Seattle rapper Highway is making huge waves in the Pacific Northwest hip-hop scene. Locals are riding hard for this emerging rapper, creating a solid foundation and momentum that’s steadily spreading him across the nation. Highway just started releasing music on mainstream platforms in 2020 but has been dropping tracks on Soundcloud for 5 years now, garnering hundreds of thousands of streams.
Highway is much more than just a rapper, he is also a producer, writer, and performer who’s been creating music since he was seven. He has an authentic and confident sound, which is no surprise being he comes from a lineage of rappers. His bars let loose an unapologetic truth that’s authentic and raw.
As an artist, Highway has worked with producers like Billboard charting Jetsonmade and John Luther of Internet Money. As a producer, Highway has produced for huge names like Chief Keef and Duwap Kaine. Though he’s collaborated with many musicians, he keeps his solo projects pretty bare. This proves he can carry a track on his own and doesn’t need other rappers to support him.

His latest track, “Count Fast Island” vulnerably expresses his emotions with a music video to accompany that visualizes the authenticity. The aesthetic of the video accurately portrays Highway’s identity. He’s not like most modern rappers who seem to rely on flexing their wealth. He doesn’t waste time flaunting designer and fancy things, instead, he keeps his style simplistic and low-key. Though he boasts the occasional flex, for the most part, he focuses on the music and his expression of it. Watch “County Fast Island” below.
