Lil Yachty Shares Surprise New Track "Won't Diss You"
Summary Lil Yachtyhas returned with another surprise new single. Arriving just over a month after hisMaggie Rogers-sampling cut 'Murda' comes 'Won't Diss You,' accompanied by yet another vibrant, vintage VHS-style visual component. Boat has been moving quietly as of late in terms of music, shying away from any rollout promo for these new tracks. 'Murda' spawned after no prior announcement or lead-up – just a surprise new track and visual on a summer Friday. 'Won't Diss You' was a similar scenario, merely materializing as a surprise to us all at midnight. A lengthy first verse kicks off the exactly two-and-a-half-minute track, Boat staying true to the title of the track and spitting, 'Won't diss you, nah, won't diss you (Diss you) / Online, I'll never go diss you (Diss you) / If anything, I'll say I miss you (Miss you) / In person, we'll get right with you (With you).' With catchy chorus-like refrains spliced in between, the second and third verses are a bit shorter but are still rich with the rapper's raw energy. The vignette-style visual comes directed by locked-in Lil Yachty collaborators AMD Visuals and Little Miles and compiles clips of Yachty donning vibrant outfits that match the video's saturated color palette. Watch the music video above and stream 'Won't Diss You' out everywhere now.
