Her First Solo Release of the Year
Atlanta rap star Kaliii is officially back with her first solo single of the year — “Dat Girl” — out today on all streaming platforms. Coming fresh off maternity leave, Kaliii makes it known that motherhood hasn’t slowed her down. If anything, it amplified her glow. “Dat Girl” is a bold and bouncy reminder that confidence is forever, and that no matter what life throws your way, you’re always that girl.
The track arrives just in time for summer, serving as the season’s ultimate anthem for women who move with purpose and style. Paired with a vibrant official video that captures Kaliii enjoying a carefree day out with her girls, the release radiates bad bitch energy and freedom, the perfect combo that fuels any good summer.
Kaliii has kept her foot on the gas with a string of high-energy features leading up to this moment. Last year she dropped her boasting single, “Hot Girl Maybach,” she linked up with Hunxho on the fan-favorite “Gas You Up” and traded slick verses with Monaleo on a viral sleeper hit, “Flush Em.”
She kept the bars flowing earlier this year, when she brought raw Houston flavor alongside KenTheMan on their fiery collaboration, “I Got Questions.”
With “Dat Girl,” Kaliii reclaims her crown and reminds fans why she’s a force in the rap game — equal parts feminine, fearless, and fly.

Kaliii continues to prove she’s one of the most magnetic and relatable voices in rap. Widely recognized as a true girls’ girl, Kaliii has built her brand on championing confidence, female empowerment, and having fun on your own terms. After her 2023 breakout year, she kept her foot on the gas in 2024 with the release of “Gas You Up” featuring Hunxho — a sultry, self-assured anthem that shows off her signature blend of flirtation and finesse. She’s also lent her voice to standout collaborations with fellow rising stars Monaleo and Lil Kayla, further cementing her status as both a collaborator and a connector within the new wave of women in rap.
Her rise began with the viral smash “Area Codes”, which exploded across TikTok and beyond, spawning regional remixes as part of her #ToxicThursday series. From New York’s Kenzo B (“718 Remix”) to The Bay’s Lil Kayla (“415 Remix”), St. Louis’s Sexyy Red (“314 Remix”), and Florida’s Luh Tyler (“850 Remix”), Kaliii’s remixes became a celebration of culture, connection, and confidence. She released them as a bundle titled Area Codes: The Remixes, alongside a visual for the fan-favorite 718 version.
Building on that momentum, she dropped Toxic Chocolate: Area Codes Edition and earned a spot on the Barbie movie soundtrack, a 2023 MTV VMA nomination for Best New Artist, and released her follow-up single “K Toven.” Her second project of 2023, FCK GIRL SZN, featured heavy-hitting guests like Young Nudy, GloRilla, and NLE Choppa, delivering bangers tailor-made for women moving on and leveling up.
Kaliii first made her mark in 2022 with the acclaimed EP Toxic Chocolate, which led to her inclusion in the XXL Freshman Class and glowing press from outlets like HotNewHipHop, who dubbed her “Rap’s Next ‘It’ Girl.” From the bold “FNF (Freestyle)” to the flirty “Wet” and empowered anthems like “UonU” and “Chainzzz” ft. Muni Long, Kaliii set the tone for a new era of women in hip-hop — raw, real, and unapologetically fun.
With “Dat Girl” up next, Kaliii isn’t slowing down. Whether she’s outside living her best life or collaborating with the girls and the guys, Kaliii is always in her bag — and she’s bringing the girls with her.
