Lil Yachty Follows Up ‘Let’s Start Here’ With New Track “Strike (Holster)”

Lil Yachty just rolled out the new song "Strike (Holster)," which follows his recent 'SNL' performance and widespread acclaim for his latest album.

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 Drops Music Video for “Strike (Holster)”

by Thomas Galindo April 10, 2023, 12:30 pm

Lil Yachty’s second wind is becoming more imaginative than his first.

Videos by American Songwriter

After emerging on the hip-hop scene in the mid-2010s with hits like “One Night,” “Minnesota,” and “Broccoli,” Yachty hit a bit of a trough in popularity and viral appeal to end the decade. But now, after a recent smash hit single and career-altering studio album , Yachty is back in the spotlight and continuously leaving listeners speechless, as evident in his new song “Strike (Holster).”

Six months removed from his quirky song “Poland,” which reached No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a little over two months since his experimental psychedelic rock record Let’s Start Here , “Strike (Holster)” sees Yachty continue to ride his roaring wave of momentum even more. Employing similar vocal inflections as “Poland,” holding the prolonged “oooooooh” harmony at the song’s climax, Yachty looks to have stumbled upon a winning formula.

Throughout the track, the Georgia native raps about his love for promethazine and fits multiple different allusions in for the word strike. Strike shit like a match, Strike like I missed it, Strike like I hit the pin, Strike like I’m not goin’ to work he croons on the chorus, Yachty’s spontaneity and youthfulness brim all over the recording.

When he approaches the second verse of the song, he playfully illustrates the effect of Percocet on his significant other, leaving her motionless. Putting a playful spin on the usually-harsh motifs of guns and drugs in rap music, “Strike (Holster)” is a masterclass by Yachty.

Percy got her stuck like a holster It’s a gun in my holster New Balenci’ out in Dover It’s a four in my soda, sit it on a Balenci’ coaster

“Strike (Holster)” was first teased via Instagram on March 23 by Cole Bennett, prominent music video director and founder of music video brand Lyrical Lemonade. Alluding to a visual for “Strike (Holster)” being in the works, fans knew to expect the song’s release shortly after.

Less than two days after the song officially came out on digital streaming platforms, Lyrical Lemonade uploaded the music video to their YouTube page on Saturday (April 8). The fifth time Bennett and Yachty have collaborated on a video, “Strike (Holster)” sees Yachty donning a red hoodie and head-bopping to the song’s blissful production.

Since its release, the visuals for “Strike (Holster)” have already eclipsed 1 million views, proving that Yachty’s resurgence is for real. It’s unclear if the new song is in promotion of an upcoming project , but it is indisputably a signifier of Yachty’s work ethic and unique songwriting. Check out the video below.

Lil Yachty Drops Moody Music Video for "Strike"

Presented by lyrical lemonade..

Having worked together on the music videos for “ Poland ” and “ Yae Energy ,” Lil Yachty and Lyrical Lemonade come together once again for a new moody music video for “Strike (Holster).”

The team head to a forest reserve for most of the video, leaning into the rain to compliment the spacey ambiance of the song. Yachty is swapping three fits for the video, rocking flannel and denim for the forest, bright red at the lakeside pier, and black in the parking garage where a massive bottle is seen strapped to a Maybach. We also see a rare cameo from Yachty’s sister with her voice slotted in at the end.
