Tkay Maidza Shares New Track, ‘Silent Assassin’

The 4AD artist's latest single was produced by Australian musician Flume

Tkay Maidza has shared a new track, ‘Silent Assassin’.

Produced by Australian artist Flume, the new cut marks the first music to emerge from the 4AD signee since 2021’s Last Year Was Weird, Vol. 3 EP. You can watch a video for ‘Silent Assassin’ above.

In a statement, Maidza said: "I like to move in silence, but this song is a reminder that people shouldn’t count me out or underestimate my abilities; they should be afraid when I’m quiet as I come back more evolved. I’ve always wanted to work with Flume and was immediately ecstatic when he played the instrumental for this; I wanted to channel Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliott."

‘Silent Assassin’ is out now on 4AD.
