Megan Thee Stallion Revisits Old Beat for New ‘Outta Town Freestyle’

As a certain Canadian pop performer would say, Megan Thee Stallion is back on her beat. A beat she freestyled over years ago, that is. Megan revisited the Lil Ju production for her “Outta Town Freestyle,� released on August 12, a day after she netted six VMA nominations. The 80-second performance finds Megan at her best, talking shit and taking names. “I love to shit on these n- - - -s / I love to piss off a bitch,� she declares in the freestyle’s first lines. A later choice line: “They should call me Dr. Miami because I bodied them.� And we would have to agree!

Megan said the followup to her debut, Good News, “will be aggressive,� adding, “This project is me talking my sh–, getting back comfortable with myself, getting back to the Megan that was on the come-up.�
