Prolific emcee / Lo-Life Kingdom Kome has dropped a new single with accompanying video this morning.  “Crush Grapes” is the first single from the second collaborative LP with Producer/DJ RUEN entitled Malbec 2 (to drop on 7/19/24).

Sultry, tropical but still sportin’ thick bass and drums, the track is a perfect backing for Kingdom Kome to drop braggadocios bars on some boss shit.  The video perfectly compliments the sonic sentiments with the emcee straight stuntin’ in his hometown of Miami, FL.

Speaking on the genesis of the track, the emcee said “Crush Grapes was actually the last record we did for the album.  The album was already turned in and mastered. Me and RUEN were in the lab producing some records and as soon as I heard the infectious horns I instantly knew I had to call an audible and add this to the album!”

In regard to working with RUEN he added the following “I feel like I have different chambers and vibes I tap into depending on what producer or artist I’m working with at that specific time.  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 our prime and both in our prime and it’s my most well rounded project to date!”

This is the first in a series of singles and video which will drop prior to the LP’s release date.
