Tegan Joshua Anthony Chambers (born December 20, 1999), known professionally as Sleepy Hallow,[2] is a Jamaican-American rapper who specializes in Brooklyn drill.[3] Born in Jamaica, Chambers was raised in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York City alongside frequent collaborator Sheff G.[4][5]

Signing with Winners Circle Entertainment in 2019, the label entered a joint venture with RCA Records the following year. Chambers first saw recognition for his 2019 single, "Flows" (with Sheff G).[6] His 2020 single, "Deep End Freestyle" (featuring Fousheé) received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.[7] His 2021 single, "2055" peaked at number 51 on the chart.[8]

Early life

[edit]

As a child, Chambers immigrated from Jamaica to the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York City. Around the age of 12, he started to rap. He later picked the name "Sleepy Hallow" as his rap name as that was his name in the streets. Chambers dropped out of school in the ninth grade.[9] He first met friend and collaborator Sheff G when the two were preparing to fight, but stopped when Sheff G was impressed with how Chambers carried himself.[10]

Career

[edit]

He, Sheff G, and DizzyGotBands were signed to former NFL player Junior Galette's music record label Nula Entertainment from 2017 to 2018.[11]

In 2019, Sleepy Hallow released his debut mixtape, Don't Sleep.[12] In the same year, Winners Circle Entertainment was founded, with Sleepy Hallow as one of the first signees.[13]

In 2020, he released his second mixtape, Sleepy for President.[14][15] The mixtape featured the hit single "Deep End Freestyle" featuring Fousheé, which peaked on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart at number 80 on June 20, 2020.[16] The single has over 85 million streams and was certified gold by RIAA in August 2020.[17][7]

In May 2022, he released his single "Die Young", which features Canadian rapper 347aidan, and was considered the best Shortest Trend Song on Instagram in July of 2023 according to YouTubers Jordan and Salish Matter, Peyton Delu, and the Royalty Family, as well as "one of the best songs on Spotify" by Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill.

In September 2022, he released his single "2 Mins of Pain".[22]

In May 2023, Sleepy Hallow was charged in a 140-count indictment, as the district attorney's office said the gang is linked to 12 shootings and a murder that was caught on camera.[24]

On September 15, 2023, Sleepy Hallow released “Boy Meets World", his second studio album since getting out of jail. It features songs such as "GBG" featuring Marshmello and "Anxiety" featuring Doechii.[citation needed]
