Rappers love their foreigns – aka foreign-made luxury cars.  You’ll be hard-pressed to find a rapper (or singer for that matter) who doesn’t love Rolls-Royce, specifically the Wraith.  Who can blame them for referencing the sick coupe as their foreign of choice? Just look at it, sigh.  Ask yourself, who wouldn’t want to own that ride? Anyways, enough adoration for the Wraith – we have this playlist full of rappers/singers to accomplish that.  Here friends is a playlist of 12 songs that name-drop the Wraith.  Make sure you check out the updated version of this list: .

1. Kodak Black, “Tunnel Vision”

Painting Pictures • Atlantic • 2017

Kodak Black wastes little time on “Tunnel Vision” before name-dropping the Wraith.  Following the hook, he asserts his ownership status.

I jumped up out the Wraith, Kodak bought a Wraith
I get any girl I want, any girl I want...” 


2. Drake, “Portland”

Ft. Travis Scott & Quavo

More Life • Cash Money • 2017

Drake doesn’t rap about his Wraith on “Portland.” However featured guest Quavo takes time to give Rolls-Royce some love:

“Park the Benz just to ride the Wraith.”

Another member of Migos gets in on the Wraith action later action – read on!


 

3. Lil Yachty, “Peek a Boo”

Ft. Migos

Teenage Emotions • Capitol / Motown • 2017

The main reason that Lil Yachty is getting attention for the song “Peek a Boo” is his ignorance to distinguish between woodwind and string instruments. Case in point:

“She blow that dick like a cello.”

However, the reason “Peek a Boo” appears on this list is that Offset name-drops the Wraith, in all its expensive glory.

“Just bought the Wraith and I wrapped it, titanic.”

Speaking of Offset, he also rapped about the Wraith on “Get Right Witcha” from Culture:

“Bought that Wraith and had the ceilin’ light (Wraith).”


4. Rick Ross, “Idols Become Rivals”

Rather You Than Me • Epic • 2017

This is one of many Rick Ross appearance in some form or fashion on this list.  Basically, Ross found a line that he could recycle a couple of times.  On “Idols Become Rivals” he raps:

“Fuck a skateboard, I went and got a Wraith, boy.”

While the line seems ridiculous, contextually, Ross is taking shots at Birdman, and in this particular instance, Lil Wayne and his investment into skateboarding.


5. A$AP Mob, “RAF”

Ft. A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Quavo, Lil Uzi & Frank Ocean

Cozy Tapes, Vol. 2 • RCA • 2017

“RAF” is an interesting flex record from A$AP MOB.  Specifically, it references Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons.  Generally, the song is about flaunting and spending money.  Lil Uzi Vert drops the bomb – rather the Wraith:

“Hit that bitch right, I’m with my Life Savers
Woo, feel like Darth Vader
I’m a boss so you know I might Wraith you
Woo, Raf in my basement.”

This isn’t the first time that A$AP Mob have name-dropped the Wraith. On “Yamborghini High,” A$AP Rocky brags:

“Yeah, I’m gettin’ cake, yeah, it’s no debate 
Yeah, I fornicated with foreign hoes that I date, like every day 
Yeah, I rock the Raf, yeah, I bought the Wraith
Yeah, I’m out of state, yeah, I like to race.”


6. Desiigner, “Panda”

New English • Def Jam • 2016

On “Panda,” Desiigner isn’t obsessed with the Wraith like some of his contemporaries.  His foreign of choice is the BMW X6, another sick ride.  Still, he references the Wraith:

“Know some killas pull of and they in the Wraith…”


7. The Weeknd, “Starboy”

Starboy Republic • 2016

On the third verse of his no. 1 hit, The Weeknd references the lux-sport phenomenon.

“Star Trek roof in that Wraith of Khan
Girls get loose when they hear this song
100 on the dash get me close to God
We don’t pray for love, we just pray for cars.”


8. Meek Mill, “Litty”

Ft. Tory Lanez
DC4 • Atlantic • 2016

On the first verse of “Litty,” Meek Mill confidently asserts:

“They don’t want to see you win (they don’t)
They don’t want to see the Wraith (no)
They don’t want to see your bitch
Caught up in the stars like she outer space.”

Tory Lanez later joins the Wraith talk:

“Hopped in the Wraith and I bought it, it’s litty again...
They don’t want to see the squad
They don’t want to see the Wraith
They don’t want to see your bitch up in the stars
Like she going outer space.”


9. DJ Khaled, “I Got the Keys”

Ft. Future & Jay-Z

Major Key • Epic • 2016

Holding the keys to a Rolls-Royce Wraith would certainly be a Major Key – rather a major set of keys or a major purchase (>$300,000).  Guest Future gets the “Wraith talk” started on “I Got the Keys.”

“Wraith talk, Wraith talk
Oh, we talkin’ that Wraith talk.”

Jay-Z gets on the action as well: “That Wraith talk, that’s foreign, n***a.”


10. Meek Mill, “Jump Out the Face”

Ft. Future

Dreams Worth More than MoneyAtlantic • 2015

Long before he was featured on DJ Khaled hit “I Got the Keys,” Future rapped about the Wraith on Meek Mill joint, “Jump Out the Face.” He spits:

“Jump out the Rari then jump out the Wraith
Then I hop in Margiela then hope in some Bape.”

So, what’s his point? Future is big ballin’ – he has no shortage of money. In two lines alone he references a Ferrari, a Rolls- Royce, and two designer brands of clothing.  Even before “Jump Out the Face,” Future asserted, “I had to grab the Wraith, I had to grab the Wraith” on his own hit, “Blow a Bag”. In the music video, just as he brags, there’s a Wraith.


11. Drake, “Back to Back”

Cash Money • 2015

While “Back to Back” is best known as the second diss track by Drake aimed at Meek Mill, the Canadian artist found a fitting moment to brag about his Wraith.

“I waited for days, n***a, where y’all at?
I drove here in the wraith playin’ AR-AB.”


12. Rick Ross, “Sanctified”

Ft. Big Sean & Kanye West
Mastermind Def Jam • 2014

Rick Ross loves money, hence why he raps about it all the time.  On his verse on “Sanctified,” he delivers a line that supports the sentiment of a previous song, “Money Make Me Come”. Ross spits: “Baby seen me in that Wraith, wanna have my baby.”

Interestingly, “Thug Cry” from the same album finds Ross bragging about his slick set of wheels:

“Money over bitches, first n***a with a Wraith
Double M, we handle business.”

It should be noted, Ross owns a Wraith.

Again, make sure you check out the updated version of this list: .
