Yachty first released “Poland” on Soundcloud last week after snippets of the song were leaked online. The 83-second track quickly gained traction with its woozy, 8-bit beat (produced by F1lthy, Lukrative, and Lucian) and its instantly memorable (and meme-able) hook, which Yachty delivers with a distinct wobble in his voice, “I took the Wock to Poland.” (“Wock” is shorthand for Wockhardt, the pharmaceutical company that makes promethazine and codeine cough syrup.)

#NowPlaying

Lil yachty, 'poland', the viral soundcloud hit is now an official track.

This #NowPlaying pick comes courtesy of Heat Check .

Here's how I imagine the making of "Poland" went:

LIL YACHTY: "You recording?" ENGINEER: "Yep." LIL YACHTY: "I TOOK THE WOOOOOOOOCK TO POLAND!" F1LTHY: "What the hell was that??" ENGINEER: "Do you wanna try that again?" LIL YACHTY: "Nah trust me ... OK, now make me sound like I'm a robot singing into a fan." RANDOM GUY IN STUDIO: "I'm leaking this."

Whether it's Michigan rap or sample drill, Yachty is constantly looking for new sounds to fold into his world. But the cyber-vibrato on "Poland" reminds me of the goofier Sailing Team days when he was emerging in the wake of Makonnen, KEY and other Atlanta rap mavericks — a singer that couldn't really sing but had enough charisma and auto-tune to pull it off. The song hinges on its insane hook. The verse is kind of forgettable. But that's all it has taken for fans to eat this thing up. Yachty is probably channeling Duwap Kaine, too, a 20-year-old from Savannah, Ga. who's quietly influenced a generation of internet rap crooners by pushing auto-tune to its limits . Kaine seemed to get the message; he's already released a remix .

Lil Yachty drops new song “Poland”

He uploaded the track exclusively to soundcloud today with the caption “stop leaking my shit.”.

Lil Yachty has released a new track titled “Poland” and indicated that his next album will be coming out sometime next year. The song is produced by F1lthy and is only available on Soundcloud for now. Yachty uploaded the track Tuesday evening (October 4) around 6 p.m. with the caption “STOP LEAKING MY SHIT .... PROD.F1LTHY .... ALBUM 2023.” Yachty’s last project, Michigan Boy Boat , arrived in October 21.

The new song finds Yachty warbling about an eastern Europian stroll over F1lthy’s hyper-saturated 8-bit trap instrumental. “I took the woooooock to Poland,” he repeats, giving the world another glimpse of the lighthearted teen who won our hearts with “ One Night ” and “ Minnesota ” back in 2015.

How Lil Yachty got whole world wailing with Poland

10 Songs that defined 2022: The rapper’s ode to cough syrup started as a joke. It ended up being his biggest hit.

Words: Will Pritchard 8th December 2022

If you wanted a snapshot of how hits are minted in 2022, you could do worse than listen to Lil Yachty’s Poland . Little more than a sketch, a sound effect, a meme – and strikingly brief at a shade over 80 seconds – it’s also one of the year’s biggest songs, clocking just shy of 100 million streams in the two months since its release.

Recorded as a joke, then leaked, then uploaded by Yachty to Soundcloud (caption: ​ “ STOP LEAKING MY SHIT”) in October, it was soon followed by a  video shot by Cole Bennett of coveted rap platform Lyrical Lemonade.

Not long after that, it was everywhere.

The Bee Gees may have started a joke that had the whole world crying , but Lil Yachty started one that had the whole world wailing. Wailing, specifically, about taking a bottle of intoxicating cough syrup to Eastern Europe. ​ “ It’s funny that people like this song,” a somewhat bemused Yachty told YouTuber Zik ​ “ ZIAS” Asiegbu. The song isn’t finished, but that doesn’t matter: it’s been remade and reimagined thousands of times over on TikTok already.

