HDBeenDope: The ‘In Closing’ rollout plus ‘And Even Better’ EP teaser are the perfect one-two punch

I have rocked out with HDBeenDope for the past couple of years and when it comes to putting out anthems - simply said - he always delivers. So it’s no shocker his ‘In Closing’ tune goes hard alongside the teaser for his And Even Better EP.

It’s all about preparing for greatness with an EP slated to arrive in the coming days by getting this standout audio gem, ‘In Closing,’ ready for the weekend goals. Tap in.

Brooklyn-born artist HDBeenDope releases his new single “IN CLOSING” via Roc Nation Distribution, setting the tone for his upcoming EP,  And Even Better, arriving April 22.

“IN CLOSING” introduces this next chapter with a confident yet introspective energy, offering an early glimpse into the themes that shape his upcoming EP. HD leans into a reflective cadence, grounding the track in ideas of growth and self-awareness. Lines like, “The further you get, you learn this insidious game / You’ll make it out but what you didn’t amaze / We bringing the change,” underscore a hard-earned perspective, reinforcing the record’s focus on evolution, resilience, and a drive toward meaningful change—core themes that carry throughout And Even Better.

Coming off the heels of his latest single, “Figure Four (Extended),” HDBeenDope continues to signal a new sonic direction defined by both intensity and intention, marking a pivotal moment in his evolving sound. Together, the releases build a cohesive flow leading into And Even Better, a project rooted in growth, self-definition, and purpose-driven storytelling. The release is also supported by an official visual (watch HERE), expanding the world of the project even further.

Boasting over 300,000 monthly Spotify listeners and millions of YouTube views across his catalog, HD has built consistent momentum through standout releases including “Byrd,” “Mamba,” and “Top.” His music has earned placements with EA Sports’ Madden 2021, the NBA 2K League, the NFL’s Songs of the Season program, CBS Sports, Beats by Dre, and Nike. Most recently, Stephen A. Smith spotlighted his track “Move” during a broadcast segment, further amplifying attention on his growing catalog. He has also performed at Nyla Symone’s Pass The Aux alongside Maiya The Don and Connie Diamond, as well as Rolling Loud NYC, NBA All-Star Weekend 2024, and more.

“IN CLOSING” captures HD in a moment of clarity and momentum, bridging where he’s been with where he’s headed. The release sets the stage for And Even Better, arriving April 22
