In the video, TateKo has the time of his life at a photoshoot, doing his dance with video vixens and showing off his trophy collection. Directed by Trent Munson, the video is a showcase of Tate’s cheeky charisma, explaining why he’s one of the most notable stars in the DMV rap scene. Released in May and praised by The Washington Post, who said the song “shows his playful spirit and willingness to try different forms” and “the hook’s lullaby structure will make it nearly impossible to not have “Stop the World” planted in your mind during — and after — listening,” “Stop The World’ was Tate’s first new solo song of the year, following “Pink M&Ms,” a collaboration with fellow Baltimore native Lor Sosa.
Tate Kobang broke out in a big way in 2015 when he released “Bank Rolls (Remix),” a new version of Tim Trees’ Baltimore classic “Bank Roll,” named one of the best songs of the year by Pitchfork, NPR, and Pigeons & Planes. Since then, Tate has done his part to elevate the rap scene in his hometown and the greater DMV, following his muse into a variety of rap styles and collaborating with artists like K CAMP. He’s established himself as a go-to producer, recently making the beat for “Fractions,” a single from Nicki Minaj’s recent album. Now signed to Rostrum Records, TateKo is looking to stop the world with his talent, and prepare for his imminent re-emergence as a major voice in rap today.
