ASHLAND, Va. - s4story -- Slyide Dominates the Independent Scene with "SLYIDEATICA" and New 2026 Singles
ASHLAND, VA — Independent force Slyide (Stephen Wood) has officially unleashed his latest full-length project, SLYIDEATICA, now available on all major streaming platforms. This high-octane release follows a period of massive momentum, defined by viral highs and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of hip-hop, hard rock, and R&B.
Distributed Worldwide, SLYIDEATICA captures Slyide at his most vulnerable and technically proficient. The album showcases his unique ability to marry aggressive production with soulful hooks, featuring standout tracks like the versatile "Switch," the regional anthem "VA Stand Up," the high-energy "Bounce," and the emotive "Forever in Your Eyes" and "Hunny Bee."
The road to this release was paved by the explosive success of Slyide's cover of "Right Here Waiting," which went viral and garnered a massive audience before being removed due to licensing disputes. Far from being discouraged, Slyide is currently in active negotiations to secure proper licensing for the track, demonstrating his commitment to professional integrity and his fans.

Slyide isn't slowing down. Keeping the pressure on, he has already lined up powerful follow-up singles including "Repent," "Change Your Mind," and "June 2022." With a deep vault of unreleased material, fans can expect a steady stream of new music dropping throughout the rest of 2026.
"The response since the drop has been incredible," says Slyide. "This album is a thank you to everyone who supported me through the ups and downs—especially with the 'Right Here Waiting' situation. We're doing everything the right way to bring that back, but in the meantime, SLYIDEATICA is just the beginning of what we have coming this year."
Listeners can experience SLYIDEATICA now on Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora.
