Thursday saw relatively unknown artist ,Coi Leray drop a gem with the hit song “Slide” featuring guarantee billboard charter himself, Gunna.

Coi Leray is a name that has been synonymous with the rap game for a minute now, as her father is Benzino, a prominent hip hop executive and at one time co-owner of Hip Hop Magazine The Source. In addition, her brother Chavo is also an upcoming force in the rap game, teaming with the likes of Pi’erre Bourne to grace his beats. 

​

From the beginning, Leray has been groomed for the game. From the young age of seventeen, Leray has had a head start to her contemporaries as she has not just been stuck making music but has been given the ability to express herself in a multitude of ways. The peculiar thing about Coi is that she has had the luxury of being around success at a high level.

Although, since a recent split with her high profile ex, Trippie Redd, we have never seen Coi in an unfavorable situation such as this. At this stage of her career, we knew she was a name that was on the rise, but it seemed the label of “Trippie’s girlfriend” overshadowed her capability to draw genuine listenership.

​

No longer is the case as Valley Visions  brings Coi leray to life in a variety of ways in the official release of her lead record to her EP Now or Never.
