Prolific French producer Stwo has announced his Prove EP — out March 3rd via Ultra Records — and released its dreamy title track today. “Prove” is a delicately woven piece with crisp, subdued percussion, underlying warm synth waves and enticing vocal samples. The track is a welcomed addition to a catalog that includes acclaimed collaborations with the likes of Sevdaliza, Jeremih, and The-Dream (alongside production for 6LACK and Drake). With singles like the just-released “Go Back” and “Prove,” Stwo continues to embody the level of quality that’s led him to support from the likes of Pitchfork and The FADER for his “immaculately produced soundscapes.”
Stwo is a Parisian artist who is considered one of the most talented producers in hip-hop. Growing up in a musical family, he began experimenting with instruments and joined a band at a young age. However, it was the explosive French Touch scene who truly ignited his musical passions. He immediately decided to try and make electronic music of his own, downloading digital audio workstation Logic Pro.
It was when he began combining this love for electronic music with the sounds of hip-hop that Stwo’s career really began to take off. In particular, hearing Drake’s seminal Nothing Was The Same album proved to be a pivotal moment for him. He began making music inspired by the seminal album and was then asked to come out to Toronto by Drake’s producer Noah “40” Shebib to work on new music.
Before long he was collaborating with some of the biggest names on the scene, including Frank Ocean, Jeremih, Roy Woods, Majid Jordan and Nosaj Thing, and amassing hundreds of millions of streams. Fast-forward to 2023, and Stwo is ready now prepared to release the Prove EP.
