Super Gremlinby Kodak Black

Album: Sniper Gang Presents Syko Bob & Snapkatt: Nightmare Babies (2021)Charted: 3 License This Song Play Video

Songfacts®:

  • Kodak Black recorded "Super Gremlin" for the Sniper Gang label Halloween-themed compilation Sniper Gang Presents Syko Bob & Snapkatt: Nightmare Babies. Sniper Gang is a record label and clothing company founded by Kodak himself.
  • Kodak centers his gritty verses on his lavish and reckless lifestyle. His reference to taking counterfeit Percocets is surprising considering he was on probation at the time.
  • Kodak directs the chorus at fellow Sniper Gang rapper Jackboy. The two had been close friends since their childhood, but the pair started beefing after Kodak claimed Sniper Gang members envy his success. He reminisces on past memories and warns Jackboy to keep his distance.
  • Producers Jambo and ATL Jacob sample the German band How to Loot Brazil's 2019 track "Errror (We Could Be Superstars)." Their relaxed, catchy production is at odds with Kodak's dark lyrics.
  • Interest in the song increased after vloggers Zias and B. Lou uploaded a "Super Gremlin" reaction video featuring Kodak himself. Portions of the visual went viral because of the Florida rapper's bizarre behavior, which led to people accusing him of being on drugs. This helped push "Super Gremlin" from #55 to #23 on the Hot 100, his first Top 40 hit since his two-year prison stretch for weapons possession.
  • The song also features on Kodak Black's 2022 Back For Everything album.
