Lil Yachty made headlines back in January thanks to the successful release of Let’s Start Here., his 14-track experimental body of work. The LP housed assists from Diana Gordon, Teezo Touchdown, Justine Skye, Fousheé, Baby K, Ant Clemons, Nick Hakim, Justin Raisen, Daniel Caesar, and more. Let’s Start Here. garnered him a top 10 placement on the Billboard 200 thanks to 36,000 album-equivalent units sold during its first week of release.

Over the weekend, the Georgia-born rapper decided he was ready to follow up with a new single and unleashed “Strike (Holster).” The accompanying clip was directed by frequent collaborator Cole Bennett and takes place on a gloomy dock on a rainy day, a setting perfect for Teddy Walton’s airy production. On the song, the “Poland” rapper spits about wanting to link up and have a smoke session:

“I been rolled up, yeah, I was geekin’, I was high as f**k, tweakin’/ I was tryna strike s**t, I was tryna strike s**t, I was tryna strike s**t, like a match, late night, yeah/ Strike like I missed it, strike like I hit the pin, strike like I’m not goin’ to work/ Show them somethin’ show them, show them, uh, stack them old hunnids , recreate Yoda, I don’t put no crushed ice in my soda, got it stuck like a holster”

Prior to Let’s Start Here . was 2021’s Michigan Boy Boat , a 14-track body of work that saw additional features from Tee Grizzley, Swae Lee, Sada Baby, YN Jay, Rio da Yung OG, Babyface Ray , and more. Months later, he dropped off the sixth installment of his Birthday Mix series, bringing in his 24th trip around the sun with SoFaygo, Lil Tecca, DC2Trill, and Draft Day.

While Let’s Start Here remains in heavy rotation , Lil Yachty has released a new track to ensure fans remain satiated.

The song, titled “Strike (Holster),” has been the subject of relentless speculation since first being teased on social media late last year. It arrives less than three months after Yachty garnered widespread acclaim with the release of his fifth studio album, the aforementioned Let’s Start Here . 

Drake—whose 21 Savage collab  Her Loss  featured key contributions from Yachty —was quick to let his Instagram followers know that despite releasing his own new song “Search and Rescue” simultaneously , his friend ’s latest drop has become his “anthem”:

Among those with effusive praise for Yachty’s latest album was Questlove , who told fans in January that Let’s Start Here had him “hyped about music’s future.”  In a detailed Instagram post outlining his admiration for the LP, the Roots drummer and Oscar-winning Summer of Soul director cited past examples of “departure albums” across music history, including classics from the Beatles and Prince.

The record was further solidified with the recent pair of well-received, Diana Gordon-featuring Saturday Night Live performances, both of which can be viewed below.

Later this month, Yachty will be in Virginia Beach for the 2023 edition of Pharrell’s Something in the Water festival. Others on the lineup include Kid Cudi, 100 gecs, Flo Milli, Lil Uzi Vert, Latto, Lil Wayne, Machine Gun Kelly, Maren Morris, Skrillex, Wet Leg, and many more.

Lil Yachty ‘Strike (Holster)’ Song Review

Lil yachty strikes again with synth-driven single 'strike (holster)'.

Lil Yachty returns to the music scene with a new single, “Strike (Holster),” following the release of his fifth studio album, “Let’s Start Here,” and a recent appearance on Saturday Night Live. Teddy Walton and Aaron Bow created the laid-back, synth-driven track. Yachty fans may also expect a music video for the song to be published later today.

“Strike (Holster)” begins with a lively pre-chorus that sets the tone for the rest of the song. Lil Yachty brags about his late-night exploits and his desire to “strike” – a reference to both his popularity and his party lifestyle – in the chorus. The lyrics highlight Yachty’s distinct flow and creative wit as he discusses his affluent lifestyle, demonstrating that he is not to be ignored.

“Strike (Holster)” has an undeniably compelling production. Teddy Walton and Aaron Bow have created a beat that compliments Yachty’s laid-back, melodic sound wonderfully. The synth-heavy beat and soft bassline create a chilled ambiance, making the tune a great addition to any late-night playlist.

Lil Yachty’s lyrical style remains fun while also touching on topics of success, riches, and partying. The verses are jam-packed with smart words and references to his lavish lifestyle, such as “I change whips like they change shoes.” The rhythmic repetition of “strike” in the chorus adds to the song’s infectious quality and will definitely have listeners singing along.

“Strike (Holster)” follows a string of teases from Lil Yachty, his sister Nina Simone, and NBA player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The song was popular even before it was released, thanks in part to Nina singing along to the excerpt in December 2022. While her contribution was welcomed with varied reviews, excitement for the song grew.

Cole Bennett directed music video for “Strike (Holster)” will most likely add another dimension of visual appeal to the track. Bennett is recognized for his inventive and fascinating music videos, so fans should expect something unique to accompany Lil Yachty’s latest hit.

“Strike (Holster)” demonstrates Lil Yachty’s ability to continuously produce engaging, catchy music that connects with his fan base. The track’s laid-back, synth-driven production and Yachty’s distinct flow make it an easy listen that will appeal to both new and veteran fans of the Atlanta rapper.

“Strike (Holster)” is an excellent addition to Lil Yachty’s ever-expanding discography. The single features his distinctive style and brilliant wordplay, while the bouncy chorus and engaging sound make it a song that many listeners will certainly play on repeat. “Strike (Holster)” is likely to have a lasting impact on the music landscape with the imminent release of the music video, further solidifying Lil Yachty’s standing as a key figure in the world of hip-hop .
