Megan Thee Stallion continues to make waves in the music industry with her latest solo single, 'Hiss.' Coming off the success of 'Cobra,' which marked her first independent release after parting ways with her previous record label, Megan is now embarking on a new era as an artist.
The Grammy-winning rapper made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live last week, performing her collaboration with Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp, 'Not My Fault.' Now, she's back with 'Hiss,' a track that showcases a fresh snake-themed direction for the Houston-born MC.
As a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Megan has been teasing this new era with 'Cobra' as 'Act One,' symbolizing her shedding the skin of the past and moving into the next phase of her career. With her highly anticipated third studio album on the horizon, 'Hiss' gives us another glimpse of what's to come from this hit-making rapper.
Lyrically, 'Hiss' takes a complete 180-degree turn from the more candid and introspective 'Cobra.' It serves as a warning to anyone who dares to stand in Megan's way. Right from the beginning of the song, she sets the tone, declaring, 'I just wanna kick this s—t off by saying, ‘F—k y’all!’ I ain’t gotta clear my name on a motherf—kin’ thing. Every time I get mentioned, one of y’all b—h a— n—as get 24 hours of attention.'
Throughout the track, Megan spits rapid-fire verses that leave no one safe from her aim. From men she wants to leave in the past to haters who don't want to see her succeed, she fearlessly confronts them all. 'Ever since I claimed the summer, all you b—hes want a season. Ask a h— why she don't like me, bet she can't give you a reason,' she confidently raps.
The choice to incorporate a snake theme in Megan's next chapter seems to be a fitting one. The symbolism of shedding old skin and embracing a more assertive and unapologetic persona resonates strongly in 'Hiss' and aligns perfectly with Megan's growth as an artist.
With two sharp-tongued singles under her belt, Megan Thee Stallion is undoubtedly making a statement with her upcoming album. Fans can expect a powerful and fearless exploration of her artistry as she continues to solidify her place as one of the most influential voices in hip-hop.
As we eagerly anticipate Megan's third studio album, 'Hiss' serves as a tantalizing taste of what's yet to come. Brace yourself for an era of unapologetic truths and infectious beats as Megan Thee Stallion slithers her way to the top of the charts once again.
