Portland-born rapper Aminé has been simmering with underground releases, but he appears ready to break into the mainstream with his viral hit ”Caroline.”

He described the song to Genius saying:

I wrote this song with the intentions of hopefully making a modern day “Billie Jean.” Caroline represents the handful of women I’ve met in my life that I would put genuine effort in.

Aminé made the beat along with another Portland producer, Pasqué. Aminé also directed the video, which includes clever visual references to the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who’s namechecked in the lyrics.
