WATCH: Ashnikko samples a Kelis classic on new track 'Deal With It’
Ashnikko's imminent mixtape 'DEMIDEVIL' is landing weeks ahead of schedule - due to drop this Friday, January 15th.
Singer and rapper Ashnikko has debuted the Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired music video for 'Deal With It', her latest track from her forthcoming mixtape DEMIDEVIL.
Directed by Charlotte Rutherford, the pirate-themed clip for 'Deal With It' sees the artist (real name Ashton Nicole Casey) transform into a tentacle-clad monster to sing the break-up anthem.
It wasn't the original plan, but Ashnikko's new mixtape is arriving weeks ahead of schedule due to its physical copies being shipped out earlier than anticipated.
The full project is out via Warner Records this Friday, but today, she's unleashing a new single and accompanying music video from its track list.
The self-empowered song features a prominent sample of Kelis's 1999 track 'Caught Out There'.
“My tentacle break-up fantasy brought to life,” Ashnikko said of ‘Deal With It’, adding of the Kelis sample:
“Having a sample of Kelis’ ‘Caught Out There’ is an actual dream come true. My childhood musical hero.”
Referencing the mixtape scheduling error, the 24-year-old said in a message to her fans:
“I honestly don’t think it’s fair that you all don’t get to hear the music at the same time and enjoy it together. SOOO...I have made the decision to bring DEMIDEVIL forward and release it next Friday, January 15th!!!!!!!
“My pride and joy, the apple of my eye, something I’ve poured my heart and soul into, my baby DEMIDEVIL is out NEXT FRIDAY EEEEEEEEEEEEK LET’S PARTY!!!!!!!”
