Toronto's KILLY has transformed local stardom into underground fame over the past two years. Though there have been criticisms surrounding his squeaky voice, he's been honing in on his skills even more with each release.
This week, the rapper returned with a brand new single that fans have been waiting on for nearly a year. "Sailor Moon" was initially teased in 2019 with fans steadily demanding an official release. With an accompanying visual, the rapper's lavish and drugged-out flexes meets his romantic woes over a ferocious instrumental cooked up by Freakey!
KILLY's last project, Light Path 8 arrived in June 2019. With the release of his latest single, perhaps we can expect him to drop off a new album before the summer arrives.
Check out KILLY's new single, "Sailor Moon" below.
Quotable Lyrics
I gave my all and it's all I know
When you at the top, you gon' fall, we won't
Fuck all of my ops, I hope they die slow
Icy, I'ma frost and my heart so cold
