Baka Not Nice returns with his first single of 2023.

While Drake prepares to hit the road in the coming months, it appears that the rest of the OVO Sound clique is getting their moment to shine. Baka Not Nice doesn’t necessarily flood the market with new music but when he comes through with a new hit, it evidently catches everyone’s attention. He emerged with the release of “Live Up To My Name,” a single that defined the summer of 2017. Though he released a few singles since then, fans have hoped that he’d slide through with another banger in the near future.

This morning, the OVO Enforcer came through with his latest offering, “Took A Trip.” Produced by Darren “dF” Fraser, Baka delivers a chilling banger where he details the balance between his menacing presence in the streets and reaping the benefits for trips in Turks and Caicos. His airy delivery pairs with the hypnotizing production for his first release of 2023. Hopefully, it won’t be his last of the year, though.

Baka Not Nice Is Back

For the most part, Baka hasn’t really been actively dropping new music. However, his new single arrives roughly nine months after releasing the blistering record, “Body & A Face.” Though it certainly maintained a steady rotation on playlists, it also garnered attention for what many perceived to be a shot at Pusha T. In the song, Baka seemingly references Push’s claim on Drink Champs that he’s no longer allowed to enter Canada. Many fans believed that Drake managed to get the Clipse rapper banned from the country.

“Took A Trip” might not spur the same controversy that “Body & A Face” did but it’s certainly another strong entry into his catalog. The rapper released his last project, No Long Talk back in 2019. However, with the release of both of his recent singles, perhaps, we could expect him to come through with another EP before the year comes to an end. Check out his latest single above and sound off in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics
I'm switchin' fits 'cause I know these n***as bait
These n***as ain't seen me, they bettеr call Ray
Tell this girl, I ain't seen her, I don't know wherе she come from
Why she playin' all these games when she knows she wanna cum?
