Haitian-American hip-hop breakout Lil Crix returns for the ferocious “Kold Shoulder” featuring BLP Kosher, out today via Vulture Love/Capitol Records. Over menacing beats and sinister synths, the up-and-comer doesn’t so much spit bars as deliver threats. It’s a brutal calling card from one of the most exciting new artists in rap.
“I’m gonna give his dad the cold shoulder,” Crix raps over eerie percussion and ethereal, cascading synths. “Kidnap his brother, send them up just like a rollercoaster.” That sets the tone for the rest of the track as the rapper continues to fire off lyrical barbs: “PB and J, or purple Drake with a brown holster,” he spits. “Keep it special K with BLP, but I am not kosher.” There’s a lived-in candor and unfiltered honesty that elevates the raw and rowdy anthem.
“Kold Shoulder” arrives soon after the epic single “Muppy” featuring Lil Double O and Faze Kaysan. It followed Crix’s laidback single “Iced Tea.” To date, the latter has piled up nearly a million streams and earned praise from the likes of Rolling Out, The Urban Influencer, and more, with Sway’s Universe attesting, “Lil Crix has been rapping for just a short period of time, but his talent is unquestionable.”
Hailing from Lauderhill, FL, Crix found the support of superstar Kodak Black after just a month in the rap game. Since then, he has performed on marquee stages like Spotify’s “Most Necessary” show in Miami and garnered millions of streams across his tracks “Power Freestyle,” “Kick Yo Doe” [feat. Nardo Wick], and Kodak Black’s “Dirt McGerk” [feat. EST GEE & Lil Crix].
Now, with “Kold Shoulder,” Crix keeps his foot on the gas, leveling up with another knockout track.
