The Kid LAROI has dropped a new single ahead of his Australian tour.

“APEROL SPRITZ,” out today, has been teased by the Sydney-born hip-hop star over the past couple of months, with teasing snippets dropped consistently on TikTok.

The accompanying music video features dozens of ladies surrounded LAROI as they chase him in slow-motion. The clip culminates on a shot straight out of a ’90s fashion spread – see for yourself below.

“APEROL SPRITZ” arrives between LAROI’s NRL Grand Final headline performance, which took place last weekend, and his forthcoming Australian tour, which will see him perform around the country in November.

Joining LAROI on tour are Migos frontman Quavo and Sydney’s own ONEFOUR, except for the Gold Coast and Hobart shows. This tour is a step up from LAROI’s first headlining Australian tour back in 2022.

The rapper is touring in support of his debut album, THE FIRST TIME, which debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album Chart. The record features major collaborations with BTS’ Jung Kook, Central Cee, Youngboy Never Broke Again, d4vd, and more.

LAROI has been dropped single after single in 2024 so far: “APEROL SPRITZ” follows “GIRLS,” which was hailed as a Song of the Summer contender, “Heaven,” a “BABY I’M BACK” remix with Gunna, and “STILL YOURS,” the latter of which featured on his Prime Video documentary, Kids Are Growing Up: A Story About a Kid Named Laroi.

LAROI is the music keynote at this year’s SXSW Sydney.

On Saturday, October 19th at Darling Harbour Theatre, he’ll discuss his journey from Redfern to global fame. He’ll also collaborate with SXSW Sydney on workshops and performances for the First Nations community in Waterloo and Redfern.

The Kid LAROI’s “APEROL SPRITZ” is out now.
