Indie legend Shabaam Sahdeeq teams up with John Jigg$ to rule the underground masses in the new video “Tyrant.” The single, produced by DJ Goblin, is taken from the duo’s forthcoming collaborative album ‘Don’t Feed the Bears.’ “Tyrant” is a barbaric attack that mauls and ravages at any competition. To be on this duo’s level, your bars must be up to par to spar. The chemistry between Shabaam Sahdeeq and John Jigg$ is intimidating as are their menacing, yet mastered bars.

SpaceLAB Recordings in association with Rebel Vein Entertainment & Soulspazm Records presents “Crush Your Enemies Totally”, the latest single off Queens emcee supreme Rock Mecca’s upcoming EP Rise To Power, which will arrive at streaming services & digital stores early Spring 2022.


Rock Mecca has been preparing fans for Rise To Power’s release over the last 6 months by consistently releasing singles, & the 4th outing on this streamlined & unapologetic EP is “Crush Your Enemies Totally.” “CYET” is a new beginning of sorts, as it also serves as Rock Mecca’s formal debut as a Producer. After putting in enough years as an emcee, you inevitably form a vision of the type of beats you want to hear, & stepping behind the boards for the first time, Rock combines sample chops of eerie legato violins atop classic breakbeat-inspired drums as he paints vivid pictures of preparation for war, paranoia & careful surveillance of one’s enemies - the song’s title inspired by Robert Greene’s 15th Law in The 48 Laws of Power.


Rock Mecca has quietly assembled a resume of collaborations that reads like a who’s-who of classic hip-hop, & “Crush Your Enemies Totally” is no different, once again reaching out to the Wu-Tang family tree in the form of Killah Priest, who delivers the same quality of poetic & abstract wordplay that has helped him remain a fan favorite over the last 25 years. Priest sets the tone in the first bar with a Ghengis Khan reference & the deadly serious delivery doesn’t relent until the verse concludes.


The chorus is rounded out by Brownsville, Brooklyn mainstay DV Alias Khryst - often referred to respectfully as “the underground Nate Dogg”, known for pairing melody with grit as he’s laced many a chorus for the likes of Smooth Da Hustler, Trigger Da Gambler, M.O.P., Mobb Deep & many more since his formal debut in 1996 on The Nutty Professor soundtrack.


Rise To Power also includes guest appearances from Ruste Juxx, Cappadonna, Pacewon, Big Rube, Krumbsnatcha, Edo.G, & reggae artist Metric Man. Production is handled by long-time collaborator Jake Palumbo, as well as Wrona, DJ DJO-One, Rock Mecca himself & more.
