Super Gremlin

“Super Gremlin” is a diss track directed at Jackboy, who is also a rapper on the Sniper Gang music label. Kodak Black thought that his colleague was envious of how fast he rose to fame versus his success.

The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2022 and remained on the charts for 42 consecutive weeks since its debut in November 2021. In response to this diss track, Jackboy recorded “Don’t Force My Hand” which mentions maintaining a close circle of supporters and friends without engaging in arguments that will only waste time, referring to Kodak Black.

“Tunnel Vision”

“Tunnel Vision” highlights how Kodak Black is trying to keep his eyes on the prize while maintaining his successful career as an American rapper. He makes references to his many run-ins with the law to show how he is attempting to stay out of prison and keep releasing his raps.

The song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 about two weeks after its release in mid-March 2017. It stayed on the charts for 20 weeks from its original release date.

Wake Up in the Sky by Gucci Mane featuring Bruno Mars and Kodak Black

These three high-profile R&B/rapping aficionados collaborate talking about the perks that come with being famous. They can drink until drunk, smoke weed until high, and get the women they want.

Waking up in the sky shows that they can be transported on airplanes, take a nap, and essentially wake from a nap while they are flying in the sky. Kodak Black’s solo refers to how he loves to be decked out in diamond jewelry and the girls looking at him in amazement.

The song peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 a few days before Christmas 2018, which was three months after its original release in September 2018. It remained on the chart for 26 consecutive weeks.  

No Flockin

Kodak Black became a mainstream success thanks to releasing “No Flockin” in 2014. It became #95 on the Billboard Hot 100 after the song came on iTunes in 2015.

VinnyxProd produced the instrumental put to the background of Kodak Black’s freestyle hit. Black thought an instrumental could not do this freestyle track justice, but he was surprised to discover how well VinnyxProd’s work attuned to Black’s overall vision.

He was the first rapper to refer to weed as broccoli on his tracks. Black utilized the term in his first single. Other rappers started using the reference, too.

Skrt

Kodak Black opens the song by talking to a girl he is currently breaking up with. He kept telling her that they are done in their relationship, but she does not understand. Hence, he demonstrates he is escaping a situation he does not want to endure because “skrt” is the sound of his tires when driving away from a tough situation.

While released in 2014, “Skrt” became more popular in 2015 when Drake co-signed the song on OVO Sound Radio and shared the song on his Instagram.

Codeine Dreaming Featuring Lil Wayne

“Codeine Dreaming” highlights how Kodak Black and Lil Wayne are on a journey to get high off of codeine during their free time. The dreaming aspect is enhanced with metaphors about outer space and various planets and other entities in the Solar System. Even Kodak Black makes a pop culture reference to Jimmy Neutron most understood by Millennial listeners.

While Black was attempting to have Future join him on this track, Lil Wayne did so instead. The song peaked at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2017 and was certified two times platinum by RIAA.

Roll In Peace Featuring XXXTentacion

XXXTentacion is another rapper hailing from Florida that helped with the “Roll In Peace” single for Kodak Black’s Project Baby 2 mixtape. The lyrics highlight how both have had different instances of breaking the law.

Kodak Black expresses that he feels he cannot be at peace because of how often the media highlights his fame and details about his legal run-ins. While he tries to enjoy life for its simplicity, it’s difficult to do because these two elements from the media are begging for his attention.

Pimpin’ Aint Easy

Kodak Black discusses how being a pimp is harder than some people may believe. Interestingly enough, the slang term “strap” has two meanings. Of course, we already know the meaning of it related to a gun. He also uses the term referring to females interacting in a certain way related to their sexual orientation.

He highlights a recent jail sentence because of a weapons charge. Black mentions how he is ok with going to federal prison if it comes that far. The life of a pimp is surely thrilling and dangerous as with the explicit lyrics.
