Man, what a collaboration! Both of these men have had a profound year in 2025, both in their own lane, but if this is a sign of a record coming, this could be the best release by both men so far! Let’s talk about it!
This is the brand-new single by MC powerhouse CRIMEAPPLE and legendary producer VDON, and together they dropped exactly two minutes of straight raw sonic footage that is sure to cancel out 90% of the content out there right now!
Starting with the production, VDON is channeling his eclectic boom bap influences with his no-nonsense, gritty, and muddy instrumental that is sure to leave you mean-mugging the world for at least the next 24 hours! It’s ridiculous.
You’ve got those intricate, rapid-pace piano keys that are right in the forefront of the beat. Accompanying that, we have these hypnotic drum patterns and a thick bass line so heavy you’ll find it impossible to stay in your seat listening to this one!
This is the kind of beat you listen to when you want to go out and commit crimes! The type of song that will give you a wave of adrenaline and confidence that no other drug could give you! It’s ruthless, relentless, and above all, memorable!
Alongside VDON, we have CRIME. The man who has turned himself into a household name in the space of a matter of years, and it’s got shit to do with luck but because of his unique and individual style that no one else can touch!
On this track, he showcases his infinite charisma and flawless rhythm that makes his flow and wordplay seem absolutely effortless.
He’s sharp with street vocabulary so intricate you’ll think you’re listening to poetry while he’s spitting some of the toughest bars you’ve ever heard!
Across the two-minute span, he doesn’t miss a single beat. Every breath lands exactly where it’s supposed to, and he does so in the most efficient and consistent way possible! It almost sounds like
all his thoughts just rhyme instinctively, and he’s not even thinking of bars instead just thinking out loud!
An absolute phenomenal pairing between two of the greatest in the industry right now, and if this is a taste for a VDON-produced CRIME album, then that will be early Christmas!
