TDE Drops Music Video Teaser For SZA’s ‘Kill Bill’

by

Following the long-awaited release of SZA’s second studio album S.O.S. earlier this month, her label is now teasing a music video for one of her hottest new songs.

Sharing visuals for “Kill Bill,” Top Dawg Entertainment gave fans a glimpse of what’s “coming soon.” Directed by Christian Breslauer, who worked on Nas-X” class=”text-word” target=”_blank” >Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby,” the music video contains elements from the popular Quentin Tarantino film.

SZA flaunts her sword and motorcycle skills in the teaser, staying true to the song’s theme and lyrics. The song contains the infamous lines: “I might kill my ex, not the best idea / His new girlfriend’s next, how’d I get here? / I might kill my ex, I still love him though / Rather be in jail than alone.”

S.O.S. debuted on December 9 and featured a tracklist of 23 songs. The project contained features from Travis Scott, Phoebe Bridgers, Don Toliver, and Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who passed away in 2004.

Several songs quickly caught fans’ attention, including “Kill Bill,” “Blind,” and “Ghost in the Machine.” 

After the album’s release, the St. Louis native announced her North American tour, which quickly sold out online. Stops on the 2023 tour will include New York City, Dallas, Inglewood, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

Speaking with Rolling Stone earlier this month, the Ctrl singer shared that her upcoming performances will be an ode to her patient fans. 

“I’m really just excited to give people whatever they want. Because I feel I’ve been gone for so long and people have been kind enough to watch me perform the same set for fucking five years, and that is really annoying, and I get that, and the patience and the love that they’ve shown me the whole way,” SZA said, adding, “I just wanna give them the craziest experience they could ever have and play whatever they want.”

Rich The Kid Has “No More Friends” On New Single

by

Atlanta’s own Rich the Kid is back with a new single, “No More Friends.” Fans of his work will likely recognize his fast flows and minimal beat selection with an updated flair. Moreover, the track will appear on his upcoming album, Life’s a Gamble. Also, the track comes after “Motion,” which he released jointly with the announcement that he’s inked a deal with RCA Records.

Such moves have boosted Rich’s career, who hadn’t dropped new solo music since 2021. His output that year included the short project Lucky 7 and his collaboration with Lil Wayne, Trust Fund Babies. Still, a year’s gap between releases is still consistent enough to dismiss any claims of falling off. However, it seems that the Atlanta-raised rapper has found new life with RCA, as he excitedly shared.

“They didn’t believe in me @rcarecords DID,” the 30-year-old wrote via an Instagram post. “NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE best labels in the world Rich Forever X RCA, thank you to my team @bystormpitts everyone who helped make this happen.”

Instrumentally, the short track takes a more psychedelic tone that the Kid’s previous output thanks to the synth tones. They have a lot of atmosphere to them, and their high pitch and fragile tone are a nice deviation from his usually minimal melodies. This track feels a little more expansive as a result, with the simple drum pattern keeping his flow and rhymes in check.

As far as the lyrical content, the “New Freezer” MC wants more money, more success, but no more friends. Much of the track is dedicated to those flexes, whether about wealth or women, and it’s mostly framed around Rich as an individual. There aren’t many references to his circle, and that omission only adds to the track’s themes.

Quotable Lyrics

Who callin’ me? This must be the money it got to be (What?)
Big proud of me, before I sleep, I pray on my enemies
B***h, you ain’t rich, pretend to be
Got a b***h so gutter from Tennessee
