We truly are starting 2026 with a BANG! After an absolutely insane year we had previously, I’ve got high expectations that we can continue the momentum and ride out this year with the same energy and momentum!
We already got a new single by Recongize, Ali & D-Styles, now to follow, we have four of the most prominent names in the underground coming together to showcase their abilities! So let’s go!
This is the brand-new single by Producer Stu Bangas with cuts by Tone Spliff and MC work by Born Unique & Benny Watts as this massive collaboration of just over three minutes comes to fruition and we are gifted with an absolute BANGER!
Starting with that beat, we have Stu absolutely destroying that instrumental, bringing his trademark powerhouse instrumentation to light, making the audience’s headphones overheat!
We have a combination of those glistening keys that go off in that delicate loop throughout the song! We have those subtle bass strings that are elegant yet raw as hell!
On top of all that, we have those rhythmic drum patterns that act as the ‘skeleton’ of the track and form all the layers into place!
Of course, we can’t ignore Tone Spliff and his cuts that run through the track, proving his legendary standard of excellence and infectious 90’s homage that he’s spent decades perfecting! An absolute killer chemistry and combination for the beat!
As far as the lyricists go. We start things off with Benny Watts, who brings forth his trademark charisma, sharp wit, and unstoppable verbal slaughter to this dominating track, and he’s never sounded better!
I’m talking bar for bar, beat for beat, he ain’t missed SHIT! He’s hitting on all cylinders, fusing with the rhythm of the instrumental with his dope wordplay and incredible enunciations that’s on par with the best of the best in the game! Couldn’t be more impressed!
On the second verse, we have Born Unique, who is not a man I’m overly familiar with, but he serves as a fantastic closer to this banger track. He brings a cold and ruthless energy to the sound that matches the beat ever so fluently!
He has a savage verse that’s equal parts intricate, cold, smart, and complex! With excellent verbal techniques, smart uses of his bar structures, and intense flow, that has this unique (pun intended) level of grit and animosity that is rare to hear in this day and age!
An incredible combination by the MC’s, an even more stellar performance by Stu and Tone, as this could easily be the hottest single of the year! Check it out below!
