Though she's been in the music game for years, Noname has never released an official video—that is, until now.

On Tuesday, the Chicago rapper dropped the visual for "Blaxploitation" off her debut album Room 25. The video is directed by Alex Lill and features a giant toddler roaming the Chi-Town streets, causing fear among residents. We see news broadcasts with headlines like "Monster Baby Must Be Stopped," as well as a scene in which law enforcement attempts to capture the overgrown toddler. There's some strong Honey, I Blew Up the Kid vibes running throughout, paired with socio-political themes about Chicago's black youth. 

You can check out the "Blaxploitation" video above. 

Noname will kick off her North American Room 25 Tour next month in Detroit. She will make stops in cities like Toronto, NYC, Boston, Atlanta, and Portland before delivering the final show in San Diego. Take a look at the full tour schedule below, and cop tickets here.
