From “Goose Coat” to WHOVILLE: Surf7 Is Philly’s Next Breakout Voice

Philadelphia is a smaller musical-market than people may assume, but the last decade has influenced a bubbling movement of young stars busting out of the city’s limits, and West Philadelphia native Surf7 is truly nothing short of a shining prime example from the new wave of notable voices. Breaking the ice immediately with his viral debut single “Goose Coat” earlier this year, his raspy, gritty, bold voice brings the essence of his lyricism and beat selection together into a distinctive listening experience. Listeners can witness this in Surf7’s debut album WHOVILLE, a 17-track collective highlighting the young Philly bubbling star and an overall introduction to the journey of Surf7.
