80 Proof Inc. signees and visually awe-inspiring artists 300 Rez and DK Guwop come together to form the outlandish duo 300lbs of Guwop. As the lead vocalist, 300 Rez is known for the inescapable deep tone of his voice and infectious anthem-like hooks, while DK Guwop provides an equally eccentric element to their music with his energetic demeanor and out-of-the-box lyrics. The Daytona, FL artists cement that same quirky notion with their jetsonmade-produced single “Teefus” — an undeniable, hard-hitting effort that finds 300lbs of Guwop sharing their lighthearted lifestyle and infusing it with unadulterated enjoyment the only way they know. Within an industry filled with carbon copies, 300 and DK prove to have an remarkably distinctive style. Expect 300lbs of Guwop’s official Ryan Lightbourn-directed music video for “Teefus” in the near future.
