BUSTA RHYMES SERVES UP NEW GODFATHER OF HARLEM SINGLE “MURDA” WITH BILAL
Epic Records and GRAMMY® Award-winning iconic producer, rapper, DJ, entrepreneur, and cultural connoisseur Swizz Beatz unleash the ominous third single from GODFATHER OF HARLEM: Season 3 entitled “Murda” [feat. Busta Rhymes & Murda] via Epic Records.
Busta Rhymes shows out with a rapid-fire lyrical onslaught befitting of his reputation as one of the most uncompromising and undeniable spitters of all time. He channels classic New York hip-hop with elite verbal acrobatics. Meanwhile, Philly vocal powerhouse Bilal pulls up with a soulful counterpoint to Busta’s fireworks.
It lands in the wake of Dave East’s “Damn.” Immediately, REVOLT proclaimed, “On the song, the two New York natives combine their strengths to embody the attitude of the series.” Listen to “Damn” HERE.
The latter arrived on the heels of “Hustle, Repeat” [feat. Swizz Beatz & Jadakiss]. Listen to “Hustle, Repeat” HERE.
Right out of the gate, HipHopDX proclaimed, “The song was released on Friday (January 13) and finds Swizz lacing Kiss with an alarming, heavy-hitting beat over which the LOX lyricist unleashes his ironclad bars about the hustling lifestyle.” In addition to plugs from ThisIs50 and more, HotNewHipHop raved, “The LOX wordsmith’s gritty bars and slick wordplay takes center stage over Swizz Beatz’s production while detailing the criminal underworld. Though Jadakiss isn’t making blatant references to Bumpy Johnson, the resilient attitude mirrors the Harlem Kingpin’s.”
Each Friday, a new track will debut in advance of Sunday’s new episode of GODFATHER OF HARLEM: SEASON 3.
This marks Swizz’s third season as Executive Producer of the Soundtrack. The music from Season 1 & 2 has amassed tens of millions of streams and counting in addition earning acclaim from Entertainment Weekly, HYPEBEAST, XXL, GRAMMY.com, and many more.
Airing on Sundays at 9pm ET on MGM+, GODFATHER OF HARLEM stars and is executive produced by Forest Whitaker and produced by ABC Signature, a part of Disney Television Studios.
