Uptoppapi

Philly’s own Uptoppapi blends street grit with spiritual depth, turning survival stories into anthems. From the vibey GBG to the hard-hitting S4TW series and the sharp lyricism of BGSF and GSF, his music carries both the hunger of the grind and the hope of a higher purpose.

Over the past four years, Uptoppapi has carved his lane with back-to-back projects that showcase his versatility. GBG (Gangster Boo Grooves) delivered hypnotic hip-hop designed with the women in mind, featuring fan favorites like “You Know (Money Baby),” “Star (Sixer),” and “ILBB (I Love Bad Bitches).” Before that, S4TW (Sorry 4 The Weight) and its deluxe edition solidified his reputation for storytelling and range, with standout tracks like “Don’t Blow,” “Choices,” “Jadakiss,” “Ok (Thank God),” “PTSD (Savage Up),” “Iverson,” and “RSEW (Realest Shit I Ever Wrote).”

Now with BGSF (Before God Son Freestyles) and GSF (God Son Freestyles), he’s sharpening his lyricism and stepping fully into his dual identity — a voice for the streets and a vessel for something higher. Whether it’s a freestyle over a dusty loop or a polished single built for the vibe, Uptoppapi’s music carries both the hunger of his grind and the hope of his purpose. This isn’t just rap — it’s the sound of survival, resilience, and ascension.
