"Flocky Flocky" is a song by American rapper Don Toliver, released on October 8, 2021 from his second studio album Life of a Don and released as a single with a music video on October 11, 2021. It features American rapper Travis Scott. The song was produced by Cardo, Dez Wright and Mu Lean.
A snippet of the song surfaced online in October 2020.[1]
Following the release of Life of a Don, Don Toliver told Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1:
"Flocky Flocky" was one regular studio recording day I had and [Travis Scott] randomly […] came to my session and just pulled up on me. I already had that record, I just did that record before he walked in. He pulled up and instantly laid his verse down. I was just happy man, I was just happy he pulled up to the session, period. Seeing him get on the mic and doing that verse was exciting.[2]
In December 2021, Mu Lean released a video in which he walks through the production process of the song.[3]
Composition
Critical reception
Aron A. of HotNewHipHop called the song a "trancey banger",[4] while Robin Murray of Clash called it "an addictive Travis Scott burner".[5] Kyann-Sian Williams of NME gave a negative review, commenting that "the duo court that moody sound but also add the tinny melodies popular in pop-rap nowadays. It feels chaotic and rushed, never mind Travis Scott's mostly nonsensical lines: 'I keep a place to bait, to tune your brain up / She stuffs her face in cake, no way it's safe'."[6]
Music video
An official music video was released on October 11, 2021. Shot through fisheye lens with grainy, night vision-like footage,[7][8] it starts with the rappers racing in their Lamborghinis on a highway at night,[7][8][9][10] before fueling up and boarding a private jet to New Orleans.[7][8][11] They hang out in the studio, dine on wings and throw money at a strip club,[7][8][9][11] visit a mural of Lil Wayne in his neighborhood of Hollygrove[7][8][10] and ride in a limousine.[11]
