"Brand New" on YouTube |
"Brand New" is a song by American rappers Tyga, YG and Lil Wayne. It was released on September 27, 2023 as the fourth single from the former two's collaborative album Hit Me When U Leave the Klub: The Playlist (2023). The song was produced by DJ Swish and Mike Crook.
The song opens with an old school jazz rap sound, [1] over which rapper Saweetie talks about the new things she wants, [1] [2] before the beat switches to a modern style. [1] The lyrics of the song revolve around the three artists' lavish lifestyles, including money and women. [2] [3]
Lil Wayne's performance was particularly praised by music critics. Zachary Horvath of HotNewHipHop commented he "brings some clever rhymes" to the song, [1] while Marc Griffin of Vibe stated Wayne had the standout verse on the track and his "clever punchlines give his delivery that classic feel." [2]
The music video was released alongside the single. Directed by Jack Bridgland, it begins with Saweetie asking for the items she wants. The clip sees the three rappers in a dimly lit warehouse, where each of them perform their verses in different sections of the facility. It also shows women eating lollipops in front of the camera, exotic dancers in a red-tinted room, and men lifting weights in the background. [2] [3]
