Overview
- The song "Mula The Root of All Evil" was released on June 5 and was produced by VRTN after North West and Lil Novi connected on TikTok and recorded their parts in separate studios.
- The music video features frenetic edits, blue hair, grills and spiky gauntlets for North and has driven viral reaction that skews negative with many users calling the track "noise" or "trash."
- Musically the single leans on aggressive, industrial‑tinged rage rap and borrows sounds tied to the post‑Playboi Carti/Whole Lotta Red style while centering braggadocio about money.
- Both artists are celebrity children — North is 12 and the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and Novi is 16 and the son of Lil Wayne and Nivea — and the release follows North’s May EP and a late‑spring Rolling Loud appearance.
- The episode highlights how TikTok and remote production speed collaborations and public judgment, and it has reopened conversations about nepotism and the rights and risks of minors building public music careers with no major industry penalties or parental statements reported so far.
