Hot 100 First-Timers: BossMan Dlow Scores His First Chart Hit With ‘Get In With Me’
Written by djfrosty on February 13, 2024
Up-and-coming rapper BossMan Dlow hits the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with his breakthrough single, “Get In With Me.”
The song, released Jan. 19 on Alamo Records, debuts at No. 68 on the Feb. 17-dated chart with 8.4 million U.S. streams (up 89%) and 367,000 radio airplay audience impressions in the Feb. 2-8 tracking week, according to Luminate.
“The debut feels amazing,” the Florida native tells Billboard. “I’m still wondering how the hell a guy from Port Salerno made it this far and has a song on the Hot 100. I’m excited to see how far the song can go, and grateful for those listening.”
BossMan Dlow is new to Billboard’s charts. “Get In With Me” became his first overall chart entry last week when it debuted at No. 46 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It jumps to No. 24 on the latest list, while beginning at No. 18 on Hot Rap Songs.
Social media has been a central factor in the song’s surging profile. The track originated as an impromptu freestyle on the Jacksonville, Fla.-based freestyle series Kreepin Through the Streetz. A clip of BossMan Dlow performing that freestyle went viral on his Instagram and TikTok pages, and that video has since soundtracked more than 130,000 clips on TikTok to date. The initial video of him freestyling has also garnered over 8 million views on the platform.
BossMan Dlow, 25, was born and raised in Port Salerno and broke through in the Florida hip-hop scene with his tracks “The Biggest” featuring YTB Fatt, “Phil Jackson” and “Rotation.” He has released two full-lengths: Too Slippery in January 2023, and its sequel 2 Slippery, Dec. 20. The latter marked his first release on Alamo.
The rapper also bounds from No. 34 to No. 16 on the Emerging Artists chart.
