"Brontosaurus" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Tkay Maidza featuring producer Bad Cop,[1] released in December 2013 as Maidza's debut single. The song peaked at number 89 on the ARIA Charts.

Reception

Beat Magazine said "Tkay's verses hitting premature dead ends to only give way to an excruciatingly choppy chorus hook. Producer Bad Cop tries to cram countless buildups, using a garish blend of dancehall and dubstep, none of which result in a satisfying drop."[1] OutInPerth called it "an infectious underground rap hit."[2]

In 2020, Red Bull retrospectively reviewed the song saying "The track introduced then 17-year-old Tkay as a formidable talent. It also typified the sound of her early years -- a blend of hip-hop and fun, energetic electronic music. Her sound has evolved a lot since then, but 'Brontosaurus' remains a banger.[3]
