Molly Santana completely delivers with her new studio album
It’s all types of repeat-worthy feels coming from Santana. Molly shows out on her star-studded project and it slaps from start to finish.
Los Angeles-based rapper and boundary-pushing newcomer Molly Santana releases her highly anticipated sophomore album, Molly and Her Week of Wonders. The announcement follows her 2024 project Masonic Musik, which showcased her range—merging rapid-fire EDM beats and dizzying hooks with her signature fusion of trap, pop rap, and rage-infused sonics. Molly’s sound is a fearless blend of raw underground rap and experimental production, anchored by a bold visual identity that constantly pushes boundaries.
Spanning 17 tracks, the album features a diverse group of songs that stay true to her core sound while exploring more dreamlike, surreal textures, mirroring the coming-of-age themes and eerie tone of the 1970 Czech film, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, which inspired the album. MAHWOW also features collaborations with Che, Showjoe, and Hardrock.
Inspired by the cult film, the album dives into themes of surrealism, self-discovery, and the unspoken pressures of girlhood today, unfolding as a dreamlike coming-of-age story drawn from Molly’s own experiences navigating the industry. Leading up to tonight’s release, she teased the project with eerie, atmospheric trailers shared across social media. See HERE.

Born to a Black father and Japanese mother, Santana was raised between California and Japan, where she attended fashion school before fully committing to music. Pulling from her cross-cultural background, she’s known for blending punk, rage, trap, and alt-pop with a high-energy, hyper-feminine touch.
In recent years, Santana has built a reputation as a standout in the underground rap scene, growing dedicated followings on both TikTok and SoundCloud. She’s also racked up millions of Spotify streams for tracks like “Windows Up,” “Chain Swangin,” and “Not Regular.” Over the past year, she’s opened for Ski Mask the Slump God and Don Toliver on their respective tours, made her Rolling Loud debut in Miami, and has been highlighted as one of Pigeons and Planes “Artist to Watch in 2025.” Last fall, she hit the studio with Lil Uzi Vert—a full-circle moment for the rising artist, who once translated the lyrics of "Luv Is Rage 2" into Japanese for her mother.
With Molly and Her Week of Wonders, Santana is gearing up to deliver her most ambitious statement yet—cinematic, genre-defying, and setting the stage for more to come.
