Noname is back with a new banger, “Hundred Acres,” the lead single from her upcoming project, Cartoon Radio. It comes with an accompanying music video, which you can watch below.
While the Chicago rapper hasn’t shared a release date or tracklist for the follow-up to 2023’s Sundial, “Hundred Acres” is a promising start to her new era. Produced by Greg Paul and Brandon Cordoba, the track features a throwback hip-hop beat and razor-sharp lyrics.
“Liberate a free state, communism sweepstakes,” Noname raps. “We on a island, I’m sellin’ seaweed to Poseidon/ He gave us free housing, somethin’ to spend a life in/ My heart buck out, animated like a Black cookout wit’ Johnny Bravo/ He the white lookout, don’t look up.”

Directed by Daren Rabinovitch, the visual marks her first official music video. At the beginning of the colorful clip, Noname rides a bicycle with a smile on her face and is joined by a costumed character simply named The Creature, who shows off some funky dance moves on the street. Later on, she dons her own bird costume and joins The Creature in a choreographed routine.
Outside of music, Noname continues to run her Noname Book Club, which currently hosts meetings in 38 cities across Africa, the United States, and beyond. Those interested in joining can sign up for the newsletter here.
