Milwaukee’s melodic-rap rising star Superstar Sel is back stirring the pot — literally — with his latest single and music video, “Gumbo.” Presented by Run Along Forever and directed and edited by Nolan Busalacchi, the new visual is another reminder that Sel has quietly become one of the most consistent voices in the Midwest’s underground-to-mainstream pipeline.

If you’ve been paying attention to Milwaukee’s rap wave, the name Superstar Sel should already be on your radar. Across a steady run of 2025 releases — from the hazy, autotuned flex of “Presidential” to the more grown, composed reflection of “Lil Bit Older,” plus collaborations like “Carlton” with KyleHill and “Soldier” with Run Along Forever — Sel has carved out a lane built on glossy melodies, punchy trap production, and the kind of confident swagger that translates as easily to headphones as it does to club speakers.

“Gumbo” feels like the natural next ingredient. The track leans into Sel’s signature blend of melodic auto-tune and street-smart storytelling, served over production that’s equal parts moody and bouncy. It’s a flavor he’s been perfecting — a little braggadocio, a little introspection, and a whole lot of regional pride simmered together into something distinctly his own.

Visually, Busalacchi’s direction matches the song’s energy beat for beat. The Run Along Forever camp continues to prove they understand how to frame their artists, and “Gumbo” is no exception — crisp, cinematic, and built to live as a repeat-watch on YouTube rather than a one-and-done scroll.

For anyone tracking the next class of Midwest hitmakers, Superstar Sel is making the case that he belongs near the front of the line. “Gumbo” is the kind of release that rewards both new listeners and longtime supporters — and it sets the table nicely for whatever he serves up next.
