Maui Woop

Kodak Black

Fresh off of the Parish Fashion Week runway, <a href="/profile/kodakblack" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kodak Black</a> is back with new heat.



This morning, Kodak Black shared a brand new single titled, &#8220;Maui Woop&#8221; &#8212; his first official drop of 2023. The new single takes inspiration from a recent trip to Hawaii, as seen in the music video, where he reflects on his early beginnings, how far life&#8217;s taken him, and his brush with death.

The rapper&#8217;s new single also serves as an homage to XXXTENTACION. Released right before<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/623818-xxxtentacion-lil-uzi-vert-team-up-on-im-not-human" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> X&#8217;s 25th birthday</a>, Kodak Black opens up by referencing the death of his &#8220;Roll In Peace&#8221; collaborator. &#8220;I was in Hawaii/ Thinking about XXXTENTACION, when a n***a shot me,&#8221; he raps on the first verse. Later on, he raps, &#8220;Thinkin&#8217; &#8217;bout XXX, if a n***a get ups on me, then I&#8217;ll let him take it.&#8221;



Yak had a huge weekend that included massive contributions at Paris Fashion Week. Not only did he walk the runway, but he also collaborated with Doni Nahmias for NAHMIAS&#8217;s FW23 California Poetry collection. 



&#8220;He has a hit single called ‘Super Gremlin,’ so he gave me his notebook and we took the handwritten lyrics and turned it into an artwork, and then made a faux fur fabric and created this oversize hoodie with it,&#8221; Nahmias told Hypebeast of his collaboration with Kodak. &#8220;He then wrote NAHMIAS throughout, so it’s all his handwriting in the print.”
