Killer Mike Adds Damian Marley For Reggae Flip Of “RUN”

by

After taking a break with Run The Jewels and El-P, Killer Mike decided to make a big comeback on his own this year. In fact, it had been an 11-year return in the making. His last solo effort was released on May 15, 2012 with R.A.P. Music. That was until June 16 of this year, when Mike unleashed perhaps his best record to date, with MICHAEL. It has done so well for the Georgia legend that is up for a handful of GRAMMY nominations.

It is easy to see why it could win Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance categories. There are so many fantastic records on this LP. “SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS” is the key player here, but “RUN” with Young Thug is another fun one. The great additional tracks and remixes have also helped bolster the legitimacy around Mike’s self-titled tape.

Skepta Teams Up With 19-Year-Old Producer, Ryder, For “48 Hours” EP

by

Skepta’s career is one of diversity and adaptability. The Tottenham rapper and DJ has experimented a lot over his roughly two-decade-long run in the hip-hop industry. From grime, and trap, to EDM even, the man has many tools in the tool belt. Back in mid-October, the 41-year-old put out a single that saw him bring a new twist to an Amy Winehouse classic, “Tears Dry On Their Own.” The track was retitled as “Can’t Play Myself (A Tribute To Amy).”

That was the most recent addition to Skepta’s new house-focused label, Más Tiempo. The entertainment group is a joint effort with a familiar face from Boy Better Know, Jammer. With all of that going on, he has not been able to put a lot of energy into his solo career. It has been four years since his last effort, Ignorance is Bliss. But, he seems to getting back into it a bit by teaming up with a rising producer, Ryder.

Listen To 48 Hours By Ryder And Skepta

The 19-year-old hails from Kingston upon Hull, which is located in England. According to NME, he got a little TikTok virality after posting a rendition of one of Skepta’s cuts. Ryder went in and redid “Text Me Back” from Konnichiwa. That led to the two talents connecting to come out with a new EP, 48 Hours. There are two new songs, “All Alone” and “For You” with extra vocals from Dré Six. After that are tracks titled “#skeptacore.” There are three parts and one of them sees a twist on “Bullet From A Gun.” The beats provide some extra emotional weight to match the deep-cutting lyrics from Skepta. It is worth a serious listen.

Killer Mike’s 2023 record, MICHAEL, has been a big success. It will surely end up on a lot of critics and listeners’ end-of-the-year lists for best rap albums.

You have tracks like “MAYNARD VIGNETTE,” “SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS,” and plenty others to name.

However, easily the most passionate song on the entire LP, “MOTHERLESS,” just got some amazing updates. Even though the song is already pretty flawless, Robert Glasper worked his magic. For those who do not know, Glasper is a big contributor to some of the best rap albums over the past few years. He has lots of credits on Kendrick Lamar’s jazz rap classic, To Pimp A Butterfly. Now, he just turned “MOTHERLESS” into even more of a tender cut.

Quotable Lyrics:

I asked Betty for her prayers over my generation (Mother)
And I asked Niecy, “Keep me through my trials and tribulations” (Sometimes)
Death’ll come like thief in night and steal your joy away (And sometimes)
Have you askin’, “God, why You forsake your boy, today?” (I said sometimes)
Is this a blessing or a curse, or just some other s***? (Sometimes, I need)
No matter what, I’m numb as f*** ’cause I’m still motherless (You)
