We have to discuss “Poland.” By the point Lil Yachty’s new single hit DSPs at the moment, it was already a success. The F1LTHY-produced observe, launched on SoundCloud every week in the past after a leak, grew to become instantaneous meme fodder. Social media customers have been matching Yachty’s spookily crooned hook — “I took the wock to Poland” — to all types of video footage, to dramatic and hilarious impact. Who knew an 83-second synthpop-trap oddity about sipping lean in Jap Europe might be so adaptable?
Along with its entry into streaming providers at the moment, “Poland” will get a brand new official video from Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett, changing (or, I assume, complementing) the lo-fi clip for the track posted final Friday that already has 4 million views. This one has some comparable photographs of Yachty on the road and the subway, plus a minimum of one extraordinarily unsubtle scene wherein a purple beverage is splattered throughout a map of Poland. It’s not as flashy and colourful as your common Bennett video; actually, I’m undecided it’s even actually an improve over the unique lo-fi clip. However the publicity that comes with the Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel in all probability received’t harm.
In reality, primarily based on all of the vitality round “Poland” proper now, and the truth that its brief runtime makes it further replayable, it appears doubtless that Yachty’s new signature hit may surpass “Wockesha” to turn into rap’s largest wock-oriented hit so far. Watch beneath.
