Li63rty (Brooklyn, NY) Drops Haunting New Single “Hooked” – Out Now (July 25, 2025)
Brooklyn-based hip hop artist Li63rty unleashes her most emotionally charged single yet with “Hooked,” officially released on July 25, 2025 under her independent imprint The Finest. The track arrives hot on the heels of her previous singles “Make It Home” (June 13) and “Forward” (July 4), building momentum as she heads toward her highly anticipated debut album Divine Times, set for release on December 26, 2025.
About “Hooked”
“Hooked” delivers a cinematic, emotionally raw narrative inspired by the untold stories of women navigating pain beneath the neon haze of city nights. Li63rty pours vivid, street-level storytelling into the track, backed by production that blends nostalgic 90s hip-hop drums with soulful, contemporary textures. The result is an atmospheric soundscape that’s both melancholic and hypnotic.
Through confessional verses and a haunting, echoing hook, Li63rty explores themes of addiction, emotional numbing, and the façade of nightlife escapism. The track paints a stark picture of women masking pain through parties, pills, and late-night highs, while longing for something deeper.
How It Fits in the Rollout
-
“Make It Home” (June 13, 2025): A heartfelt opener that pays tribute to resilience and survival while navigating loss.
