We’re already a quarter of the way through 2023, and so far, the year has seen the arrival of some undeniably awesome music from artists of practically every genre. Back in January, Lil Yachty surprised fans by switching up his sound on Let’s Start Here., on which he delivered an impressive 14 featureless tracks. Some favourites from the project are “drive ME crazy!” and “the BLACK seminole.,” both of which the rapper performed during his iconic appearance on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Aside from those titles, listeners have also been loving “pRETTy,” “sAy sOMETHINg,” and “the ride-.”
After giving his fifth studio album some time to digest, Yachty finally announced his return via Instagram on Tuesday (April 4). This afternoon, he unveiled the cover art for an upcoming single, seemingly called “Strike (Holster),” on social media. At the same time, he also confirmed that the track will arrive on DSPs this coming Friday (April 7). In the song’s close-up image, we see a man’s face baring his gold-cap-covered teeth, potentially hinting at some angsty-but-braggadocious vibes on the upcoming release.
Lil Boat Comes Through for New Music Friday
While details surrounding the quickly approaching single remain sparse at this time, fans have made it known in the comments that they’re eager to hear Lil Boat’s latest work. Producer Zack Bia also dropped by the replies to tease more heat coming to us in the future, writing, “Wait ’til they hear what else you got in the vault.” Another artist, Teddy Walton, acknowledged Yachty’s more recent experimental vibes with his response. “We bout to switch the sound,” he noted, generating even more excitement about the upcoming track.
Since the arrival of Let’s Start Here., Lil Yachty has been laying relatively low musically. However, he did make an appearance on Cash Cobain’s “NO MORE BODIES” this past weekend – a collaboration that’s been earning him plenty of flowers online. Check out the new single for yourself below, and let us know if you’re excited for “Strike (Holster)” to land on streamers in the comments.
