Lil Tecca Flips The Buggles Sample into a Smooth Trap Banger
Lil Tecca drops “Owa Owa,” blending a Buggles sample and melodic trap into a summer-ready anthem.
Lil Tecca flips nostalgia into vibe gold on “Owa Owa”
Queens rapper Lil Tecca dropped “Owa Owa” on May 30, 2025, as the second single off his fifth album Dopamine. Produced by Rio Leyva and Taz Taylor, the track samples The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star,” warped into a hypnotic hook that already has fans chanting along. It’s a catchy pivot from his heavier, more introspective work earlier this year.
The sound and vibe
“Owa Owa” drifts on woozy synth pads and laid-back trap drums, Tecca riding with a blend of effortless flow and melodic charm. Lyrically, he balances flexes about wealth and luxury (“New Chrome…on my hip”) with confessional lines hinting at emotional strain.
Visuals and video
There’s an official music video now—it’s low-key and centered on Tecca vibing in front of a graffiti‑tagged “Dopamine” wall, taking his girl to an arcade, even a stroll through open fields.
