Background edit

"Pissy Pamper" is an unreleased song that leaked on April 18, 2019, which was meant for Sli'merre, but was scrapped due to sample clearance issues. It features American rapper Playboi Carti, performing his "baby voice" verse, a voice technique previously used by Carti on American singer Solange's "Almeda". The song went viral on social media, which resulted an unofficial upload of the song, featuring just Carti's verse, to top the Spotify US Viral 50 chart in May 2019.[8][9]
