Desiigner Previews New Track “Outlet” on OVO Sound Radio

It’s produced by Vinylz and will appear on DJ SpinKing’s upcoming project

Last night's OVO Sound Radio came in strong, bringing in Boi-1da and Vinylz for guest mixes. The lineup inevitably brought out some exclusives, not least a frantic new Joyner Lucas cut, "Tapdance," with the two producers sharing the mixing desk. That's worth listening to:

But the headlines will go to Desiigner, whose new track "Outlet" appeared out of the blue. The track sees the rapper veer away from the 80s-inspired dark pop of "Timmy Turner" and return to the unashamed trap hit-making of "Panda" with a familiar, though still earth-shattering beat. There's some nice big horns on there too. It simmers for a while, Desiigner finding his flow. Eventually, he jumps in: ""Got that Ruger on me / Jeweler on me / Mulah on me / Buddha on me / You be talkin' shit, got that boss shit / Boss machine / Hold all the crack somewhere / You might as well go lay down then / That's that old shit, bold shit / Back, I swear."

It's the first hint of new music we've heard from Desiigner since his arrest and incredibly excitable release​ a few weeks back. That there's only a couple minutes worth of audio, and only one verse to show for it, suggests that "Outlet" will likely see a more full release in time. Until then, check it out below.
