“My Zoom name is Khayree, and I didn’t even realize that,” he says days before embarking on a multi-city tour with Chance the Rapper. “I’m still thrifting. I’m still bike-riding. I’m still enjoying myself and allowing the music to be a vessel of what Khayree is thinking about. I get imposter syndrome the most when I’m not being human enough. So it’s still keeping Khayree alive.”
Despite his superhuman wordplay, La Reezy, you can say, is having his Spider-Man moment. With praise from Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Tyler, the Creator, Reezy had the holy trinity of rap co-signs before he was even old enough to legally drink. Mixtapes such as Welcome La Reezyana Vol. 1 showcased his promise and dexterity, while his debut album, Skiddle Bandana, prided itself on colorful storytelling, charisma and the unwavering charm of a young Black man growing up in real time.
