Dom Corleo is trying to seduce a woman while also flexing on his haters on this jittery new single, "KARATE KICKIN."

Dom Corleo is back with a woozy and low-end-heavy new single "KARATE KICKIN," which is actually a bit more muddled than its confrontational title might suggest. Still, persistent hi-hats, deep bass, occasional gunshot sounds, and a relentless flow on the mic means that the high energy of his material is still there. The California-born, now Phoenix-based rapper sounds a bit distant on this new song, but his brag-heavy raps fit well with a light synth syncopation and a glitchy approach to the production. For those who feel overwhelmed by new-gen hip-hop sounds like rage, but still appreciate some of the sonic identity beneath, Dom Corleo's new song "KARATE KICKIN" might be the sweet spot you're looking for.

Quotable Lyrics from KARATE KICKIN

Canary diamonds on my neck,
I look down and see myself like it's mirrors on them,
Everybody acting strange,
As soon as I got rich, I got weird on them

About The Author
Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
