The build-up to Sudan Archives’ sophomore LP, Natural Brown Prom Queen, has been a months-long endeavor, starting with the arrival of the domestication anthem “Home Maker” back in March. Today — two singles, a FADER Interview, and nearly six months later — she’s returned with with the record’s fourth and final pre-release offering: a bombastic trap cut titled “OMG BRITT.”

The new song, like each of the three tracks that came before it on the forthcoming project’s release cycle, showcases an entirely distinct side of Sudan’s sound. Every song is a flex in its own right: “Home Maker” is a sultry siren song about the Cinicinnati-bred, L.A.-based multi-hyphenate’s old-fashioned allure. “Selfish Soul” is an upbeat ode to self-acceptance and the power of hair. And “NBPQ (Topless),” a four-minute screed against mediocrity, is appropriately unclassifiable, using barrages of bouzouki to transition between several disparate modes.

“OMG BRITT” takes the braggadocio even further. It’s the most straightforward cut from the album so far, a declaration of independence (“Don’t need no man to pay my rent”) and war (“All these stank-ass bitches better take ’em in.”) Watch the Zach Sulak-directed video, which finds Sudan smashing her trademark violin to smithereens and sneering menacingly at the camera in increasingly close quarters, above.
