Lil Tecca dipped into his Pharrell bag for this one!
The YNs had a feast yesterday as Playboi Carti delivered a massive 30-track project, while Lil Tecca treated his cult following to “Dark Thoughts,” his first single of 2025. The track is expected to appear on his highly anticipated album Dopamine, the follow-up to last year’s solid PLAN A.
One of the standout elements of “Dark Thoughts” is its production, which channels old-school The Neptunes vibes, reminiscent of tracks where Pharrell effortlessly stole the show. While Pharrell isn’t featured, Lil Tecca holds his own with an appealing vocal performance, blending melodic raps with effortless swagger. Lyrically, he leans into his signature smooth-talker persona, boasting about his ability to make a girl loosen up around him. Though the verses feel somewhat understated, the chorus is where he truly shines—delivering a hook that’s both catchy and undeniably memorable.
With Dopamine on the horizon, “Dark Thoughts” sets the tone for what could be one of Lil Tecca’s most dynamic projects yet.
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
