Excelling by making real friends rather than rap friends, 22 year old rapper Key Nyata doesn’t care about climbing the social ladders of Hip-Hop. After being featured in XXL‘s The Break at 18 years old, former Raider Klan member and child prodigy Key Nyata has traveled a long road, seeing the the ups and downs of the rap game yet he’s still persevering to this day.

Now Key Nyata says this will be his last project, aptly titled It’s A Long Game. The final effort will feature guest verses from Denzel Curry, Slim Guerilla and worldly production from a Snubnose, PHX, Genshin, DJQJ, Othasyde, and Key himself. “I wanted to take it back to the roots,” Key Nyata explained. “Back to the era where I per say made all my fans, to the era where I was truly immersed in my music, like back when I was with the Raider Klan. I had to go back and get a couple of the homies from that time period; Denzel Curry, my boy Slim Guerilla and some production from several close homies.

Previously mentored by Vince Staples, Raider Klan ringleader SpaceGhostPurr p and Seattle mainstay Nacho Piccasso, Key Nyata has spent roughly ten years in the rap game perfecting his craft and getting advice from mentors.

“This is my final project going as Key Nyata. I don’t want to say too much about the future just yet, but if you know me, you know what’s going on,” Key Nyata explained. “To the world I will cease to exist if not for just a little bit of time. Anyone that listens to my music will know what I’m doing right now.”

Even though This track is a few weeks overdue,but fresh beats and hot rhymes have no expiration date in Hip Hop’s kitchen. Last month Key Nyata, the only RVIDXR KLVN emcee from someplace other than South Florida, released the visuals for his official smoker’s anthem “Thx Gvrdxxn”. The track follows through with Key Nyata’s signature RVIDXR style, but also shows a lot of growth with “a few new sounds & textures thrown into his production and even a noticeable difference in his voice.” The video by itself makes you feel like you can smell the kush and incense through your macbook screen, and boasts some of Nyata’s most solid production to date. Peep some lyrics and check out the clip after the jump.

Cloud 9 ain’t for me, I be higher than that
Everything I fucking roll be the size of a bat
Size of a rat, how I break down that
Smell stronger than Axe, take a hit and relax
An hour later relapse, an hour later collapse
Into a long kush nap, what do you know ’bout that
Blowing smoke out the Cadillac, my prescription for Cataracts
Well I told the coppers that, so they put they choppers back
No time for no holla’ back, cause I keep it rolling Jack
No flat on my fucking snap, I’m smoking till Jesus back
