We said back in 2014 that Tkay Maidza had the potential to really blow up, and the Australian artist has been doing her best to climb her way up by collaborating with some big names. Last year, she dropped the Bauuer-produced "Ghost," and now she's back with "Carry On," a massive pop track that draws influence from the likes of M.I.A. and AlunaGeorge and features a verse from Killer Mike.

“The song is about people trying to stop my stride, but I guess what I'm trying to say is I have bigger issues that only matter to me as a youngin' at this point in my career and Killer Mike is reinforcing that," Maidza said about the track. "It was really cool that Mike listened to what I was saying in my verse as his verse is a conversation to mine... to him I must sound like I need guidance, and what he said was really reassuring and relevant for me."

"Carry On" is the first single from Maidza's upcoming debut album Tkay, which drops on October 28 via Dew Process & UMA. Listen to the song below.
