Glaive Unveils New Song 'tijuana freestyle'

Breakout star glaive has debuted a new single, “tijuana freestyle,” alongside a self-shot and directed video.

“tijuana freestyle” arrives on the heels of glaive’s latest EP, a bit of a mad one, which he shared earlier this year—listen here. The new music was recorded during a trip to Alaska with longtime producer Jeff Hazin (aldn, renforshort), Ralph Castelli (Dora Jar, Jesse®) and new collaborator John Cunningham (Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X).

glaive is set to support The Kid Laroi on his highly anticipated “The First Time Tour” this summer. The extensive North American run, which kicks off this month, includes stops at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ The Torch, Washington, D.C.’s The Anthem, Chicago’s Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom and more. See below for complete tour routing. 

Growing up in the small town of Hendersonville, North Carolina, glaive first started making music during the pandemic, collaborating with friends he met online, forming musical collectives and experimenting with production. His subsequent rise was meteoric, powered by a steady stream of new music that quickly earned him acclaim and a devoted following. glaive’s debut album, i care so much that i dont care at all, was released to widespread praise in July 2023 on Interscope Records. His three previous EPs—cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven (plus its deluxe edition old dog, new tricks) and then i’ll be happy with ericdoa—have also received critical acclaim, landing him at the top of “Best Of” lists from The New York Times, The FADER and more.
