Pre-Covid-19, Whack unleashed a barrage of incredible music through her since-retired “Whack Wednesdays” series, which ultimately brought us tracks like “Wasteland” and “Unemployed.” Since then, it’s been relatively quiet on that front, though optimists might reason that Whack has been using the downtime to finesse her Whack World follow-up.
In the clip shared by the artist yesterday, she is seen presumably in her home, singing lines like, “Sick of being stuck in the house / I wanna go out now” and “Now is the time I’ve been losing my mind / I wanna see what’s going on outside” while making her way between the living room and the kitchen, washing her hands and stockpiling toilet paper.
“This song is dedicated to everyone on lockdown…,” the artist signed in the video, captioning the post “#STUCK.”
The new song is backed by Alanis Morissette’s instrumentals from her iconic 1996 track “Ironic.” So far, Morissette has yet to respond to Whack’s sample.
The rapper’s latest record was her full-length debut, Whack World.

In an interview with The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, he said: “What I really came to respect about what he was passionate about is making sure that, while he trusted me with my lyrics and my vocal melody, he would also create a melody that would stand alone. So if you’re familiar with a song, like ‘Wake Me Up’, you have a lyric that you could sing. But if you take away the lyrics you also have a musical melody that he introduces. And that’s just as important as any other part of the song. I think about that every time I’m in a session with producers.”
Avicii, who tragically died in April 2018 at the age of 28, recorded the song ‘SOS’ with Blacc, which was released on the Swedish producer’s posthumous LP ‘TIM’ in June last year.
Meanwhile, Aloe opened up about stepping outside of his comfort zone to record “romantic” ballad ‘I Do for his wife, Maya Jupiter, for the first time to mark their 10th wedding anniversary this year.
He said: “I come from a hip-hop background, and so in my training as a hip-hop artist, romantic love songs were not part of the repertoire. So now I feel really comfortable. I feel like now’s a good time to share that process, my experience, my personality. She asked me a few times when I would write a song for her. I’ve written songs for her which haven’t been released and this is the one that I felt like, ‘OK, this one is perfect’. It really feels like our relationship and it falls on our tenth anniversary.”
