"Racks on Racks" is a song by Lil Pump. The song is from his second studio album Harverd Dropout (2019).[1][2] It was produced by frequent collaborator Diablo.

Background

On October 21, 2018, Pump revealed the song on Instagram by sharing a video of its snippet.[3] He was seen moving his head in the video while wearing a chain. The post was captioned with "RACKS ON RACKS I'm back on my old shit bitchhhhh 500k comments I'll drop it now."[4] The song lyrically discusses Pump having a lot of money.[3] The song was premiered by Zane Lowe on Beats 1,[5] and will be included in Pump's Harverd Dropout debut album.[6] Uproxx compared the song to Pump's 2017 single "Gucci Gang", noting its similarity of having a "choppy, staccato flow that first made him a household name."[7]

Music video

The official music video for the song, directed by Brthr, was released on January 31, 2019. It features Pump "jet ski-stunting with monster trucks and airplanes while bragging about his money and women",[1] in a desert which eventually advances to scenes featuring "Twisted Metal-inspired animation" with Pump "driving his monster truck through a colourful mass of flaming wreckage."[8][9] Consequence of Sound described the video, stating "it’s like a very bad, Hollywood ensemble action film, except the only star you’re getting is Lil Pump, which is… well, disappointing is an understatement."[10] Highsnobiety described it as "evoking a Mad Max-inspired setting with a Gucci-clad Pump partying it up in a desert, surrounded by video vixens wielding flame cannons and other weaponry."[11][12]
