Following the release of her “Anxiety” single, HipHopDX 2022 Rising Star Coi Leray is taking her place as the goddess of the end times for the season finale of HBO Max show Chillin Island.
On Friday (January 18), becoming a part of a star-studded season already featuring appearances from artists such Young Thug, Lil Tecca and Killer Mike, Coi Leray joins Chillin Island rapper hosts Alec “Despot” Reinstein, Ashok “Dap” Kondabolu and Aleksey “Lakutis” Weintraub for a horseback ride with the Compton Cowboys through a smoldering, apocalyptic desert setting.
Throughout their treacherous trek in the episode, the “No More Parties” lyricist breaks down her sentiments on several topics including the love she has for exotic animals such as cheetahs and jaguars.
In addition to Coi Leray, Spanish singer Rosalía, who collaborated with The Weekend last year on his “Blinding Lights (Remix)” in addition to her Bachata hit “La Fama,” also makes a cameo in the episode and pulls up on Alec, Ashok and Aleksey in what appears to be a military-grade all-terrain vehicle stocked with half-gallon milk jugs and hair ties.
