Profiiit - Betty Boo

'Betty Boo' is the grand and ethereal opening track to Profiiit's newest album, 'Alexander' (released: 28/02/22). Being the introduction to the project, Profiiit takes this opportunity to display his rapping skills in full effect after an impactful and lengthy introduction of synths and layered singing.Profiiit is a groundbreaking and restless force in the East Coast US underground rap scene. His style cannot be simply defined in terms of genres due to his insatiable need to constantly move and push his sound to new levels, however influences include J. Cole, Kanye West, Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar and the late XXXTENTACION. Something Profiiit has in common with all of these inspirations is a long endeavour for greatness.
