What makes a TikTok smash? As it turns out, it’s the same stuff that has always turned ordinary recordings by unknown artists into monster hits. You’ve got to have a great voice and a great hook. You’ve got to look the part and address the audience with all the swagger you can muster. What’s more, it sure doesn’t hurt to have a dedicated community of fans ready to get excited about an artist and spread the word.
Tyte has all of that working for him — and he knows it. That’s what “Ask Around,” his breakthrough single, is about. So secure is the young rapper about his charisma that he’s not sweating it at all if you haven’t heard of him yet. He figures you’ll know all about him soon enough.
It’s no wonder he’s got his whole city behind him. He’s become a star in the tight-knit, competitive Tallahassee, Florida rap scene and brought one of his fellow riders to the party. Wizz Havinn’s flow is as laid-back, Southern, and syrupy as Tyte’s is cutting and urgent; together, they’re a brutally effective tag team, two sides of the Florida weather, the sunshine and the storm.
