Purple Lamborghini

Purple Lamborghini

Skrillex & Rick Ross

Rick Ross and Skrillex’s “Purple Lamborghini” is the latest to appear from the Suicide Squad soundtrack. Zane Lowe premiered the track July 21 on his Beats 1 radio show.

The title and the hook refers to the Joker’s car in Suicide Squad. The music video will star Jared Leto, who plays the Joker in the film.

However, the Joker’s car isn’t actually a Lamborghini, but a Vaydor G35. The switch is a deliberate callback to the song “Mercy” for G.O.O.D. Music’s compilation album, Cruel Summer. The hook in that song frequently refers to “Lamborghini Mercy.” Its reversal here in this song’s hook, pointedly revoking that mercy, is fitting for a song and a film about anti-heroes.
