Baker Boy wrote "Cool as Hell" on his own, words and music, and released it on 25 January 2019 as the opening shot of a debut album that would not arrive until Gela came out in 2021. In his telling the song is about giving in to the music and letting it steer your body, and it plays that way: bright, springy and built for moving.
Gabriel Gasparinatos directed the video, which set out to trace the young artist's road from North East Arnhem Land to the world stage, and a last-minute call put Baker Boy's brother and father in front of the camera, dancing with him. The single went gold in Australia in 2020. At the 2019 ARIAs it was up for Best Video and Best Hip Hop Release, and the 2020 APRA Awards shortlisted it as Most Performed Urban Work.
