Strike (Holster)

"Strike (Holster)" is a song by American rapper Lil Yachty, released on April 7, 2023 by Quality Control Music and Motown. It was produced by Teddy Walton and Aaron Bow.

Background
The song was first previewed in December 2022 on social media. It was released months after Yachty released his psychedelic rock-influenced album Let's Start Here (2023), and is considered a return to his signature melodic rap sound.

Composition
"Strike (Holster)" uses a melodic rap approach, featuring "space-age" synths, a "laid-back" atmosphere, and a "sonic vibrato utilized throughout" the song, while also combining with psychedelic elements. The song also contains "boastful lyrics about money, drugs, and women".

Music video
An official music video was directed by Cole Bennett. It sees Lil Yachty at a forest reserve, lakeside pier, and in a parking garage where a "massive bottle is seen strapped to a Maybach". He wears a different outfit for each of the locations; respectively, they are flannel and denim, bright red, and black clothing. His sister, Nina Simone, makes a cameo at the end of the clip.
