Combining wit, ferocity, and fashionable flair, Asian Da Brat (fka Asian Doll) is a rapper and cultural figure who deserves your stan. Taking a trip to France for the heist of a lifetime, Asian shares “Draco,” her kinetic new video. With audio premiered earlier this week by Highsnobiety, “Draco” is a stuttering, bass-heavy bop, as Asian and guest Smokepurpp trade soft-spoken bon mots above distorted blasts of low-end. In the video, Asian and Purpp experience a taste of the high life in a Parisian art gallery. Unbeknownst to the gallery’s bearded proprietor, the two Alamo Records labelmates are casing the joint for a daring heist. “Draco” is the lead single from UNFUCCWITABLE, Asian Da Brat’s new project, arriving on May 3rd via 1017 Eskimo/Alamo.
Shedding her Doll identity and re-affirming her place as one of rap’s most colorful personalities, Asian Da Brat recently eclipsed 1 million followers on Instagram. The follow-up to October’s So Icy Princess mixtape, UNFUCCWITABLE is an extraordinarily confident release, as Asian gleefully switches up her style from track to track, alternating defiant kiss-offs with sultry love songs and titanic flexes. Featuring appearances from Lil Durk, Smokepurpp, Calboy, Smooky Margielaa, Stunna4Vegas, Yung Mal, and PNB Meen, UNFUCCWITABLE finds the Dallas rapper coming into her own, embodying a glamorous and candy-colored vision of rap’s future.
