There’s no stopping Tink on her rise to top. Following killer singles Ratchet Commandments and I Like the Chicago MC has dropped a music video for her Timbaland-produced track, Million. When i-D spoke with the Chicago artist for our 35th birthday issue, she filled us in on how the collaboration came to be: “Timbaland heard a record of mine and insisted on producing my debut album.” If you’ve heard her, you’ll know exactly why she caught Timbaland’s eye. He’s even heralded her as “the one” heir to Aaliyah’s throne. Fittingly, Tink’s Million samples Aaliyah’s song, One in a Million.
In the clip Tink raps, sings and dances like a true triple threat. She also reps Melbourne label Di$count Univer$e. Check it out.
