Russ had a solid 2020 with his Shake The Snow Globe album, the CHOMP EP and the loosies he dropped each Friday for a couple of months. If you’re a Russ fan, you definitely ate.

But the independent rapper is looking to keep building momentum as he enters 2021. On Wednesday, he dropped a surprise announcement that he’s releasing a new single ‘UGLY’ featuring fellow Atlanta resident on Thursday at midnight along with its music video.

Watch the trailer. The Boi-1da produced track will be available everywhere at midnight in the U.S. but it’s already out in select international markets where it’s Friday already. The horns-driven, low tempo beat provides both rappers a perfect pocket to do their thing.

“I don’t gotta say, “What’s up” to you, I don’t gotta say, “Hey”
And I don’t gotta act like I f*ck with you, b*tch, I’m already paid
And if you talk sh*t, then it’s up with you, and it’s where it’s gon’ stay
‘Cause I don’t gotta act like I fuck with you, ’cause I’m already paid
‘Cause I got your b*tch now in love with me
And now I’m in this b*tch now, and it’s getting ugly”
