May 16, 2025 — (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, genre-bending rap phenom TiaCorine returns with “IRONIC,”a flex-packed track produced by Kenny Beats out now via Interscope Records. The new single finds the North Carolina artist celebrating herself in style over a psychedelic, funk-dipped score. Listen HERE.
“IRONIC” spills over with goopy synths, rubbery bass, and snapping drums, and TiaCorine rides that sonic wave with ease. Her effortless bars are packed with quotable boasts and vicious disses. In one verse, she flaunts, “Designer drip, Prada pimp, they look forward to my fit.” In the next one, she vows, “Buy yo block, then sell it to yo opp, this s— gon’ never stop.”
Meanwhile, the “IRONIC” video unfolds in and around an unusual pink building. Inside, TiaCorine moves through a series of strange scenes that burst with color and bizarre phenomena. There are mysterious magnetic forces, an intricate Rube Goldberg machine, a small army of ladies in fuzzy hats, and a possibly gravity-defying yo-yo, among other sources of chaos. In the end, though, our heroine comes out on top.
This is TiaCorine’s second hard-hitting offering of the year following “ATE,” a bass-blasted, drill-infused single that celebrates the fact that she’s eating while her rivals struggle to keep up. That one also came with a distinct video version that leans into the song’s ballroom appeal with vogue performances and musical contributions from Jus10 and Byrell The Great— watch HERE. Before that came the kaleidoscopic “Different Color Stones.”
TiaCorine is coming off a monumental 2024 in which she dropped her critically acclaimed Almost There EP, shared the scorching hot “Shamone” music video, teamed with Luh Tyler for “Yung Joc,” and let loose a wild verse alongside A$AP Ferg on Denzel Curry’ssummer single “HOT ONE.” Following the EP release, Rolling Stone spoke to TiaCorine for an in-depth interview, and The FADER applauded how Almost There “highlights just how far her chameleonic versatility can stretch.” She also embarked on her first-ever headlining US tour.
It all started with TiaCorine’s debut album, I Can’t Wait, led by breakout track “FreakyT,” which inspired a viral dance trend and soared up the Urban Mainstream and Billboard Hip Hop/R&B charts. Her momentum grew across 2023, when she made the XXL Freshman Class and scored “Artist to Watch” nods from Rolling Stone, COMPLEX, Pigeons & Planes, Zane Lowe, Our Generation Music, and more. Cosigns from the likes of Drake, Flo Milli, and the late, great Gangsta Boo followed, as well a direct support slot with Key Glock and festival appearances including Dreamville Festival, Rolling Loud Miami, Day N Vegas, and Rolling Loud NYC. |
