Theme & Lyrics  

Bitmoji Image“Say you my nigga, I’ma be your killer / Nobody gon’ play with you when I’m with you.” Woo! Rapper 🎙 Kodak Black comes out swinging on surefire Rap BNGR 🔥 🎵 “Super Gremlin”.  Worth noting, “Super Gremlin” doesn’t appear on a Kodak Black album.  Instead, the 2021 hit appears on 💿 Sniper Game Presents Syko Bob & Snapkatt: Nightmare Babies, attributed to 🎙 Sniper Game, 🎙 Syko Bob and 🎙 Snapkatt.  Regardless, it is “Super Gremlin” that is the crowning achievement.

“Zoe done ran down, caught him pants down, nigga, you shitted

I knew the Perc’ was fake, but I still ate it ‘cause I’m a gremlin.”

Bitmoji Image“Super Gremlin” features banging production by 🎛 ATL Jacob. Safe to say, the beat is LIT 🔥! Giving the backdrop a lift is a sample courtesy of 🎙 How to Loot Brazil, 🎵 “Errror” from 2019. Set in a minor key, “Super Gremlin” is set up to be the perfect knocking trap joint. Of course, the star of the show is none other than Kodak Black. Black serves up relatively agile rhymes over the colorful, minor-key backdrop. Throughout he’s hard-nosed, tough, and unapologetic:

“Oh, y’all think lil’ Yak retarded?

Y’all ain’t seen none yet, I promise

Niggas can’t take me, niggas can’t guard me

I be on a fuck nigga ass like Charmin

AK, twenty-inch carbon.”

Bitmoji ImageOoh-wee! Also worth mentioning, I like his melodic rap moments.  Black is confident – on autopilot. The chorus is utterly infectious, even if the lyrics and content are ‘rough around the edges’:

“Damn, my nigga, you trippin’

We could’ve been superstars

Remember when we was jackin’ cars

Now, it’s not safe for you

You switched like a pussy, lil’ bitch.”

Final Thoughts 💭

superWith “Super Gremlin,” Kodak Black delivers a surefire banger, period.  The production goes hard, and Kodak is on autopilot.  It’s not shocking that that “Super Gremlin” became a hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
