Lil Yachty Releases Soulful 'Murda' Single With Maggie Rogers Sample

Lil Yachty has made a strong return in 2025 with his single "Murda," which samples Maggie Rogers' 2016 hit "Alaska" to create a genre-blending track that mixes indie softness with street-hardened swagger. The song features a wavy, soulful beat and showcases Yachty's traditional rap style, delivering confident bars that emphasize his rise to the top and dominance in the rap scene. Accompanying the release is a striking music video directed by AMD Visuals and premiered via Lyrical Lemonade, featuring surreal imagery and stylish visuals that complement the song's energy. "Murda" follows several collaborations and productions Yachty contributed to this year, but fans eagerly await a full album, as this is his first solo release since his 2023 rock-tinged album, "Let's Start Here." Yachty's recent activity includes touring with Tyler, the Creator on the Chromakopia World Tour, further solidifying his evolving role in modern hip-hop. His experimental edge and versatile approach continue to earn praise from fans and critics alike.
