What’s next for slayr?👀🔥
After the success of Half Blood, Slayr isn't necessarily looking to reinvent himself. Instead, he's focused on refining the sound that brought him this far. "My whole goal now is to just continue with what I got," he explains. "I feel like I'm in a way easier spot if I just kind of stick to my roots instead of trying to be bigger and grander.” Slayr says his next project is being built around a clearer concept.
"I feel like this concept is way more upfront than my previous shit," he says. "There's a real deal thing going on more than just me throwing shit against the wall hoping it worked."
"I'm on my solo shit for sure. I'm feeling very soloist right now," he answers when asked about features on the project. Despite everything he's accomplished, Slayr is still only 19, figuring out who he wants to be as an artist and where he wants to take his music. He's not ready to reveal much about what's next, but he offers one final tease.
"It's a magical sight, man, it's a magical sight."

thank yall sm for this 🫶🏽
Slayr speaking on where can rage go to next and saying how it hasn’t died yet as a genre completely. Also on how the K-POP group Cortis shouted him out earlier this year 👀🔥
Slayr’s approach to rage is more melodic and upbeat than the genre’s usual template, a sign there’s still plenty of room to experiment. And while skeptics have questioned the genre’s longevity, Slayr believes its evolution is inevitable.
“[Rage] can only evolve,” he says. “I feel like people who said it was not gonna evolve before kind of got a slap in the face [...] I remember literally two years ago n****s was saying rage was dying, but now look at it. It can’t die.”
The crossover has even reached Slayr himself.
CORTIS, whose music borrows from underground rage on tracks like "GO!," recently shouted him out, and he returned the love.
That exchange pulled him into a dispute with underground provocateur Matt Proxy, who called him a "token" for the "vultures." "Last time I shouted out a K-pop group it got bad for me," he jokes.
But Slayr seems largely uninterested in prolonging the dispute, having become more selective about where he puts his energy. "I'm kind of like in a room where I know my worth," he says. "I don't want to give my energy out no more. I don't like to respond to shit as much as I used to."

Slayr facing the “negative aura music” encounters from itzbasin infamous tweet about Slayr
Slayr traces much of that backlash to his own fanbase, which he sees as both a blessing and a curse. “They’re gonna bring me up, say I’m better than a lot of people [...] put a lot of other people down just to bring me up, which I don’t appreciate,” he says. In his view, the criticism stems less from genuine dislike of his music than from his fans’ habit of pitting him against other artists. “It’s not really like a hate for me,” he says. “It’s just more of a hate on me to make other people feel bad.”

The creation of Slayrs album “Half blood” 👀🔥
Among them was his 2023 album Gaia, which found him experimenting with orchestral sounds. Still, despite his growing presence in the underground, Slayr wasn’t convinced rapping would become his career. “I was already good at making music so I would just put that into a college professionLike composing or like [sound] engineering or some shit,” he says.
That uncertainty began to fade with Half Blood, which he released last year while still in high school. It was his breakout, led by the effortlessly catchy “Sloppy Joe,” which has since accumulated more than 20 million streams on Spotify.
What makes Half Blood particularly impressive is how much of it Slayr did himself. Working with a handful of co-producers, he handled the writing, recording, mixing, and mastering. The result was a project he describes as a testament to “everything I could do.”
Half Blood and the 2026 deluxe edition were also a hit crtically, earning has earned praise from critics, including YouTube critic Anthony Fantano, whose positive review Slayr says he was "honored" to receive.

Another of Slayrs of influences that made him what he is today is no other than Playboi Carti and Opium 👀🔥
You can tell when it comes to Carti that it’s too easy for the nigga to do it, and it still comes off as crazy,” he says. Learning that much of Carti’s music was freestyled only deepened his appreciation. “When I learned that, I was like, wow. You can make shit like [...] ‘Stop Breathing’ just going in?” Slayr takes a similar approach in the booth, often freestyling his verses and punching in as he goes.
He credits Carti and the Opium collective with shaping everything from how artists dress to who they work with. "They shaped how n****s dress, shaped how niggas view rage, shaped how n****s make rage," he says. "They the Gods of this shit."
