Western Sydney-based drill artist VTA has released a new single, ‘Deep in the Street’ through B.A.M Records, alongside an accompanying music video shot by The Last Addition. The track was produced by Sefru, and mastering is courtesy of Gambino.

This is just VTA’s second official single, preceded by ‘The Weekend’. VTA has spoken about the inspiration and motivating factors that pushed him to write ‘Deep in the Street’:

The experiences that VTA speaks of can be found front and center within the lyrical content of ‘Deep in the Street’: he raps about being introduced to guns at a young age, becoming desensitised to his environment, and becoming confident within it. VTA’s uncompromising, hard-hitting delivery makes the song take on somewhat of a celebratory tone, while also containing denser lyrical moments at times. The production is a pairing of acoustic guitar with an uptempo drill beat - a combination that Sefru appears to have down to a T. The music video features imagery from the suburbs of Claymore, Lalor Park and Blacktown; places where the events VTA describes often take place.
