Fast-rising Nigerian born London-based rapper, $tevoxcv has released a new single titled “Paper Chase”. The single which is off his forthcoming tape "Nights in Gidi" comes as a follow-up to the critically acclaimed "In Deep" and “Hypnotized” (featuring David Meli) which were released earlier in the year and in 2021 respectively. The record is characterised by a wavy beat, a chain of entertaining rhymes and lyrics which highlight the inability and unwillingness of one to fall in love. This deprivation of the finer things in life, is due to a determination on the part of the artist to be financially stable, prior to letting his guard down and completely embracing his emotions. It also briefly touches on the lifestyle and daily struggles of the artist as a young individual.

One unmissable element on this song over the wavy production by BMN STILL is $tevoxcv’s storytelling dexterity, as he reflects on his worst days and best days in the two punchy verses. For the rapper, “Paper Chase” is an avenue to address personal experiences such as trust issues, adulting and success. Speaking on the new single, $tevoxcv said, "Paper Chase is a reflective and vulnerable record where I speak on issues ranging from trust issues, to difficulties in finding true love and also my ever burning hunger for success”.
