Massachusetts rapper 8 Zipp, widely regarded as one of the most consistent voices in the state’s hip-hop scene, has returned with a timely new single titled “Cookout,” which dropped yesterday. Released alongside a video snippet on Instagram, the track features collaborations with Snyp life and Blaze Gee, bringing a laid back energy just in time for the summer season.
“It’s a summertime cookout you smell that ☠️🥩,” 8 Zipp wrote in the caption, offering fans a taste of the mood and intention behind the track. The production was handled by Frank Nino, while the accompanying video clip, directed by Loot, offers a casual but cohesive visual—matching the theme of a relaxed, no-frills backyard cookout vibe with a lyrical edge. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels rooted in community, tying together local talent with artists.
The single is now live on major platforms, adding to what’s already shaping up to be a busy summer for the artist.
