My buddy Ray Brady and I started working on something, trying to add in all the elements that made sense, kicks, subs, new wave synths. “I had started working on this beat and I didn’t have anything in mind for a topic, I just knew I wanted to do a sort of rap punk song (as dangerous as that sounds). Santigold further explained the song’s creation via a lengthy press release: “ I got that manna for you, mama, I’ll take your money fool, send it off to the Bahama, I’ll roast you, dry bake you, fry ’til you’re golden, come on, I’m takin’ no drama, only answer to your honor, they talk about bitches, they talk, that shit stop at me, now bow down, don’t freak out in the presence of a queen, they talk about big things, don’t make none, ’cause deep down they sleep, watch how-to vids, while to the top, I got a ticket going one way…” The track sees her rapping confidently about her presence on the music scene and sending a message to anyone who has something to say about it:
Last week, Santigold marked her official return to wax with “High Priestess,” a genre-bending effort that she co-produced alongside Psymun, Ryan Olson, Boys Noize, and Ray Brady. She did release a dancehall-inspired mixtape, I Don’t Want: The Gold Fire Sessions, a couple of years later - she could also be seen making contributions of varying degrees for the likes of OneRepublic, Diplo, Tyler, The Creator, and GoldLink. It’s been six years since Santigold liberated her last official album 99¢, a 12-song body of work that saw additional assist from B.C.
