As SZA and Lil Yachty have promised on separate occasions, their collaboration “Chill Baby” highlights the deluxe edition of SZA’s latest album, SOS: Lana. Lil Yachty, who produced the track alongside producers Sad Pony, Cade, Calvin Dickinson, iseeyou and Julian Fried, revealed the song in an interview, while SZA joined Lizzo and Kai Cenat during a livestream marathon in November Speeches were given in this song. In her songs, SZA masterfully captures the chaos of life and the pursuit of inner peace. She bravely takes on the challenge of letting go of her fears while conveying her message through chillwave production.
The Deluxe Edition includes an exciting list of collaborators. Kendrick Lamar sings lead vocals on “30 for 30,” continuing the pair’s artistic synergy after SZA appeared on two songs from his recent GNX album. The project also showcases Benny Blanco’s production on select tracks, while key SOS contributors such as Michael Uzowuru, ThankGod4Cody, Rob Bisel and Carter Lang will also return to shape the album’s sonic landscape. With her upcoming stadium tour with Kendrick Lamar, the timing for the new material feels perfect. SZA has been tirelessly supporting SOS since its initial release two years ago.
“Chill Baby” is SZA and Lil Yachty’s second collaboration after collaborating with Flo Milli on “Never Lose”. Wiz Khalifa and Cardi B feature on the March track. It supports Lamar’s new album GNX, which features chart-topping tracks “squabble up,” “luther” and “tv off.”
“Cold Baby”-SZA
I’m in and out of town, lies revealed
Rely on strategy to end here
What doesn’t kill you makes you strong. This is the law that keeps you going.
Defying gravity to face my fears
God’s reminder that I can’t stop shit
