“Burn the Hoods” is a hectic single from Ski Mask the Slump God with commentary on police brutality and the current state of race relations in the United States. The track’s title and accompanying visual both feature heavy imagery of the Ku Klux Klan, a historic fanatic and white supremacist group in America.

The song was first previewed by Ski in late October 2019. TisaKorean previewed his verse in an Instagram video in January 2020, but he was eventually cut from the final version of the song.

Ski then began teasing the track during June 2020, posting multiple shots of an unseen music video made in collaboration with head of Lyrical Lemonade, Cole Bennett. On July 17, 2020, Ski posted the song’s cover art on his Instagram story, revealing the song’s title and artwork.

The music video was released a week later on July 24, 2020, and included the introduction to an unreleased track after “Burn the Hoods” played. That same night, Ski said that the song would be “coming soon” and would appear on his album on his Twitch stream.
