“You are now tuned in to the one and only, j-hope!” And thus, South Korean rapper j-hope is gassed TF up on “Killin’ It Girl”. There are two versions of the single. In the solo version, j-hope holds it down by himself.  But, in the most intriguing version, he collaborates with The Queen of Memphis, Grammy-nominated rapper, GloRilla. Although brief, it is a surefire banger, nonetheless. Cirkut, Blake Slatkin, and inverness produced it. That beat is S-I-C-K! “Killin’ It Girl” earned j-hope his first top 40 single as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100 (it debuted at number 40).

After being gassed up, j-hope brings ample energy and swagger. He eats on the repetitive, but infectious chorus over the minimalist beat: “You killin’ it, girl / You killin’ it, girl / Ten out of ten / …Baddest out your friends.” Woo! He brings an equally alluring melodic rap performance in the first verse. “It should be a crime just to look that fine / Girl, if you single, let me make you mine,” he raps, adding, “Call a nurse before it gets worse / I’ma really, really need first aid.” Oh, snap! During the second chorus, we get a more melodic, pitched performance by j-hope, alongside the unpitched bars he excelled at earlier in the song. GloRilla brings the heat in the second verse, with her signature, hard-nosed, tough-as-nails Memphis rap sound. “Murder for hire (Split), Mike Glo Myers (Who?) / I keep my foot up on their necks and my heels high (Hey),” she spits, continuing confidently and unapologetically, “Might take your man and tell you go take it to trial (Bitch) / I’m dead serious, the baddest chick alive (Hey).” No over-analysis is necessary for “Killin’ It Girl”, which, all in all, is fun, fun, fun!
