“It’s 7 p.m. Friday / It’s 95º / I ain’t got no nigga and no nigga ain’t got me.” Woo! GloRilla (Gloria Hallelujah Woods) dropped a surefire rap banger with “TGIF” in the summer of 2024.  “TGIF” = graced her 2024 debut album, GLORIOUS.  In the refrain that follows, and sometimes precedes the infectious chorus, she spits, “Turnt up with my niggas / Turnt up with my bitches / …Sixty thousand fans came to see me do my dance / Got a million and one haters, and they all can kiss my ass.” Oh, snap! Chaii Beats produced “TGIF,” which thrives off a skeletal instrumental – a knocking beat and minor-key synths. “TGIF” samples “So silly !” by Koto. A top 40 hit, “TGIF” peaked at no. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.

GloRilla is confident and unapologetic throughout “TGIF.” Her cadence and flow are electrifying.  “Got a Backwood full of ‘Za and a bankroll full of bands,” she spits in the first verse, continuing, “All that, all that Twitter typin’, bitches see me and ain’t do nothin’ / Crop top with some biker shorts, I’m showin’ off my moose knuckle.” Holy shit 😳! She makes her fair share of sexual references whether it’s, “He love the way I sex,” or “I keep this pussy fresh / Yeezy shirt, I’m wet.” In the second verse, her confidence doesn’t cease, with “Fuck you mean? 40 inches, 6-13 / I’m lookin’ fine as hell (Woah), I’m tryna be seen.” Obviously! GloRilla thoroughly enjoys her “hot as hell” Friday night.  Without a doubt, “TGIF” the song is also hot as hell.  It’s a GLORIOUS banger!
