TIACORINE DROPS NEW SINGLE “ATE”
FOLLOW-UP TO ACCLAIMED ALMOST THERE EP LISTEN HERE
Today, genre-bending rap phenom TiaCorine kicks in doors with the hard-hitting “Ate,” out now via Interscope Records. As the new single swan dives into the stuttering, bass-blasted world of drill, the rising artist celebrates the fact that she’s eating while her rivals struggle to keep up. Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE.
Produced by Pooh Beatz, Go Grizzly, Cheeze Beatz, and Icarus, “Ate” drops TiaCorine into a rattling soundscape of futuristic synths and blasted drums. She stays on top, switching between taunting tones and hard bars as she brags about bleeding men dry with the verve of a folk legend in the making: “I take everything from these n----s and give it to b-----s, I sound like a hero / Bad b---- Robin Hood, I get dollars, yen, euros.”
The “Ate” video, directed by Fred Focus, drives home TiaCorine’s wild charisma and God-given dominance as she strolls into a bar and not only quickly becomes the center of attention, but transforms the night into a chaotic rager. It’s a reminder that the North Carolina artist is careening toward a major breakthrough following releases like last year’s kaleidoscopic “Different Color Stones,” a gift to fans as she works on her next album.
TiaCorine is coming off a powerful 2024 in which she dropped her critically acclaimed Almost There EP, shared the scorching hot “Shamone” music video, teamed with Luh Tyler for “Yung Joc,” and let loose a wild verse alongside A$AP Ferg on Denzel Curry’s summer single “HOT ONE.” Following the EP release, Rolling Stone spoke to TiaCorine for an in-depth interview, and The FADER applauded how Almost There “highlights just how far her chameleonic versatility can stretch.” She also embarked on her first-ever headlining US tour.
It all started with TiaCorine’s debut album, I Can't Wait, led by breakout track “FreakyT,” which inspired a viral dance trend and soared up the Urban Mainstream and Billboard Hip Hop/R&B charts. Her momentum grew across 2023, when she made the XXL Freshman Class and scored “Artist to Watch” nods from Rolling Stone, COMPLEX, Pigeons & Planes, Zane Lowe, Our Generation Music, and more. Cosigns from the likes of Drake, Flo Milli, and the late, great Gangsta Boo followed, as well a direct support slot with Key Glock and festival appearances including Dreamville Festival, Rolling Loud Miami, Day N Vegas, and Rolling Loud NYC.

ABOUT TIACORINE
There's a nostalgic hypnotism in TiaCorine's music and style. TiaCorine's roots lie in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, a bustling, industrious city sat squarely in the middle of the Northern and Southern border of the U.S., making the young rapper's music evocative of multiple coasts and styles while still anchored in a subtle, decidedly Southern foundation. While in college, Tia welcomed her first child and almost hung up the rap crown. "My friend had me come to the studio, and I made a song. And it just came back. It's been over a year since I rapped or did anything, and it just was so easy and natural for me. I forgot I love music." Calling back to her knowledge of piano and flute from her childhood, Tia brought her music theory knowledge to the studio to create the perfect ear worm.
"I made a song called 'Cabbage' with OGSpliff and I just started becoming a legend in Winston, because everybody was like, 'Wow, this is a different sound you have. It's hard,'" Tia says. In the middle of welcoming her first child and finishing her degree, Tia tapped into her passions within fashion, anime, hip-hop, and more to record songs sporadically throughout college. After releasing "Lotto," christened with Sailor Moon sound bites and vicious, cocky bars nestled between a deceptively charming hook, Tia knew she couldn't turn back. The lethal pair of her 34Corine and Pussy EPs put her on the map leading into 2022's I Can't Wait. Toward the tail end of the year, the infectious, instructive "Freaky T" made its way online. From TikTok to the club, TiaCorine became inescapable. Since "Freaky T," the Winston-Salem superhero has embarked on a tour with Key Glock, blessed her hit single with a remix from Latto, made festival appearances, and more, having done all of this before her major label debut. Since signing with Interscope in 2023, TiaCorine intends to give audiences a taste of all the characters inside her. That same year she earned a spot on XXL’s coveted freshman cover. In 2024 Tia dropped her EP Almost There and embarked on a headline tour.
