PRAY Joins Forces With Urban Department, Debuts “TRIGGER FINGER” FeaturingMadman Stan

PRAY

Filipino Melbourne-based hip-hop artist PRAY enters the next chapter of his rap career with the release of “TRIGGER FINGER,” his collaborative single with O SIDE MAFIA’s Madman Stan–out last May 15, 2026, under independent hip-hop label, Urban Department.


The release marks PRAY’s first official label-backed single following a breakout independent run that steadily turned him into one of the most talked-about names within the Filipino hip-hop space. Only three years into his career, PRAY boasts over 130,000 monthly Spotify listeners from “PARANG ATL (I’M SO ATL REMIX),” “What U Got,” and his EP THANKGOD4ALLDISSWAG, garnering multi-million streams in total.


PRAY

Built on hard-hitting trap production by TR4E and PRAY’s signature autotune-heavy bravado, “TRIGGER FINGER” is set to be his most ambitious and fully realized release to date. The track embodies both rappers’ “never miss” mentality, declaring that everything they touch lands with precision. The collaboration is also inspired by PRAY’s supporters, and Madman Stan’s infamous online persona (Mista NevaMiss), making the record feel culturally natura and long overdue.


Urban Department, an independent hip-hop label focused on developing and exporting underground talent onto the global stage, now steps in as PRAY’s official label partner as he gears up for a debut project announcement later this year.


PRAY

“I see myself as a wildcard,” PRAY shares. “Not a lot of people still know me, but every time they come across me, they can’t help but tune into what I do. My peers also call me ‘your favorite artist’s favorite artist.”


With “TRIGGER FINGER,” PRAY sharpens that reputation into a statement, turning his underground credibility and growing momentum into a collaborative release that signals the next phase of PRAY.
