Grime-Boss The Messiah Of Madness returns with a new video / new single! “Crown Royal Bag” is some next-level horrorcore with no lyrical filter from the heartless and homicidal artist. Most concerningly is that the artist claims some of these situations are true stories. The animated video also reaffirms this is nobody you want to cross paths with as he disassembles opps while on a mission. “Crown Royal Bag” was produced by “Steeltown” (aka Pittsburgh, PA) legend Big Jerm, who has also laced tracks for Mac Miller, Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg.

The track is taken from the recently released EP You Already Know (out now Dominion Hill Records). Besides “Crown Royal Bag” the rest of the EP is self-produced by The Messiah Of Madness producer alter-ego Tone Fultz. In this guise he is equally adept at creating the type of raucous instrumentals that made Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep touchstones of the 1990’s.

This is the first new Messiah Of Madness since last year’s Monstrosity LP (Global Sounds/MNRK) but prior to that was a twelve year break between 2011’s The Ordeal LP and Monstrosity. This was mostly due to Tone Fultz keeping busy on the production side. Some of his recent work includes “Get On Your Knees” the new single from Wu-Tang / Theodore Unit affiliate Solomon Childs.
