Megan Thee Stallion slithered onto the Billboard Hot 100 late final yr with “Cobra,” her first unbiased single since leaving her earlier file label. She kicked off this yr by making a shock look on Saturday Night Live final week to carry out “Not My Fault,” her collab with Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp. Now, the Grammy-winning rapper is again along with her second serpentine solo single, “Hiss.”
The observe marks Megan’s first single of the yr and factors to a brand new, snake-themed course for the Houston-bred MC. The Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree teased “Cobra” as “Act One” of a brand new period as she shed the pores and skin of the previous and moved into the subsequent part of her life. Megan’s extremely anticipated third studio album—and first as an unbiased artist—appears to be nicely on its method, and “Hiss” serves as one other style of what’s to return for the hit-making rapper.
Lyrically, “Hiss” is full 180 from the extra sincere “Cobra” and serves as a warning to anybody who stands in her method. She makes that clear from the start of the track. “I just wanna kick this s—t off by saying, ‘F—k y’all!’ I ain’t gotta clear my name on a motherf—kin’ thing. Every time I get mentioned, one of y’all b—h a— n—as get 24 hours of attention,” she declared as she kicked off the observe. “I’m finna get this s—t off my chest and lay it to rest. Let’s go!” No one is protected from Megan’s purpose all through her rapid-fire verses, from males she needs to go away up to now to haters who don’t need to see her succeed. “Ever since I claimed the summer, all you b—hes want a season / Ask a h— why she don’t like me, bet she can’t give you a reason,” she raps.
With two sharp-tongued singles within the books, a snake theme appears to have been the precise selection for Megan’s subsequent chapter.
