Known for her dizzying flows and rage-coded theatrics, Santana hopes to be a sparkplug for Epic with her upcoming project, Black Punk. She joins a star-studded rap roster that includes Future, Travis Scott, and 21 Savage, bringing her experimental sound and distinct aesthetic to the label.
“Molly Santana is a singular talent with a sound and point of view that are unmistakably her own,” Ezekiel Lewis, chairman/CEO of Epic Records, said in a statement. “Black Punk is a bold statement from an artist who knows exactly who she is, and we’re excited to welcome her to the Epic Records family.”
“Black Punk Music marks a new chapter in my career, one devoted to pushing the boundaries of creativity in music and beyond,” Santana tells Billboard exclusively. “Ezekiel Lewis and the team at Epic have given me and my new label the perfect home. A place filled with passion, inspiration, and complete determination to push the future of music forward.”
To kick off her new era with Epic, Santana will release her new single, “A Girl Is a Gun,” on Friday (Nov. 6). Her previous project, Molly & Her Week of Wonders, arrived in 2025 and featured standout tracks “Not Regular” and “BRB.”
