Background and release

edit

On June 17, Flo Milli released the single "Conceited" and announced the title of the album.[5] The album's release date of July 22 was revealed alongside a new track, "No Face", which was produced by Tasha Catour.[6]

On July 19, Flo Milli released the 15 song track list for You Still Here, Ho?, revealing features from Tiffany Pollard, Babyface Ray and Rico Nasty.

Originally planned for release on July 22, 2022, Flo Milli took to twitter to announce the album would release early on July 20, 2022 instead.

On March 24, 2023, she released an extended version of the album, featuring guest appearances from Lola Brooke, Maiya The Don, Gloss Up, and Monaleo.[7]

Music and lyrics

edit

Flo Milli uses the image of Tiffany Pollard in her raps, making listeners feel that "the main character of a reality show made a hip hop album."[1] "Conceited" is a "thudding Southern revamp of Remy Ma’s 2006 classic" with Milli rapping, “Please don't bark cause Milli bite back.”[8]

Critical reception

Pitchfork7.3/10
Rhythmer     

Clarissa Brooks of Pitchfork wrote that You Still Here, Ho? is "her most adventurous form yet."[8] Hwang Duha of Rhythmer commented that "the music itself is not special", but Flo Milli "balances this out with completeness and unique concept."[1] Writing for The Line of Best Fit, John Amen gave the album 7/10 and commented, "You Still Here, Ho? runs the fundamentals of hip-hop – aggression, wit, violent diarism, and primitivistic sounds – through a contemporary filter largely defined by social media and selfie culture."[9]
