In 2018, before it was possible to tell six-hour sagas over the course of several 10 minute TikToks, social media’s foremost mirco-video app was Instagram. Instagram videos could only be a minute long back then, and Tierra Whack made expanse from this limitation in Whack World, a surreal and shiny music film that ran 15 minutes long, stringing together 15 music videos for 15 songs that were each just 60 seconds. It was genius and it was heralded as such, launching Whack’s career as a well respected rapper.

Tierra Whack has released her new album, World Wide Whack, via Interscope Records. Stream one of our most anticipated albums of 2024 below.
Billed as her debut album, World Wide Whack follows Whack’s acclaimed 2018 project Whack World. Much like her first debut, this debut’s artsy, playful take on hip-hop comes accompanied by original images and videos. The combination of sonics and visuals fleshes out the fictional character Whack inhabits for the duration of the album, a character who’s described as “an alter ego both untouchable and vulnerable, superhuman, and painfully human.”
Whack went deeper into the project’s vulnerability in an Instagram post that she posted alongside the single “27 Club.” “I was in a dark place for a long time, and no one knew. I found my way out and made a choice to keep living,” she wrote. “I wanna be completely transparent with my ‘whackos’ because I...

World Wide Whack, the forthcoming album from Tierra Whack, is a portal into another universe. On the album’s first single “Shower Song,” the rapper offers a glimpse into her day-to-day routine.
“Gettin’ ready for my day/So, I gotta get fresh, gotta exfoliate/You know Dove is the best,” Whack sings. “I ain’t never in no rush/I perform it like a major/And I heard my phone ring/But I’ll call ’em back later.”

Tierra Whack has announced her new album, World Wide Whack, out March 15th via Interscope Records. She will also share a new single called “Shower Song” this Friday, January 26th.
Described in a press release as the Philly rapper and singer’s “most artistic project to date,” World Wide Whack is being billed as her debut album. It was created with conceptual artist Alex Da Corte, who previously directed the animated video for her 2020 song “Dora.”
Much like her 2018 full-length, Whack World, the album will also roll out as a visual art project featuring images and video. During that process, it will reveal Whack’s fictional World Wide Whack character: “an alter ego both untouchable and vulnerable, superhuman, and painfully human.”
Da Corte designed the cover artwork, which references Pierrot, the original sad clown of 17th-century Italian theater; radical 1930s fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli; and Donna Summer. Check it out below.

A new leather goods campaign for the Prada Galleria handbag, a heritage style celebrated for its craftsmanship and wearability, stars the award-winning actress Scarlett Johansson seen through the eyes of Venezuelan-American artist Alex Da Corte. Entitled “The Glass Age,” the campaign is a color-blocked wonderland of Johansson rendered as echoes and mirrored reflections of herself, to honor the vivid expression and referential nature of the fashion industry and its trends.
Johansson was chosen for the imagery — which promotes eight special-edition colorways and geometric designs of the iconic handbag (available starting May 19) — because of her transformative work playing roles across a range of identities and personalities, according to the house.
“In essence, she is herself a reflection, a refraction — interpreting and embodying another individual, bringing her own inherent qualities to her depiction,...

Philly rapper Tierra Whack has released a new song, “Dora,” alongside a charmingly weird animated video.
“Dora” boasts a decisively playful quality, with a beat centered around burbling synths and a simple yet serene vocal loop. Whack both matches this tenor and toys with it as she bends and twists her voice, peeling off bars like, “Shining like a diamond, fine dining/Forty thousand, turn that shit to fifty thousand/Bitch I’m wilding, stranded on an island/Money piling, Rolex cause I put that time in.”
