Naeem, the artist formerly known as Spank Rock, has revived his own alter ego for a new song, “Bankroll Peelers.” The track, credited to Naeem featuring Spank Rock, also has contributions from producers Sam Greens, Noah Beresin, and Matti Free, as well as Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, who sings backing vocals in the chorus. Check it out below.

Naeem said in press materials, “Spank Rock is the Goat! Actually, he’s not the goat; he’s a Coyote, Monkey, Loki, or Eshu. Instead of feeling at odds creatively with my past and where I want to go, I invited my younger self back into the room. Spank Rock’s ephemeral energy rearranged the order of things. Personally, I feel like I’m more risk-adverse than Spank Rock is. It’s fun to work with someone who doesn’t care how people perceive him. I would love for music to be surprising again.”

A release party for the single, at Los Angeles’ Silverlake Lounge this Thursday, August 14, will feature a Naeem performance as Spank Rock and a DJ set, plus sets from Noah Beresin, Gloworm, Glassface, and Mucky. Naeem released his sole post–Spank Rock album to date, Startisha, back in 2020.
