9th January 2025 – Born and raised in Zimbabwe but now residing in the UK, conscious emcee Rhyme Assassin is on a mission to bring back real Hip-Hop in his latest irresistible single, “Run Em Up” featuring heavy-weights M.O.P and Ruste Juxx. Reiterating his skill, Rhyme Assassin recently won the ‘The Best Diaspora’ award at the 2024 Zimbabwe Hip-Hop Awards. Gearing up for another exciting year ahead, the “Run Em Up” visuals mark the revision of Hip-Hop as we know and love.
Laced with nostalgia, “Run Em Up” produced by The Arcitype [Vinnie Paz, Slaine] is a Boom Bap Hip-Hop track that’s harnessed with a head-bopping production and ferocious flows. Enriched with raw and gritty penmanship, each emcee takes their turn to showcase a slew of punchlines and metaphors that will leave you wanting more. Exuding with authenticity the paired music video correlates seamlessly with the euphoric feeling.
Speaking on the release Rhyme Assassin explained, “Approximately 2 years ago I purchased a few beats from The Arcitype. When I heard the beat, I used it for ‘Run Em Up’. All I could hear on it was M.O.P crushing the instrumental so when I considered a feature it had to be M.O.P, I then reached out to Billat Danze manager who set it up. It took me some time to get the feature in place but super excited it worked out. Ruste Juxx was also an automatic pack because of his raw delivery and top tier lyricism.”
