Press Play: TiaCorine and J.I.D. Release New Single "Backyard"

Genre-bending North Carolina rapper TiaCorine roars back with “Backyard,” a powerhouse collaboration with Atlanta’s J.I.D and Diamond-certified GRAMMY-winning producer Hit-Boy.

Built on a dramatic loop of heavy bass and stuttering drums, the single finds both artists at their most commanding—TiaCorine delivers explosive, quotable lines while J.I.D fires off razor-sharp bars, matching her ferocity beat for beat. Directed by Hidji, the colorful video sets their high-octane energy against a surreal suburban sting operation that spirals into chaos, offering fans a visual as audacious as the track itself.

“Backyard” arrives as the latest preview of TiaCorine’s anticipated second album CORINIAN, out October 10, following a string of standout releases like “Fall in Love,” “Ironic,” and “ATE.” It caps a whirlwind run that’s seen her headline festivals, collaborate with some of hip-hop’s biggest names, and continue expanding her sonic universe. With its bold production, clever writing, and cinematic visuals, “Backyard” reinforces TiaCorine’s reputation as one of the South’s most inventive artists — and raises anticipation for what’s next when CORINIAN drops this fall.