Its appeal lies somewhere in the uncanny valley of the chorus – those chilly, cyber, vibrato, shape-shifting synth lines – and the epic but scuzzy beat courtesy of F1lthy, a producer who’s also crafted synth-heavy songs by rage rap stars Playboi Carti and Yeat. It helps that it’s mostly hook, too. The solitary verse – more breather than stanza, rapped with a comedown shiver – is haunted by the ghostly, nonsensical refrain.

It’s also strikingly of its time in the sense that its enormous success (eclipsing pretty much everything Yachty’s done since he broke big with his whimsical brand of mumble rap in 2017) was both totally unpredictable and unplanned: a spark of inane inspiration catching a TikTok tailwind and pulling everyone from Steve Lacy to Cardi B into its orbit.

This is what it sounds like when the line between meme and song dissolves. Meaning and time evaporate, and all that’s left is irony. Despite being hailed ( let’s say ironically ) by Poles as a defining moment in the nation’s history, and garnering comment from a spokesperson for the Polish embassy in Washington, D.C. ( if not an actual invite to visit from the Prime Minister), Yachty was actually singing about a bottle of spring water from Maine, New England when he came up with the hook. But the whole world sang along with him anyway.

Last week (Oct. 6), Lil Yachty issued the short and simple “Poland” on SoundCloud, and the unique track automatically became a meme . Now the 25-year-old rapper is accompanying the song with a Cole Bennet-directed music video.

In the visual, Yachty finds himself jumping the turnstile at a New York subway station on a trippy trek through the train system. The viral record was produced by F1LTHY and dropped on Soundcloud after it leaked.

The sticky chorus, “I took the wooooooock to Poland,” references Wockhardt promethazine-codeine syrup.

According to HipHopDX , after the song was issued, Quality Control CEO Pierre “Pee” Thomas shared the screenshot of an alleged iMessage conversation with Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki inviting the Atlanta native to the European country.

Polish officials have not publicly confirmed nor denied the conversation.

While the “Oprah’s Bank Account” rapper has remained relatively quiet on the music front , he revealed to Complex last month that he has new music finished, but the release date is still blurry.

“My album is done. It’s mastered and done. When you’ll get it, I don’t fu**ing know. My date has been pushed back like five times. The disappointing thing is that it probably won’t be on this side of the year unfortunately.”

Lil Yachty's New Song "Poland" Is Already a Bonafide Soundcloud Hit

Oct. 6 2022, Published 4:46 p.m. ET

The golden age of Soundcloud rappers breaking through into the mainstream is about a half-decade removed from us now, but its pioneers are still using the platform to experiment and release music that might otherwise get caught up in the bureaucracy of major label politics. One such pioneer still wholly utilizing the platform that helped make him famous is Lil Yachty , and his latest release, "Poland," proves that the 2016-era energy of the platform is still alive and well today.

With its standout line, "I took the wock to Poland," coupled with other warbled vocals and a beat that demands only the best subwoofers to fully enjoy it, "Poland" is short, sweet, and a perfect example of what Lil Yachty is still capable of in 2022. What does it mean, though? Let's unpack.

Lil Yachty most definitely "took the wock to Poland" on his new track.

Coming in as his sixth collaboration with producing magnate F1LTHY (Yeat, LUCKI, Playboi Carti), "Poland" is the perfect juxtaposition between gritty and melodic. The song starts off with Lil Yachty singing its tagline, "I took the wock to Poland." For those who don't know, "wock" is short for Wockhardt, a pharmaceutical company that was founded in India in the 1960s. Wockhardt is famous for its production of promethazine and codeine cough syrup.

That syrup is the key ingredient in lean, a drink that is often made by combining the promethazine and codeine syrup with a soft drink such as Sprite as well as a Jolly Rancher or similar candy. In pop culture, the illicit beverage is often served in two styrofoam cups, commonly referred to as a "double cup."

Although the song may be short, Lil Yachty gets a lot done in its just over one-minute-long runtime. With references to Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson of Kenan and Kel in comparison to a Kel-Tec firearm as well as mentions of "battling all my demons" flanked by gun sounds, Yachty's eclectic array of imagery is alive and well on "Poland."

Be sure to check out the new song streaming exclusively on Soundcloud now.
