Old Streets

"Old Streets" is a song by American rapper 2KBaby, released on June 27, 2019. It is his breakout song and the lead single from his debut studio album Pregame Rituals. An official remix of the song featuring American rapper Lil Durk was released on March 27, 2020 and also appears on the album.

Background and promotion

"Old Streets" was produced by 2KBaby's brother Busta Keys and is the first song that he ever produced. It is also one of the first songs in which 2KBaby performs in his melodic style. When Busta Keys played the beat for 2KBaby, the rapper started freestyling on it. They ran outside and shot a short video from a phone of him singing the song a cappella. The clip went viral on social media during the summer of 2019. It eventually caught the attention of music entrepreneur Roger Gengo, who then signed him to his label Masked Records.

Composition

The song finds 2KBaby combining rapping and singing, lyrically reflecting on the hardships and obstacles he faced when growing up while still nostalgically remembering his life on his street in the past.
