Kingdom Kome & RUEN drop new single/video ft. Planet Asia “Zip ‘Em Up”
Lyrically murderous Miami raised emcee Kingdom Kome enlists West Coast legend Planet Asia to “Zip ‘Em Up.” With a begrimed piano instrumental (Provided by RUEN) behind them, the duo commits verbal homicide over the beat. The track was also released with an animated video (by Dynasty Studio out of Medellin, Colombia) that further reinforces that vibe to great effect.

In regard to working with RUEN the emcee said “Since RUEN is my DJ and longest working producer, I feel like we have developed a very signature sound together. He has an amazing ear and can go from some really grimey boom bap records to trap to R&B, dancehall and club records effortlessly, regardless of the record his signature drums always are hard hitting and I feel like with Malbec 2 we are both in our prime and it’s my most well rounded project to date!”
