A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie shares introspective new single ‘Part Of Me’

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie has returned with the introspective new single ‘Part Of Me’ – check it out below.

The Bronx rapper and songwriter last released new music with his fifth studio album ‘Better Off Alone’ in May 2024, which included the single ‘Steppas’ and featured guest appearances from Young Thug, Lil Durk and Future.

Now, he has premiered his new single ‘Part Of Me’, which he has released via Highbridge The Label/Atlantic Records. The track includes an interpolation of Mariah Carey’s 2005 smash hit ‘We Belong Together’ and sees A Boogie reflecting on the pain of a lost relationship.

The rapper delivers softly spoken verses over a mellow and echoey minimal beat, with reflective synthesised atmospherics lending a sense of struggle and vulnerability. Listen to the track here:

A Boogie toured North America and Europe in the summer of 2024 in support of ‘Better Off Alone’, including a scheduled show in Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena, which ended up becoming something of a fiasco.

The venue was set to open for the first time in April 2024, but the building was not ready in time to open, and missed its first concerts. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie at one point was set to perform the venue’s inaugural show on May 1, but that show had to be cancelled at the last minute too due to a “venue-related technical issue”.

It later emerged that the show was called off after a part of the ventilation system fell from the ceiling during A Boogie’s soundcheck. “If that was 15 minutes later, something catastrophic could have happened,” the chief executive of the arena’s operator later said.

In the end, A Boogie’s Manchester show was held at the AO Arena across town on May 4.

On a previous trip to the UK in 2022, A Boogie found himself being arrested at Wireless Festival in London just before he was set to take the stage. He later apologised to fans, saying the arrest was “for something I was accused of two years ago”.
