Ty Splash, a rising star in the music industry, made a significant mark with his hit song Smoke Blow, featuring $plash Herbs. Released in 2020, the song quickly gained popularity, spiking to 10k plays within its first month. Reflecting on its success, Ty Splash describes the track as a vibe, one that represents a time when he and his little brother were living fast in the streets of Atlanta—smoking weed, driving around in a new Benz, and simply living life. During this period, Ty Splash and his brother made the decision to take music seriously, despite still being deeply entrenched in street life. Ty Splash describes this time as “one foot in and one foot out,” balancing music with the chaotic life of the streets. The release of Smoke Blow and several other tracks soon garnered attention, with many of their peers recognizing the potential Ty Splash had in music if he truly dedicated himself. The song itself became a summer anthem, perfect for sitting back, smoking with friends, and simply chilling.
The next chapter of Ty Splash’s musical evolution came with the release of MollyXBeans, a song that delves into a darker phase of his life. The track was born from his struggle to leave the streets behind and fully immerse himself in a creative career. Ty Splash opens up about the emotional toll of walking away from the fast money of the streets, knowing that the shift to pursuing music could mean financial instability in the short term. The pressure was immense, especially with a family to support. During this period, Ty Splash found himself turning to drugs—not just using, but abusing them as a way to cope with the stresses of his new reality. However, he acknowledges that this painful phase ultimately led him to make a critical decision: to take a risk and pursue a path that would lead to long-term success and stability, rather than one that could result in jail or death. Ty Splash kept his chin up, stayed focused on his creativity, and this commitment has since opened doors for him, such as working with Zaytoven in the studio and gaining recognition for his music and clothing collaborations with ilovefastmoney.
Looking ahead, Ty Splash is preparing to release his next project, As They Come…, an album entirely featuring $plash Herbs. The album captures their journey from street kids to creators, with each song reflecting the challenges they’ve faced in their lives. The title itself, As They Come…, embodies the essence of the project—each track was crafted in response to the tough situations that arose in their lives, marking their transition from adolescence to adulthood. Creating the album took over a year, not just due to the work put into the music, but because of the personal struggles Ty Splash and $plash Herbs were both navigating during that time. From dealing with family drama and betrayal from friends to making the sacrifices needed for growth, the album is a powerful reflection of their real-life experiences in 2024. As they look toward 2025, Ty Splash and $plash Herbs are determined to release music consistently, driven by a renewed sense of purpose. They are focused on carving out their own lane in the music industry, blending the classic sound of boom bap hip hop with the fresh energy of today’s youth. Ty Splash’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and the unwavering belief that success is attainable through perseverance and artistic dedication. With a clearer mind and a better situation, the duo is ready to dominate the music game and deliver their unique sound to the world.
