here it is if you must:
Unlocking the Mystery of Stitches, the Rapper Behind “Brick in Yo Face” | NOISEY: “As far as breakout singles go, Stitches’ ‘Brick In Yo Face’ is nonpareil. Its beat wheezes and lurches like a freight train as conducted by Godzilla as Stitches bellows, ‘I LOVE SELLIN’ BLOW!!!’ over and over again, like a team of sirens trying to lure Odysseus to their lands with the promise of gigantic fucking brick of cocaine. Its video, meanwhile, is devastatingly straightforward, almost comically so. Linebacker-size, Stitches cuts an imposing figure, especially when screaming, gun in hand, in front of a trap house with a battalion of likeminded goons. His boasts about selling blow are complemented by shots of him exchanging bricks for trash bags of cash, as well as a dude with a Hellraiser mask throwing a brick of the Chelsea Clinton around an empty room, chimp-style. The overall effect of the song and its accompanying video leads you feeling like you’ve been shot in the face with an AK-47. This has more than a little to do with the fact that Stitches literally has an AK-47 tattooed on his face.
‘I got it ‘cuz it’s my favorite gun,’ Stitches says over the phone, nonchalant, as if tattooing the image of a heavily-regulated firearm above your right jawbone was the most normal thing in the world. ‘I got it when I was 16.’ This pragmatic attitude of Thing-A-Yields-Thing-B permeates every facet of how Stitches communicates. When I ask how the video went viral, he tells me, ‘I was planning on that a couple weeks before it dropped. I knew it was going to be big.’
Stitches and I are talking on the phone because I, along with a substantial portion of the rap-consuming internet, want to know more about him. Though he’s given a few interviews in the past, he’s divulged little, perhaps out of a wish to avoid self-incrimination, perhaps because no one was asking the right questions. The lack of information, along with the feeling that the Stitches shtick is a little too perfect for capturing the Internet’s attention, creates the distinct feeling that there’s something off about the whole story. Where the fuck did the dude actually come from? How the fuck did he hit so big, so fast?”
