Multi-hyphenate producer and artist 2hollis is currently on the road, but that's not stopping him from delivering exceptional music. His latest single, "afraid," is a testament to his unique talent. Featuring his tour mate nate sib, the track is a frenetic blend of pyrotechnic production and exhilarating vocals, challenging the boundaries of music creation one blop and bleep at a time.

Dosed in synths and elevated by the duo's atmospheric vocals and internet-era production, the single sees the collaborators connect effortlessly over the glitchy beat. On the hook, 2hollis examines his fears and struggles with his growing fame, asking the void, "How do you deal with change? / Adjusting to fame? / I got hit by a plane / What do you feel when you're awake? Uh / I'm tryna not make a mistake again." He tried to find solace in some higher power, only to be told, "Shut up and laugh and love it."

The accompanying music video is an intimate yet exhilarating video diary. The visual is a high-octane compilation of footage of the track's collaborators who posted up performing the track in a run-down, abandoned warehouse and mall.

2hollis is currently on his sold-out 'Leg Two,' headlining North American Tour, the follow-up to last year's 'Leg One,' which sold out in its entirety within only days of the official reveal. In addition to his headlining tour, 2hollis served a 39-date run as direct support for Ken Carson. In February, 2hollis will travel to New Zealand and Australia for his first shows in both countries, performing at Laneway Festival in six different cities and his own sold-out headlining shows in Sydney and Melbourne. He'll continue touring throughout the year, with additional dates to come in Asia and Europe, and he will perform in April at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival with an exciting debut performance.
