Critically speaking, “what’s next?” channels the playful bravado found in the stylings of Jack Harlow’s music. The track brings the kind of irreverent, self-assured energy that would set the stage for an LP—a statement of intent, bracing listeners for what’s to come. Fans of songs like Ian’s “Magic Johnson” will recognize a similar mood: bold and impossible to ignore.
Sonically, “what’s next?” falls under the genre of trap, a subgenre of hip-hop music that originated in the Southern United States. This sound can be heard in the record signified by a strong 808 pattern that drives the record forward with the hats & claps providing bounce and vitality to the drum section. With MattyInk as the track’s sole producer, these elements prove him not only student of the genre, but also a life-long fan.
From the opening lines—“They don’t wanna know / Wanna know what’s next / LV bags and a private jet”—the song invites listeners into MattyInk’s lifestyle, where success and ambition are non-negotiables. The artist’s candid, unfiltered delivery has drawn comparisons to the charismatic, confident styles of BBNO$ and Russ, blending charisma with a knowing sense of purpose.
Paired with the release of this new single, Ink unveiled an entrancing music video complete with flashy vocal deliveries and intoxicating party vibes. The video features MattyInk as the focal point while pandemonium ensues exemplifying lyrics such as, “Got 10… in the back of my bus /… / Hell no I ain’t going home till I finish my cup” as patrons come and go from his allegorical party bus.
MattyInk’s vivid storytelling shines through as heard in the song’s final line: “Did a national ad / And Dick’s cut the check / Called up my agent like um / Where the… is the rest?” These lyrics detail Ink’s foray into the commercial acting scene hinting at some of the recent success he’s garnered on the screen. Coupled with the track’s consistent flow, these lines keep the energy high and the tone irreverent, never shying away from celebration.
This record serves as a fitting introduction into what promises to be a bold new chapter in MattyInk’s catalog. Fans and new listeners alike should take note: “what’s next?” is more than just a single—it’s Ink’s invitation to join him at the start of a long musical journey, where irreverence, energy, and good times reign supreme.
The single “what’s next?” is available everywhere music streams, and the video can be found on all video enabled streaming platforms. Listen today, and follow MattyInk for more releases as the story unfolds.
