Lil Yachty Flips a Maggie Rogers Classic on New Song ‘Murda’
Lil Yachty is back with his first new song of 2025, 'Murda,' which features a prominent sample of Maggie Rogers' breakthrough song, 'Alaska.
The two-minute track is built around a loop of Rogers’ vocal hook from “Alaska,” which gets chopped up and utilized in a few different ways, sometimes drifting breezily through the atmospheric production, sometimes whirring wildly like a siren. Meanwhile, Yachty’s lyrics veer from the casually sinister — “We left that boy in a ditch/Audemars watch on my wrist” — to more contemplative and funny: “Pull up, what’s that smell?/I’m the shit with a house on the hill.” The clip utilizes an array of surreal, abstract images, like a torrent of cash bursting through an open window and Yachty firing two guns at a shooting range while someone covers his eyes from behind.
