The drought is almost over. Iggy Azalea surprised fans Thursday (July 5) when she dropped two new singles: the grimy “Kream” featuring Tyga and the similarly dark “Tokyo Snow Trip.”

In a recent interview, the Australian rapper compared the latter to the Ying Yang Twins’ hushed “The Whisper Song” from 2005, which makes sense since her verses alternate the rapper’s signature swaggy delivery with a more hushed, whispery vibe.

“Roads with the cracks, with the rats, and the roaches (roaches)/ Bust the duffle bag open (open)/ Hush money in the sofa (shhh)/ Bitch, you know what I’m talkin’,” Azalea raps on “Snow Trip,” which slinks along on an ominous, booming bass-drum kick and not much else on a Bedrock-produced track that is being offered up gratis along with “Kream” for fans who pre-order the upcoming six-track Survive the Summer EP.

Azalea was working on an album titled  Digital Distortion  for much of 2017, which she scrapped in November in favor of the six-pack  Surviving the Summer , which is due Friday. A fresh deal was cut with Island and a new single, the Quavo-assisted “Savior,” dropped in February.  Surviving the Summer  follows her 2014 release, Reclassified , a reissue of her top three Billboard 200 debut  The New Classic . 

Trending on Billboard

“Kream,” which samples Wu-Tang Clan’s legendary 1993 song “C.R.E.A.M.,” is a similarly spare, slow-bounce track that references both punk icon Sid Vicious and model Bella Hadid in the lines, “Keep that energy, gon’ up that Hennessy (ass)/ I need my bag quickly/ Separate 6 degrees, bitches said they know me/ Sex pistols, Sid Vicious, what you want is horny/ Hit me on my cash app, check it in the morning/ Cash, in this bitch shinin’/ Dressed in designer, she could get heightening/ And it’s perfect timing, dream with the tanny/ Bella Hadid, homie could get it,” before dropping into the blunt bridge “Ass/ Cash, cash/ Ass, bags/ Bag/ Cash rules everything around me.”

Iggy Azalea Reveals Sultry Cover Art For 'Surviving the Summer' EP

Four years after the release of The New Classic , Azalea has been teasing the Summer EP for the past week, posting a series of images from what appears to be the “Kream” video and the sultry album cover, a nod to Janet Jackson’s iconic 1993 Rolling Stone magazine cover. The posts tease a July 6 release date for the EP.

Meaning of Tokyo Snow Trip by Iggy Azalea

"Tokyo Snow Trip" by Iggy Azalea is a song that explores themes of resilience, empowerment, and success against all odds. The lyrics depict Iggy Azalea's journey of rising from difficult circumstances and overcoming obstacles.

In the verses, Iggy Azalea emphasizes her humble beginnings, originating from a place filled with poverty and struggle symbolized by the cracks, rats, and roaches. The mention of opening a duffel bag suggests a newfound abundance or wealth, while the hush money hidden in the sofa implies secrecy or power dynamics in her journey. Iggy Azalea asserts her strength and confidence, affirming that she knows what she's carrying, hinting at her determination to succeed.

The pre-chorus portrays her arrival in a luxurious car, symbolizing her ascent from poverty. She refers to her "dope" as the "dopest," highlighting her talent and individuality. The line about falling asleep with the stove lit can be interpreted as a metaphor for her relentless work ethic and dedication to her craft.

The chorus introduces the motif of "ho-hocus Pocus" and a "Pinocchio nose drip." These lines may symbolize the deceit and artifice in the entertainment industry or the façades people put on to attain success. The phrase "Tokyo snow trip" suggests a metaphorical journey to a foreign and exotic place, signifying a departure from her origins. The mention of waking up in Mexico represents the realization of her dreams and the freedom she has achieved. The line about "ya bae got no chest" refers to someone lacking ambition or substance, contrasting with Iggy Azalea's own drive and determination. The reference to hitting the gym and stretching the ass can be interpreted as a metaphor for pushing oneself physically and mentally to reach new heights.

The post-chorus conveys a sense of luxury, with references to the Ghost (Rolls-Royce car) and the Rolex watch. These lines suggest that Iggy Azalea has reached a level of success where she can enjoy the finer things in life. She also warns others not to approach her and her crew, portraying them as powerful and intimidating. The reference to her "bitches" chasing like Moët mimosas indicates the loyalty and determination of her female companions.

The song's bridge and outro reiterate the idea of rising from difficult circumstances, emphasizing Iggy Azalea's journey from the cracks with the rats and roaches. The repetition of "bust a duffle bag open," "hush money in the sofa," and "bitch, you know what I'm totin'" reinforces her confidence and self-assuredness.

Overall, "Tokyo Snow Trip" depicts Iggy Azalea's journey of triumph over adversity, highlighting her determination, resilience, and eventual success, while also touching on the opulence and challenges that accompany such a journey.

Iggy Azalea reveals meaning behind her new song 'Tokyo Snow Trip'

On Thursday (July 5), Iggy Azalea surprised her fans as she dropped two new music, "Kream" featuring Tyga and "Tokyo Snow Trip." After the singer dropped the music, fans were quick to assume that 'Tokyo Snow Trip' was about her doing cocaine but the rapper was quick to make it clear that she is not the person she refers to in the song.

As reported by Daily Mail , she wrote "To clarify, TST is about a b**ch doing coke and being a f**king liar a** crazy b**ch. It's not ME doing any. lol." The tweet has since been deleted. The lyrics of the song go as: "Rose from the cracks, with the rats and the roaches. Bust the duffle bag open. Hush money in the sofa. B**ch, you know what I'm totin'. Pinocchio nose drip, Tokyo snow trip."

The two songs are from her new EP Surviving The Summer. While Iggy revealed the meaning behind the songs, she also admitted her frustration towards the songs being released in  Australia and New Zealand before the United States. But she understood she could do nothing about it because of the time difference. "Just woke up. So I guess Australia and NZ released my new stuff and pre-order on what's technically July 6... Just isn't where I live in America so. I dunno," she wrote. 

She further added, "I'm not mad obviously but also I don't want to celebrate until it's time here in the States." Iggy has been heavily promoting her new album. The album will be released worldwide on Friday (July 6). In her recent interview with Billboard , the rapper explained that she compared the song 'Tokyo Snow Trip' to the Ying Yang Twins' hushed "The Whisper Song" from 2005.

"Roads with the cracks, with the rats, and the roaches (roaches)/ Bust the duffle bag open (open)/ Hush money in the sofa (shhh)/ Bitch, you know what I'm talkin'," she said at that time. At the same time, Iggy was recently spotted arriving at a film set in Los Angeles to make a music video featuring Tyga. At Coachella in April, the pair sparked dating rumors as they were spotted with their hands wrapped around each other's waist. 

The 'Black Widow' star was seen sporting an orange Fendi dress and spent the night with Tyga and Wong G. Wong G also posted a picture on Instagram with Azalea, Tyga and Kourtney Kardashian's boyfriend, Younes Bendjima. The rappers stood together as they watched The Weeknd perform on stage. It was during The Weeknd's live version of 'Might Not' that Tyga apparently put his arm around the 'Mo Bounce' star sparking rumors that something more could be going on between the two.
