“Listerine,” a collaborative single by 808wrld featuring SSGKobe, MALKIEM!, and zvch, has become one of the more buzzed-about tracks from late 2025, combining streaming success with an official appearance on the Billboard charts and notable ties to Seattle’s music scene.

The song quickly drew attention on streaming platforms. It reached the No. 1 spot on Spotify’s daily charts in Luxembourg shortly after release, indicating strong international engagement early in its run. The track also made its way to the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at #15 in November.

808wrld is a rising music producer and A&R from Seattle known for creating hard-hitting trap beats, working with artists like Lil Durk, Fiveo Foreign, and Ski Mask the Slump God. His music is characterized by modern trap, blending hip-hop with electronic elements, aiming for recognizable, boundary-pushing sounds.

SSGKobe, while internationally known for earlier breakout hits, has collaborated here in a way that ties him to the Pacific Northwest circuit through working with 808wrld and the other collaborators. MALKIEM! and zvch round out the featured lineup, each adding distinct vocal styles to the track.

Seattle has historically produced influential hip-hop and rap artists and cultivated a scene that values experimental blends of genres. While the city is perhaps best known for earlier rap figures and producers who broke through on broader charts, artists like 808wrld represent a newer generation grabbing attention on digital platforms and official charts alike.
