Originally released in mid October of 2019, JoshSimmons released the now chilled trap tune known as “Pressure”. But where did it come from? He and those around him are buzzing with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Scrolling through beat after beat to find that next sound, and then it happens! A face lights up and a hum, followed by mumbled words come out the mouth of the then 20 year old rapper. As his energy picks up so does his confidence, “This is the One”. Of an unassuming amount of beat selections, after browsing thoroughly through, finally a decision is made. Pressure is created.
