Queens, NY producer IceRocks recently dropped a full-length project Crossing The Rubicon—an 8 track hip-hop project that sees him working with different emcees. Names like Rome Streetz, Heem, El Camino pop up but it is the stand-out street jam "Red Presidents" that gets the visual treatment this time around. The track sees IceRocks crafting a dark and gritty backdrop made up of gripping guitar riffs, cinematic strings, and crunchy drum breaks for Benny The Butcher and Meyhem Lauren's evocative lyrics. Benny is as sharp as ever and drops a handful of street gems that might save a life or two while Lauren implores listeners to be the plug and go for their goals
Bee Graphics crafts an animated video that makes great use of the moody theme and lyrics to create an eye-catching visual. From the hand-drawn animation, recurring rouge motifs, and retro static fx, viewers are given a vivid representation of the powerful lyricism behind the track. Get "Red Presidents" on all DSPs here
