Ghost Da Lyrical returns with Taylor Made Ghost
NY spitmatician Ghost Da Lyrical returns with his first new project for 2026. Taylor Made Ghost is a seven-track audio journal fully powered by ProducerTrentTaylor (who has also laced tracks/albums for Murs, Fashawn, Lando Chill). The resulting work is the highly confessional bars of a family man who has navigated the pitfalls of the block with the scars to show it. Production wise Taylor arms the Ghost with dusty off-kilter soul and hard-snapping soundscapes.
Speaking on the link-up with Taylor, Ghost Da Lyrical revealed “I’ve had a very light line on him, going back to the early 2010’s. Some of these beats have been in a folder on a drive for the better part of a decade. Lightning finally struck one day when I was on my Patio in Crown Heights, Brooklyn smoking and vibing to them. “ As to the lyrical content this time around he also revealed “I rap a lot about my real life, so there’s a lot to unpack as far as that goes. Some of this is growing pains, some are recent events. One song that I’m really feeling offthis effort is ‘Straight Up’ which is mostly inspired by my so-called ‘running the streets’ in my late teens/early 20’s.”

Though emceeing for close to two decades, there has been significant periods of radio silence in Ghost Da Lyrical’s rhyme career. Most recently he dropped his first full-length in many years in 2025, which was I Just Came To Rap, which was fully produced by Retrospec (Dusty Reynolds, Bub Styles). The intro track is an actual news report detailing the emcee being shot while working in a Brooklyn Housing Development.

International emcee Paisanos, Los Chicos Criollos have returned with their newest single. “Gunpowda Nosebumpz” is that rugged-n-raw hip-hop for the Los Chicos Criollos boys (U.S. Rhyme-slinger Kingdom Kome + Toronto, Canada mic-vet Che Uno) to spit their bi-lingual grime over. The track (Produced by RUEN) also boasts additional lyrical napalm courtesy of top shotta, Daniel Son.

Speaking on the track Kingdom Kome said “this is a hardcore joint and I love it! I’ve done several tracks with Daniel Son previously and he’s Che’s people so once we had the title in mind, we knew he would be perfect on the track.”
“Gunpowda Nosebumpz” is the second leak from the forthcoming Los Chicos Criollos LP , Merca Musica to drop on November 10th via Walking With Enoch Music. Though they have two Halloween themed mixtapes together (Brujos 1 + 2 respectively) this will be the first full Los Cricos Criollos album that is fully produced by RUEN.
Previous single “Olmedo Y Porcel” (named forlegendary Argentinian comedy duo Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel) also received the video treatment and was Filmed on location at the El Almacen Café in Toronto, Canada by WIZDOME BUNITALL (for Fuego Films).

With frequent references to their shared Argentinian roots the album title Merca Musica translates roughly to the slang title of dope music. As Kingdom Kome states “we are trafficking this pure uncut and unfiltered product, which is our music, and we feel the whole concept just got elevated with RUEN’s contributions.”
