“New Orleans collective glbl wrmng has shared the video for “504” featuring Pell, Kr3wcial, and Sleazy EZ, which highlights the bright colors and sounds present across the city, as well as pays tribute to the late producer Niyo Davinci.”

‘Music is quite literally built into the city infrastructure of New Orleans. Our airport is named after a musician—Louis Armstrong. There’s a Music Street, a Tuba Fats Square, and the Musicians’ Village. Yet when it comes to a music-business infrastructure, there is a dearth of resources.’
- Amanda Mester

“His new album, GLBL WRMNG, presents Pell as more than just a rhymer, as he also rolls out initiatives around recycling and gardening to give back to the block throughout the year. Show your love for a young G making green in a positive way by adding this song to your collection.”

“After the commercial success of their debut album “glbl wrmng vol. 1,” the collective has been busy elevating the voices of N.O.’s emerging and marginalized artists on new, future-forward platforms. The recent announcements of two partnerships with tech companies Qrates and Myxstem will afford the group many more options for doing just that.”

“At the heart of the music lies New Orleans’ resilience: It’s a city that knows the true, devastating reality of climate change, and surrounding that is a stunning display of the artists and producers revitalizing, reinventing, and redefining NOLA’s music scene.”

RESPECT MAGAZINE
“Glbl Wrmng vol. 1 aims to capture the beauty, vibrancy, and, most importantly, resiliency of New Orleans — a city that can attest to the harsh realities of climate change — while simultaneously showcasing the artists and producers who are reinventing (and heating up) the city’s sound. The album explores themes of positivity, community, trust, freedom of expression and is described as “A Welcome To The City” by Pell.”

‘In New Orleans music, community can often run deep in more ways than one. GLBL WRMNG's debut Vol. 1 features lyrics about staying grounded during times of struggle by keeping close to your community, and GLBL WRMNG itself is a community effort.’

“There are a lot of voices featured and hands in the mix on GLBL WRMNG’s “Vol. 1,” and the intention is clear: Pay attention, this is New Orleans hip-hop today, and if the mainstream music industry doesn’t elevate the city’s musicians, they’ll do it themselves.” - Jake Clapp
Consequence
“Everyone has experienced some sort of loneliness since the beginning of quarantine and I think this was a huge inspiration for the song. There’s those moments when someone says they love you but you’re unsure what that really means until it’s put to the test. In some ways giving people their space during this time — even someone you’re romantically involved with, is love.”
- Ben Kaye

“Musically, vol. 1 touches on several different sounds and sub-styles within the hip-hop super umbrella, likely due to the wide range of contributors that played a role in this project.”
