"METAL ON MY TEETH" is the first single off TAPZ GALLANTINO’s debut album, “ALL FOR WHAT” arriving this summer. The Zimbabwe native fuses his punk rock and R&B background to form his unique brand of PUNK R&B. Written, produced, and performed by TAPZ GALLANTINO, he brings his trademark grit and spitfire lyricism to “METAL ON MY TEETH” – a thundering foot stomper of a sonic experience with an adrenaline-boosting chorus that chants “They don’t make them like us no more...”

The track documents his quest for peace in a world that has offered him little to none. Referencing his collective experiences as a black nomad, exploring the combination of political tension and black culture, he sings “I put metal on my teeth, it’s the only time I feel inner peace, smiling. Because the piece that they’re serving in these streets is the type to leave no peace.” TAPZ further explains, “I spent my youth predominantly in an internal culture clash, moving from Zimbabwe when I was ten to the first world created that internal complex. Rock n Roll and Hip hop culture served as an escape, the TV screen playing Jimi Hendrix and Lil Wayne was my mirror. Silver Metal Grills are poetic for me. To me they serve as the right of passage to the first metal you choose to bite, especially in a world of limited choice where we’re forced to bite or even worse – swallow the bullet.”
