Lil Yachty Drops “Poland” Music Video

The latest musician to go wildly viral on TikTok is Georgia-born “bubblegum trap” artist Lil Yachty, whose sub-two-minute earworm “Poland” has been all over the app this week. The astonishingly hooky, F1LTHY-produced track, in which Yachty repeatedly warbles, “I took the Wock’ to Poland,” has now hit streaming services and received an official music video, directed by Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett.

Originally recorded in 2021, “Poland” sat on the shelf until a snippet leaked in late August, per Genius, inspiring a miffed Yachty to release the track on SoundCloud (“STOP LEAKING MY SHIT …. PROD.F1LTHY …. ALBUM 2023,” he teased in the track description) on Oct. 4. Fans immediately latched onto the central, lean-referencing lyric (Wockhardt, “Wock’” for short, is a pharmaceutical company that manufactures codeine/promethazine cough syrup), and have even painted pictures of Yachty’s now-mythical trip to Poland, including one the rapper swore he would make the official single art. (For now, at least on Spotify, it’s just a map of Poland, with the country shaded cough-syrup purple.)
