Dios Negasi drops Black Violin 2 ft. Conway, Ghostface & many more!
The Devil’s Violinist returns!West Coast beat-boss / rhyme capo Dios Negasi finally drops the long-awaited LP, Black Violin 2. Out now via streaming courtesy of Chamber Music Ent / Reagan Era Records this edition tops the grit factor and guest roster of the 2023 first edition.
The project is named after legendary composer Niccolo Paginini (1782-1840) who was nicknamed “The Devil’s Violinist” for his supernatural ability on the instrument and adherence to wearing all black. Negasi also has a similar mastery of dark boom-bap sounds, creating some of the roughest tracks of this century.
Reagan Era Records cohort Skrillz Dior makes multiple appearances on the project and Los Angeles homies also appear including Dyverse, Killa Kali, K-Borne and Chamber Music’s Ominous also guest. However, the guest list on this project also taps a litany of mic legends including Ghostface Killah, Young Zee (Da Outsidaz), Conway The Machine, RJ Payne, Blu and Fredro Starr (Onyx).

Speaking on working with legends Negasi said “Ominous was dead set on topping Black Violins 1 plus I think he just likes seeing me under pressure. Of course when you are dealing with artists of this caliber, the end product takes longer to complete but I love this album!”
Additional props must be given to M-s BEATZ THE MAD KID from Colombia who produced “Black Scrolls” ft RJ Payne, Chris Scott who sprinkled keys on “Gods Wallabee Clarks” ft Ghostface Killah and “Only God Can Save You” ft Conway The Machine and finally the UK’s Too Nasty who engineered the album.
(rings in the holidays with a blast! Enlisting Onyx’s Fredro Starr for new single “Bust Back” the Dios produced banger combines two of the grittiest lyricists of the West and East coasts.

“I shoulda stay gone.”Globetrotting emcee Kingdom Kome has dropped visuals for new track “Stay Gone” this morning. Shot by Kevin Ramos and edited by D. Sakolsky (for Gusto Gold Productions) footage was mostly filmed on location in San Juan, Puerto Rico. However, while the background is a tropic beach, the soulful message throughout is one of disgust. Kingdom Kome reveals “it’s mostly inspired by my disgust of the music industry and how soulless and godless it truly is. I’m basically saying that if it wasn’t for my love for our culture and my art that I would have left this game a long time ago.”

“Stay Gone” appears on the newest Kingdom Kome LP Mint Misprints, which was released today on all streaming platforms. The album was fully produced by RUEN and features additional lyrical firepower from Ill Bill, SKAM2?, Daniel Son, D.V. Alias Khryst and Che Uno. Other recent singles leaked from the project include “Shimmy Ye” featuring Ill Bill & SKAM2?, “Bullseye!”, “No LLove” featuring the legendary D.V Alias Khrist and the tribute to Kingdom Kome’s son “Letter To My Seed.” Links to all tracks appear below.

Kingdom Kome released five albums last year and RUEN produced a few of those, including Dirty Linens 2, the second full-length collaboration album between Kingdom Kome and Brockton, MA’s masked menace G Fam Black. RUEN also fully aced the Barrel Reserve LP, a more elegant and hazy work.
