Top Dawg Entertainment‘s Ray Vaughn has dropped off the latest addition to his stacked lineup of recent singles. Joining releases from 2024 thus far – “Problems” with Pusha T and “So Into You (Freestyle)” – comes the hard-hitting “Blasphemy.”

“Newborn tiger, I’m earning my stripes (Stripes) / Crosshair, b*tch, it’s on sight,” the emerging TDE talent enters into the 808-led beat. “Tippy toes if you try reachin’ my height / N***as fantasia can’t read me my rights / I don’t wanna f*ck, you ain’t even my type / N***as wait to see me in person then type / Only person ever put fear in me is Christ.”

Vaughn also continues to establish his unique visual style, revealing “Blasphemy”‘s visual today – which sees the rapper flexing his TDE pride and spitting bars in the middle of a church service. “F*ck up the forecast,” he repeats on the catchy post-chorus.

When TDE’s list of 2024 releases surfaced earlier this year, Vaughn’s name was on the list alongside Doechii, SZA, Jay Rock and many other big names. ScHoolboy Q and SiR were also on the list, both of whom have already dropped projects this year.

Stream “Blasphemy” on Spotify and Apple Music now.
