midwxst is back to share his new single “no handouts.” In his first release since the July mixtape BACK IN ACTION 4.0, midwxst affirms his staying power and all that’s in store singing, “I’m in for a long time, know I’m here to stay.” The music video directed by Neve Abcari flashes between midwxst in scenes of freedom and chaos in an open landscape and weathering a storm. More directly, the 21-year-old uses the track to share advice, encouraging those weathering their own challenges to persevere.

“no handouts” follows BACK IN ACTION 4.0, the latest in midwxst’s mixtape series known for its apocalyptic production and explosive vocal performances. The project highlights his creative evolution, blending his love for car culture with a relentless drive and growing confidence. This sound shines in singles like “E30”, “FIRE” featuring DC the Don, and “GUN SMOKE,” where midwxst delivers untouchable bars over booming 808s.

Last September, midwxst, born Edgar Sarratt III, released his debut album E3, which provided listeners a path forward through relationships, identity formation, and the internet. midwxst enlisted industry veterans and session musicians to soundtrack what he described as a “fairytale gone wrong,” serving as an intricate painting of love in all its forms and evolutions.
