Eagle-eyed fans are convinced the single’s artwork - which contains a series of 13 icons in the bottom right corner, the fourth of which corresponds to the “DHL” cover - is a hint that there’s an album on the way. The hook flexes about drugs, sex, diamonds, and coming back from trips around the world to new mail at home, name-checking the international express shipping company DHL and the Japanese motor-vehicle company Kawasaki, while geeking over Starbucks and trade, like a queer rendering of the woozy dream sequences of A$AP Rocky’s Testing.
The lyrics range from devilishly conceited (“Niggas think it’s new, it ain’t new, boy / Old files just turned two, yeah / Still sound like it’s coming soon, yeah” “Independent juug, sellin’ records out the trunk / I’m already rich as fuck, so the product’s in the front”) to mysterious (“This ain’t no fuckin’ hopes and dreams prophecy / How’d he sleep? Faith is in the coffee bean”) to just plain horny (“Boy toy suck me like a Hoover / Boy toy ride me like an Uber”). Co-produced by German house DJ Boys Noize, Ocean’s new “DHL” is a psychedelic floss track rooted in the cryptic swag rap of 2016’s Endless. Is Frank Ocean circling album mode again? In the last five days, the Blonded team rolled out a new party, a new radio mix, a new single, a bounce remix of Blonde’s “Nights,” and more.
After the album came out, I ended up recovering that drive, and I had it for a while, and then I ended up losing it again.If PrEP+’s aim was to assemble a constellation of queer media and celebrities and force a conversation through them, then everyone is talking.
“I had lost the hard drive that had the Frank vocals on it. How great would this track have been if it happened? Let us know on Twitter. All I have is the original hook from the original session that we did, so I don’t think it’s gonna see the light of day, but the hook is amazing!” Hit-Boy said. After the album came out, I ended up recovering that drive, and I had it for a while, and then I ended up losing it again. “What happened was, I had lost the hard drive that had the Frank vocals on it. The track was meant to be on Nas’ 2012 album Life Is Good but never happened because the song got lost. Together, Hit-Boy and Frank Ocean had a track called “No Such Thing As White Jesus” that they had planned to have Nas jump on as well. Hit-Boy recently sat down with DJBooth for an interview and discussed a project he was working on with Frank Ocean during 2012.
