Popcaan returns with a new single set to be featured in the Nocta x Nike debut campaign.
Weeks after Drake took to Instagram to tease the track, OVO Sound’s Reggae ambassador, Popcaan, is back with his new single “Skeleton Cartier”. Not only is this the first single from his upcoming album Great Is He, but it will be featured in the campaign for Drake’s first official Nike x NOCTA shoe collab.
The release is a follow up to his 2020 project FIXTAPE which gave us the mega hit “Twist & Turn” featuring label mates Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR. A mix of dancehall and nocturnal new wave, “Skeleton Cartier” features passionate melodies and an upbeat yet laid back rhythm that you’ll want to blast at a barbecue this spring or vibe to by yourself after a long day.
On the song, Popcaan takes some time to boast about his status as a dancehall pioneer while flexing about his level up since we last saw him.
Woi, skeleton Cartier
Tell dem seh mi richer dan last year
Fresh Louis V, fresh Nike Air
Gyal ah seh mi skin pretty dan a bike flair
But underneath all the flexing, is a message about hard work and inspiration for those coming behind him.
“This song is about how I was feeling after I ordered myself a Skeleton Cartier watch for my birthday,” he says. “This was possible because I put in the work. The aim is always to be richer — in more ways than one!”
