Today, multi-platinum Pompano Beach rap star Kodak Black teams up with GRAMMY® Award-winning Chicago champ Chance the Rapper for “Still Get Chanel,” a romantically themed cut that revels in the creative chemistry between two artists who fluidly blend soulful melodies with freewheeling bars. Listen HERE via Vulture Love / Capitol Records, and watch the video HERE. Additionally, Kodak officially announces his next studio album Just Getting Started out on Halloween 10.31, pre-save/order HERE.  Watch the trailer HERE featuring a cameo from Lamar Jackson.

“Still Get Chanel” produced by Kodak’s longtime producer Dr. Zeus, finds Kodak getting vulnerable over chiming keys and booming drums. He brings his distinct brand of blues to the opening lines, describing a moment where he sought forgiveness from a partner who left him: “I was all f—– up, I was down as f— / Like the grass stop growin’, the wind stop blowin’ / The birds stop chirpin’ and lightning struck / But you still get Chanel and chocolate and stuff.” Chance similarly dedicates his verse to the kind of love that deserves to be nurtured — and spoiled by a trip to Rodeo Drive — mixing athletic wordplay with sincere reflection as he glides across the beat. 

It’s been several years since the duo last linked up on record — on 2 Chainz’ 2017 track “I’m Not Crazy, Life Is.” Chance, of course, is coming off the release of his long-awaited second album, STAR LINE, while Kodak continues his prolific streak both in the studio and around the communities he grew up in. In the summer, he received the key to his home city, Pompano Beach, Florida, in recognition of his significant generosity and impact over the years. He marked the honor with a song and locally shot video, “Keys to the City.”   

Additionally, Kodak dropped “Imma Shoot,” spitting some of his grittiest bars over a track that’s drawn favorable comparison from fans, peers, and press alike (including VIBE) to his massive 2021 hit “Super Gremlin,” which climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has 376 million views on YouTube alone. In July, he released “By Myself” with South Florida risers DJ E Money and G6reddot. That track samples the iconic strings from Fabolous and Ne-Yo’s 2007 hit, “Make Me Better” — in honor of that connection, Ne-Yo himself made a cameo in the “By Myself” video alongside influencer Big SLM TY. Watch HERE. 

Kodak entered 2025 with serious motion, dropping three full-length projects in less than two months at the end of 2024. On Christmas Day, he stuffed fans’ stockings with Gift for the Streets, a star-studded affair featuring Lil Yachty, Veeze, Rob49, Taylor So Made, No Limit Records OG C-Murder, DJ E Money, and more, not to mention a partial Hot Boys reunion between Juvenile and BG. But Kodak season kicked off in November with a pair of mixtapes: the haunted and inward-looking Dieuson Octave, titled after the artist’s actual birth name (see “Catch Fire”), and Trill Bill, which for the most part captured him from a different angle — the “fly, fresh, and foolish” side, to quote Kodak (see “News Matt”).  

Before all that, Kodak was focused on his record label’s first official project, Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies on Earth, which dropped in the summer of 2024 featuring contributions from VVSNCE, Lil Crix, GorditoFlo, Big Fredo, Jay Dirty, and more. Listen HERE. Ever the collaborator, he’s recently popped up on singles “Florida Flow” on Jackboys 2, Ty Dolla $ign “Smile Body Pretty Face”, Marques Houston “Hold On”. 

Kodak’s expansive vision and status continue to transcend rap. Over the years, he’s cultivated the role of a prophetic storyteller and a staple cultural figure. He has over 25 billion global streams to his name and continues to engage in altruism within his beloved Florida community, from covering rents during tough economic times, to giving out AC units in the heat of the summer, on to annual his annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive — last year Kodak gave out 1,800 turkeys in honor of the 1800 block he grew up on. Deep into 2025, he’s continuing to ride for the next generation while affirming his place as a creative beacon. 

Combining vivid street vignettes with the soul of a world-weary blues singer, Kodak Black is one of rap’s most indelible innovators. Just over a decade since he launched his first single, 2014’s “No Flockin,” straight onto the Hot 100, the prolific South Florida superstar keeps racking up the numbers — 44 Billboard Hot 100 chart placements, 30 RIAA-certified platinum or gold records, 25 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 25 billion global streams — and yet, it somehow seems like he’s nowhere near the top of his powers. In the last year or so he’s dropped three full-length solo projects, a posse album from each of his two record labels (Sniper Gang and Vulture Love), and been awarded the key to his native city, Pompano Beach, in recognition of his significant generosity and impact on the community over the years. He’s also a game collaborator regularly sought out by fellow rap giants (Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, Juice WRLD, Playboy Carti), but quick to lend his shine to young artists on the rise, too. One of his generation’s most gifted songwriters, with an inimitable vocal style that fluidly blends soulful melodies and freewheeling bars, Kodak Black is a force of nature: unpredictable, undeniable, and certain to leave his mark on this world — in more ways than one — for years to come.  

Combining street vignettes with the soul of a world-weary blues singer, Kodak Black is rap’s most indelible innovator. Since releasing “No Flockin” in 2014, the 26-year-old has turned pain and mortal danger into block boy scripture. He’s earned 42 Billboard Hot 100 chart placements, billions of streams, over 30 platinum and gold RIAA-certified records, and status as one of his generation’s most gifted songwriters. In 2023, he reinforced his reputation with When I Was Dead, a cathartic new album for Capitol Records. After building momentum with popular freestyles, Kodak consummated his level-up with Project Baby, a 2013 mixtape that crystallized his penchant for immediate, first-person narratives and anthemic hooks that invoked the spirit of his neighborhood — Pompano Beach, FL. By 2016, he’d become XXL Freshman. The following year, his debut album Painting Pictures debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. In 2018, his Travis Scott and Offset-featuring single, “ZEZE,” peaked at No. 2. Despite several stints in prison, his winning streak has only continued. At the end of 2021, Kodak’s searing “Super Gremlin” peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. His appearances on Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers only reaffirmed his status as a young legend. On the way to superstardom, he’s also become an entrepreneur and a philanthropist. He’s launched two labels—Sniper Gang and the newer Vulture Love—which he hopes will reinforce the reality raps he’s let loose since before he was old enough to drive.
