Kodak Black Drops Off His New Single “I’m So Awesome”

A follow-up to Kodak Black’s Back For Everything could be arriving shortly. The Florida rapper dished out a double single two weeks ago with “Walk” and “Spin.” The two singles appear to be the first offerings from his forthcoming effort, Kutthroat Bill Vol. 1.

Today, the rapper unveiled another single off of the project titled, “I’m So Awesome.” The “Super Gremlin” rapper takes on eloquent violin-focused production with vengeance in his tone. The rapper bites back at his naysayers, shouts out Gucci Mane, and flaunts his fleet of luxury vehicles.

Kodak Black’s forthcoming album, Kutthroat Bill Vol. 1 will be arriving on October 7th, consisting of 19 songs in total.

Press play on Kodak Black’s new single, “I’m So Awesome” below and keep your eyes peeled for Kutthroat Bill Vol. 1, which you can pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music right now.

Quotable Lyrics
This wasn’t ‘posed to happen, ’cause I was just jackin’ and stuff
I turn a n**a to maggots, yeah, he dead, flies everywhere
I done created the fabric y’all n***as be jackin’, so they gotta pay me to wear
Courvoisier is a poor n***a drink, but I’m drinkin’, you need a license to share

Frank Ocean Wipes IG Page Sparking Speculation About New Music

Frank Ocean deleted the entirety of his Instagram feed on Monday, sparking speculation that he may be gearing up to release new music soon. A new album from Ocean would be his first full-length project since 2016’s Blonde.

It’s also distinctly possible that he could be ready to introduce fans to a new project for his fashion and jewelry design brand Homer, or that he has nothing in the plans and wanted to give his Instagram page a makeover.

Ocean has also been involved in talks with A24 to write and direct his debut feature film.

There is some credence to the theory that new music from Ocean isn’t far off, considering that he recently confirmed he spent the summer working in a studio in Malibu while speaking with Dr. James Fadiman on Blonded Radio for Apple Music.

“Forgive how, like, free associative this might feel,” he said at the time. “… I was working in Malibu this summer and I would go out, like, pretty late from the studio and there’s, like, a big population of coyotes in Malibu. And then when I would go outside I would see, like, all these bunnies running around and it reminded me of video games where you’re, like, a wizard or something. And you’re playing this role in this game and you’re running around and you have these little things to pick up and put in the pouch.”

Fresh off a GRAMMY win for Best Pop Duo/Performance alongside Doja Cat for “Kiss Me More,” SZA has announced her album is complete.

In a post-Grammy press conference, the ctrl Queen revealed the album is on the way.
