Unlocking the Mystery of Stitches, the Rapper Behind “Brick in Yo Face” | NOISEY<\/a>: “As far as breakout singles go, Stitches\u2019 \u2018Brick In Yo Face\u2019 is nonpareil. Its beat wheezes and lurches like a freight train as conducted by Godzilla as Stitches bellows, \u2018I LOVE SELLIN\u2019 BLOW!!!\u2019 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\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n \u2018I got it \u2018cuz it\u2019s my favorite gun,\u2019 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. \u2018I got it when I was 16.\u2019 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, \u2018I was planning on that a couple weeks before it dropped. I knew it was going to be big.\u2019<\/p>\n 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\u2019s given a few interviews in the past, he\u2019s 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?”<\/p>\n (Via <\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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\u2019 \u2018Brick In Yo Face\u2019 is nonpareil.
