New York rapper, [Mykki Blanco](https://thump.vice.com/en_us/topic/mykki-blanco), has finally announced his debut album after releasing music to widespread acclaim for almost half a decade. Titled _Mykki_, the record was co-produced by [Woodkid](https://thump.vice.com/en_us/topic/woodkid) and [Jeremiah Meece](https://soundcloud.com/jeremiahmeece) (formerly of The-Drum) and will arrive on September 16 via his own label [Dogfood Music Group](https://thump.vice.com/en_us/topic/dogfood-music-group) and !K7. Michael David Quattlebaum Jr., Blanco's given name, has also shared the record's introspective, love-questioning second single "The Plug Won't", following the Romeo and Juliet-retelling video for ["High School Never Ends."](https://thump.vice.com/en_us/video/mykki-blanco-high-school-never-ends-video)

In a quote accompanying the track's YouTube upload, the artist said: "The new album track 'The Plug Won't' asks itself, why do I need love? Why do we need love? Who fucking needs love? As the protagonist comes to understand that 'love' found in the haze of sex and drugs, ruled by club culture, may never lead to the real thing."

LYRICS:  The Plug Won't

Reflecting on the situation since your acting agitated, I just want a break from all the petty mental masturbation. God set me straight, please show me right, lets bridge this gap, lets please not fight. 

You feel so numb, drugs got you gone. Don't fuck my feelings yes I'm really coming home. Off limit topics pull the cover off i'm blown, love lock link handcuff me to bone to bone.

Cast away in my thoughts, daydreaming scheming getting top from a thot. Niggas try to roast me but they soft applesauce coming at me with them claws and you don't know whats real because you only fuck with frauds.

I'm the truth and I'm a savage fuck the world and fuck the baggage at the plaza when we lavish the Ramada when we average, the world don't get us I relinquish my trust, I'm insane for you baby yeah you got me fucked up.

CHORUS: Cuz The Plug Don't Love me Like You, The Drugs Don't Love Me like You

The Club Don't Love me Like, Life don't treat me right I'm so Mystified, Why do I need Love?

Why do we need love? Who fuckin needs love, I'm so Mystified.. Life Don't treat me right.....

I know be looking nappy, yeah I'm scrappy but we happy, you possess a lovely fatty I'mma take it vigilante. Assuming we soul mates  consuming them green grapes, honeymooning yeah we cruising down to Cuba with the safe.  

One minute we so in it, next minute you so offended can't believe I just defended all the bullshit you were spinning. I hold you special, fuck is the issue, I don't see your best friend on the text agreeing with you? I don't see that side of you your always trying to claim , talking bout you understand, talking at me like a lame

"And weed don't make me feel like this, and lean Don't Make me Feel Like This, And weed don't make me feel like this and lean don't make me feel like this"

I'm outta bounds with you, hate this battleground with you I don't want the run around just wanna wear a crown with you, fuck the thunderclouds yea I'm loud and proud with you, your different, I believe it, I need you to see it.

The new album track "The Plug Won't" asks itself, why do I need love?  Why do we need love? Who fucking needs love? As the protagonist comes to understand that “love” found in the haze of sex and drugs, ruled by club culture, may never lead to the real thing. 

"The Plug Won't" follows the advance release of album track "High School Never Ends," written with Woodkid, which premiered with a major music video on FADER in May.
