Kingdom Kome x RUEN drop “Bullseye” single / video
Kingdom Kome hits the sure shot with “Bullseye!” The new single from the Hip-Hop globe-trotter (Produced by his constant cohort RUEN) is armed with burbling dark synths and thick analog bass tones sounding like John Carpenter scored it in the pre-digital age. Speaking on the track Kingdom Kome said “I called it “Bullseye” because it’s a no hype straight raw and rugged joint. No frills just lyricism and a world class RUEN production.”
With a stunning visual accompaniment, the video for the single was filmed in Puerto Rico (a constant stop-over for the emcee on his travels) including aerial shots.

“Bullseye” is the 2nd leak from the forthcoming Kingdom Kome x RUEN album Mint Misprints (Walking With Enoch Music). The prior single “No LLove” featuring the legendary D.V Alias Khrist.

Speaking on the forthcoming album Kingdom Kome stated “I feel like this is our best work together. The concept of the album is the beauty in the errors and flaws in art as well as in one’s life. Sometimes the more flawed the art is, the more it’s value appreciates.”
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.

Hieroglyphics drop new LP & video
All Said And Done, the latest chapter of Hieroglyphics is here! The third official full-length album from the Oakland, California super-crew is now available via streaming, vinyl and CD editions (links below) with hand-drawn album cover courtesy of Shomari Smith. A legendary amalgamation of hip-hop entities, Hieroglyphics is composed of Casual, Souls Of Mischief (a quartet composed of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto and Tajai), Del The Funky Homosapien, Domino, DJ Toure and Pep Love.
Recorded over a nine-month period in 2025, All Said And Done (the first official Hieroglyphics release since 2013 mixtape The Kitchen) is a fully self-produced affair (with tracks handled by A-Plus, Domino, DJ Toure with the only additional assistance from multi-instrumentalist Jim Greer and cuts on one track by DJ D-Styles of The Beat Junkies). Speaking on the album title, Casual stated that “it refers to this album being the skill level that we would like to be remembered for.” He also says that the album track “Uplifted” is a personal highlight that will “last to tell the story of HIero if no other song does.”
An official video for the track “The Way That It Be” featuring performances from Casual, Pep Love and Tajai was just released (link below).
