Acclaimed Melbourne emcee Illy has returned with a new single under his sleeve and according to the rhyme-slinger himself, it’s meant to serve as a message to anyone in your life who needs to be told to “fuck off”.

Aptly titled ‘Swear Jar’, the new single sees Illy rapping against a soulful backbeat, spitting venomous punchlines like “Some artists on that high horse like they just put Thriller out / Some artists care about music less than Instagram accounts“.

Taking to social media to share the track with his devoted fan base, the ARIA Award winner wrote, “Feel free to share it with those special people in your life who need to be told to fuck off from time to time.”

Readers can check out Illy’s latest joint below, but make sure you don’t hit play while you’re at work. As you can imagine, there’s quite a few F-bombs laced throughout the track.
