Rappy Dooski hit Instagram this week with a clip pulled from Lipstick Killer’s latest music video and a caption, “1st interview of 2026 coming up. @iamlipstickkiller stay tuned!”. The post confirmed that Lipstick Killer is set to appear on PDX Radio (Pretty Dope Xperience), the Portland-based independent online station known for spotlighting emerging hip-hop and R&B voices through curated airplay and artist interviews.
PDX Radio, established in 2019, has built its identity around championing independent talent without pay-to-play barriers, offering in-depth interviews designed to explore an artist’s creative process and personal journey. For Lipstick Killer, whose music thrives on confrontation and confession, the platform feels like a natural fit.
And it lands right on cue. Lipstick Killer’s new EP, Cigarettes & Heartbreak Vol. 1, dropped January 23, delivering five tracks that trace the emotional fallout of a five-year relationship that ended not in marriage, but in betrayal. While the project moves through suspicion, devastation, and survival, it’s “Have A Nice Day” that’s become its most defiant statement.
Shot in Pittsburgh with Zaydamane, the “Have A Nice Day” video matches the track’s volatile energy. And make no mistake, this is not a ballad of sorrow. As described in the project notes, “Have a Nice Day” is “not your typical breakup song—it’s the ultimate no contact, kiss-my-ass anthem.” The song captures the moment of clarity when heartbreak transforms into anger and empowerment. The message is direct: “You fooled me once, but you’ll never get the chance again. I’m done. I’m good. Go enjoy your life. Have a nice day.”
That line reframes the EP’s narrative arc. Where earlier tracks like “Delaware Ave” document the discovery of infidelity and “Darkness” wrestles with obsession and emotional wreckage, “Have A Nice Day” flips the script. It’s the turning point, the snap-out-of-it moment when grief gives way to self-possession.
Lipstick Killer, originally from Pittsburgh, has always blurred genre lines, fusing punk ferocity with hip-hop grit. But on Cigarettes & Heartbreak Vol. 1, the stakes feel personal.
Now, with a PDX Radio interview on deck and the “Have A Nice Day” video gaining traction, Lipstick Killer is reclaiming the narrative.
