NYC artist Junglepussy released a great album in 2018 called JP3 that was followed up with the even better JP4 a couple years later. At the rate she's working, one might assume that JP5 would be coming soon. Well, yes and no—the other day, the rapper announced her next project is called JP5000, which is only a few thousand numbers off from where we thought this was going. But the best part of the announcement is that it's coming this Friday. Along with the news, Junglepussy released the video for a new single called "Critiqua."

Over a bluesy guitar and a shuffling drumbeat, JP's delivery is unhurried and cooly self-assured as she eschews detractors like flicking a piece of lint off her shirt. "Pregnant with success and you know what they did / Trying to test something so sacred / They can't assess nothing I'm saying," she raps on one line looking back on her 2015 album.

The accompanying Caity Arthur–directed visual features Junglepussy in a trio of kickass outfits. Check it out below.
