About This Track
Takeoff's 'Casper' appears on his 2018 debut solo album 'The Last Rocket', produced by 808 Mafia's Nonstop Da Hitman and Cassius Jay. The track takes its title from the Friendly Ghost but repurposes the reference for automotive flex: Takeoff raps about ghost-riding a Rolls-Royce Wraith, the luxury coupe whose name and silhouette lend themselves to spectral boasting. The chorus loops the image, pairing it with stargazing and the prospect of acquiring a Rolls-Royce Dawn. The verses anchor the bravado in family memory and Atlanta origins. Takeoff credits his late grandmother Jenna for paving the way, insists fame hasn't changed him, and claims Bay Area ghost-riding technique whilst police clock his licence plate and jewellery. The production stays spare, leaving room for his unhurried cadence and the song's central conceit: wealth as a kind of haunting, visible and untouchable at once.
"Casper" is a track by Takeoff, from the album The Last Rocket, released 2nd November 2018. Full lyrics are available below.
