Lil Uzi Vert

Tea Sea said:

“It is all about respect, really. It also explores the hunger for success and the determination to not take no for an answer when people stand in the way of your career goals and attempt to derail them.

I have been writing songs for over 12 years, and I have always had that mindset throughout my journey. This instrumental was made by two producers overseas who are at the grindstone endlessly trying to realize their full potential too.”

Amelia Vandergast, Executive Editor at A&R Factory said:

“With his killer cadence, dynamite vocal dynamism, and determination to connect with the disillusioned and disenfranchised with his music, Tea Sea’s music grips you with a rare veracity that makes it easy to see why he’s garnering so much hype. The River may just be his most viscerally fresh track to date.”
