Two of the Bronx’s finest head out West in the cinematic new visuals for “Homicide Fetish,” a bullying banger from Colorado-based rapper Saint Joe and his guests, Chris Rivers and Chino XL.

With Collective Cultures’ Jeremy Pape behind the lens, he plays host to an old-school cypher filled with wicked wordplay and blistering rhymes from all three vocalists. Shot in the streets of NYC to the mountains of Colorado, it’s worth noting that the homicide they’re committing here is clearly that of murdering mics, as the trifecta of emcees tear apart the monstrous instrumental from Norway’s, GVME OVER.

“Homicide Fetish” stems from Saint Joe’s upcoming new album, Thinning Out the Heard, which is due out August 5th, through Joe’s own imprint, K.R.A.K. Productions, LLC. The LP will and will be available through all major digital retailers. In addition to Rivers and XL, The LP boasts a number of notable guest features from the likes of Dirtbag Dan, Reef the Lost Cauze, Cortez, Freck Billionaire, Spoke In Wordz, Morning Star, and more. Producers tapped include Charlie Brown, Dialectic, Jomeezius the Genius, Vic Jones, and Yon-P Beats among others.

“Homicide Fetish” can now be purchased off the iTunes pre-order for Thinning Out the Heard, as the project’s debut instant grat track. Stay tuned for more song leaks and visuals!

In a period of turbulent times, mass shootings, racial tension, and political change, E. Smitty & Chino XL hit this one right on the head. Backed by dark, melodic production from Super producer E. Smitty, Chino XL delivers a deep message, expressing his struggle & frustration with the state of being of the world & humanity.

“Unmercifully, introduce you to death personally, lock you in a cell, in the ocean & then submerge the key” – Chino paints the vivid image of suffocation & with each line leaves your grasping for breathe. This track serves as the first single off of E. Smitty’s upcoming album ,Hip Hop Time Capsule; a project that Smitty created to help bridge the gap between both old & new generations of Hip-Hop.

The project features an all star cast of Hip-Hop legends and young generation newcomers, with the purpose to build unity between the youth and the veterans, proving our genre has no age, shape, nor color. Expect a diverse melting pot of production & sounds that both the venerable and the contemporary can relate to.

Chino XL’s new album, RICANstruction: The Black Rosary, dropped last week. Although the album flew under a lot of people’s radars, it’s a solid barrage of lyricism from the Jersey spitter. However, the album kicks off with a heart-wrenching tale of Chino‘s recent hardships.

“Father’s Day” details Chino‘s newborn baby being diagnosed with cancer and the family coping with the battle. It’s worth a listen for all fans of great storytelling.
