Florida-based rapper, Kadillak has just dropped his first single, titled “Tic Toc.” Produced by Pupp, who is known for his work alongside DJ Chipman and Raylo on the viral song “Peanut Butter Jelly Time,” “Tic Toc” adds a new dimension to the confluence of rap and hip-hop.
The explicit lyrics celebrate beauty standards in a cultural context where healthy women are sometimes made to feel ugly. The song takes a conversation piece that has echoed through decades to encourage women to defy the conforms of a so-called ideal beauty model, where women are delicate and skinny.
Kadillak draws parallels between time, dance, and beauty, evident in the chorus, “Wind it up like a clock - Let me watch - Cause I love to see that ass “Tic Toc.” As often portrayed in social media, thicker women get portrayed as an unhealthy body type. But Kadillak’s song encourages women to push back against unrealistic beauty standards that make them feel bad about their bodies by simply dancing to fast-paced, booming beats.
Inspired by the likes of revered rappers like Lil Wayne, Meek Mills, and Lil Baby, the attention-grabbing and catchy tunes of “Tic Toc” are also an apt fit for dance challenges on social media platforms.
