Yeat & King Kylie, Let King Tonka Talk | Song Review

Rappers Yeat and King Kylie (Kylie Jenner) miss the mark on the dumb, substance-less, oddly titled single, “Let King Tonka Talk.”  

[nx_pullquote]“Hold on / Yeah, let King Tonka talk / I just walked inside this club, I got two bitches and they grabbin’ on me (King Tonka).”[/nx_pullquote] And thus begins the oddly titled single, “Let King Tonka Talk”. Yeat (Noah Olivier Smith, b. 2000) and King Kylie (yes, Kylie Jenner 👀) collaborate on the promo single from Yeat’s 2026 album, ADL.  Yeat does the heavy lifting on the track, but Jenner drops a few bars… very few. Notably, the West Coast rapper recorded a song called “King Tonka” in 2024. Yeat, Jenner, and producers Dylan Brady, Lucid, and Daniel Chetrit composed the colorful “Let King Tonka Talk.”  The results are… something…

Yeat draws first blood, performing the intro, excerpted above.  From there, he drives into the verse with his Tonka truck… He reiterates the lyrics from the intro regarding those two bitches, and adds, “She be thinkin’ that just ‘cause we fuck, this shit is matrimony (Fuck) / When she find out that I fucked her friend, she gon’ be mad, she know me.” That shit is so fucking poetic… said no one ever! Just s- and f-bombs e’erywhere! Sex is part of the modus operandi, and of course, meaningless sex… Other memorable moments from this verse include, “I be higher than a god, lil’ bitch, and look at me, I’m put together / Every time I pull up on these pussies (Ha), bitch, I change the weather.” Oh, my… Soon after those thought-provoking lines, King Kylie gets in on the action: “Let King Kylie talk / I just walked inside this club and all these bitches, yeah, they grabbin’ on me.” Noted, and there’s the cameo. As for Yeat, we get more braggadocio.  “Every time I touch this bitch, it’s third degree, that’s how I fuck her,” he spits, and later adds, “I might as well be a bartender, when she pull up, she gon’ sip / I’m a nicotine fiend, she a hookah, and I rip.” He doesn’t lie when he says he “be talkin’ so much shit.” That’s essentially what “Let King Tonka Talk” is. Backed by a trunk-rattling, malicious, minor-key backdrop, Yeat goes in. Does he say much? Absolutely not.  Does King Kylie say much? Hell to the naw.  This three-minute shit-talking rap track is a vibe hot mess. Three minutes of my life I wish I could get back…
