Chicago rapper and burgeoning book maven Noname is gearing up for a 10th anniversary tour for her debut mixtape Telefone. But first, new music. “Squatter,” her first release of the year and first single since 2025’s “Hundred Acres,” is about finding an uninvited guest in your house who’s stolen your studio equipment, used your bike without asking, and refused to pay rent. DRAM features on the hook. Listen to it below.

“Don’t think just cause I’m a librarian I won’t get in the booth,” Noname wrote in an Instagram post announcing “Squatter.” The song is set to appear on her forthcoming mixtape Cartoon Radio.
