"Who TF Is U" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by American rapper Nettspend, released on March 6, 2026, from his debut studio album Early Life Crisis, it was produced by CXO. A music video for the track was released three days later on March 9, 2026.[1]
Composition
"Who Tf Is U" runs for a record time of two minutes and one second. The track was written by Nettspend and CXO, who did the mastering, and mixing.[2]
Davy Reed of The Face wrote how Nettspend's rap flows sprayed across the beat reminds Reed of Jackson Pollock, he also wrote how the track sees Nettspend rap about zodiac love and catfishing paired with "hostile yelps" over "brutal bass bombs and panic alarm synths."[3]
Vivian Medithi of The Fader writes how the track is the "album's centerpiece", writing how Nettspend brags about how he “don’t eat no catfish” and his “baby mama batshit.” The latter phrase sticks out even among Nett’s constant use of “slime” and other trap music signifiers.[4] The track also flips the cadence of Drake off of his track “Hotline Bling”.[5] Hattie Lindert of Pitchfork was negatively critical on the track, writing how Nettspend pushes things too far with shocking or extreme lyrics, making the song uncomfortable or difficult for some listeners to enjoy.[6]
Jef Ihaza of Rolling Stone wrote how Nettspend can "wrangle a compelling cadence out of the sonic chaos", while the raging distorted 808s serve as a cushion for Nettspend's vocals to land on.[7] A reviewer for New Wave Magazine wrote how the track sees Nettspend exude "restless energy", as the track sees him "thrive on confrontation."[8]
