Rising rap sensation Kali has unveiled the official music video for “Standards,” one of the many standout tracks on her acclaimed new EP, Toxic Chocolate, premiering today via YouTube HERE.
Toxic Chocolate – available now at all DSPs and streaming services – arrived earlier last month amidst both popular and critical acclaim, with Hot New Hip Hop simply declaring her “Rap’s Next ‘It’ Girl.” The EP is highlighted by the incendiary singles, “UonU (Feat. Yung Bleu)“ and“Standards,” the latter of which had its exclusive premiere – alongside Kali’s debut interview – on Apple Music’s New Music Daily Radio with Zane Lowe. Kali then increased the power of Toxic Chocolate with the surprise addition of the fan favorite “Chainzzz (Feat. Muni Long)” as well as a revised sequence.
The arrival of Toxic Chocolate was further joined by an electrifying performance of the EP standout, “New Day,” filmed exclusively for UPROXX Sessions and streaming now HERE.UPROXX further praised Kali for “her gift for wordplay and her spicy relationship sensibilities,” adding, “(Kali) turns the tables on the f*ckboys of hip-hop, using their manipulative tactics to even the odds and give them a taste of their own medicine.”
Recently named among Spotify’s “10 Rappers You Need To Know,” and NYLON’s “17 Under-The-Radar Black Musicians To Know Right Now,” Kali is celebrating Toxic Chocolate on her biggest U.S. tour schedule to date, joining Latto as special guest on the blockbuster Monster Energy Outbreak Tour, set to travel through an April 23rd tour finale at Atlanta, GA’s historic Tabernacle.

“MMM MMM“ proved a breakout phenomenon upon its release last summer, with its official sound now boasting more than 1.2M TikTok creates thus far. The track – which reached the top 100 on Shazam’s “Hip-Hop/Rap” chart among other successes – is joined by an equally high-energy official music video fast approaching 7M individual views via YouTube HERE.
