Tweek Tune and 27Delly Drop "Bad One" With VFILES LAB
As part of the downtown NYC streetwear imprint’s artist incubator program.
VFILES LAB is looking to propel the next generation of talent.
An incubator and discovery platform with a “mandate to discover, educate, and empower cultural creators from underrepresented and underpowered communities,” the program is bringing underground NYC musicians to the fore with a year-long fellowship designed to help artists achieve their creative and business goals.
Among those enrolled in the savvy incubator are Grammy-nominated engineer and producer, Tweek Tune, who connected with up-and-coming Harlem rapper 27Delly to release a new track, titled “Bad One,” under the VFILES LAB banner. The single arrives alongside an electric music video, in which the rapper’s silhouette performs choreography against various colored backdrops, much like old school iTunes ads.
On the project, Tweek told Hypebeast, “‘Bad One’ got the city dancing again, shout out to VFILES for believing in my vision. More music and essence on the way so stay tuned for more uptown bounce.”

VFILES founder Julie Anne Quay added, “With ‘Bad One,’ we’re not just releasing a track—we’re introducing a force. Tweek Tune represents everything VFILES Lab was built to elevate: culture-shifting creativity, real community roots, and an undeniable vision for the future of music. This isn’t just a moment—it’s a tone-setter. It’s the first drop from our upcoming Sounds of NYC EP, a project built to amplify the raw energy, ambition, and originality coming out of the city right now. This isn’t a trend play—it’s a cultural investment. The partnership on this track with our own 27Delly makes this even more special for VFILES.”
