Earlier on in the year, Timaya dropped his solid EP, Chulo Vibes, which included the jazzy single, "Stoopid". Months later, the dancehall star has decided to follow up the track with a sequel of sorts, titled "2 Stoopid", and it's even whackier than the first one.  Timaya begins the up-beat jam by mocking people that "yarn anyhow" and "form anyhow", calling them out for being stupid. Later on in the song, he changes his definition of "stoopid", going back to the meaning he conveyed on the original track: stupid lit.  The lively TG Omori-directed music video for "2 Stoopid" predominantly focuses on the dancers who take over the streets.
