Kresnt Pays Homage to Early 2000s Southern Rap with “GRILLZZ”

TLDR: Kresnt drops his first single of 2025 with “GRILLZZ,” a Southern hip-hop-inspired banger produced by audiodrugz. The track pays homage to the early 2000s era of grillz, lowriders, and iced-out swagger, blending nostalgia with Kresnt’s signature style.


Afghan-Canadian artist Kresnt is back with a blazing new single titled “GRILLZZ,” a nostalgic ride that takes listeners straight back to the golden era of early 2000s Southern hip-hop.

Drawing heavy inspiration from icons like Paul Wall and Nelly, the track is a confident ode to a time when gold and diamond grillz, candy-painted lowriders, and iced-out chains ruled the culture.

“GRILLZZ” isn’t just about flashy aesthetics it’s a sonic throwback crafted with intention. The track is brought to life by South African producer audiodrugz, whose résumé includes work with 3MFrench, No 1 Noah, Nessly, Eric Reprid, Merkules, and LocoCity. Known for his ability to blend hard-hitting drums with smooth, atmospheric production, audiodrugz lays down a beat that perfectly matches Kresnt’s laid-back, charismatic delivery.

Whether you grew up blasting “Grillz” by Nelly or just appreciate that era’s swagger, “GRILLZZ” taps into that energy and updates it with Kresnt’s own flavour. “GRILLZZ” is more than just a flex it’s a moment, a mood, and a salute to the era that made shiny teeth and slow rides a cultural staple.

Stream it now and ride slow.
