MP3: @Blak_Madeen feat. The Gift Of Gab (@RealGiftOfGab) & Cyrus Deshield (@Mr_Deshield) – #LongWayToGo

Blak Madeen - Supreme Aftermath [Album Artwork]

Long Way To Go” is the powerful new single from Boston’s own Blak Madeen, who are gearing up to release their new album, ‘Supreme Aftermath‘.

Since debuting in 2008, the duo of Al-J & Yusuf Abdul-Mateen have used their positivity and passion to craft some of the more poignant Hip-Hop to come out of the New England area. And that’s especially apparent on “Long Way To Go”, a cutting song that features a sharp guest verse from living rap legend, The Gift Of Gab (of Blackalicious). He & Blak Madeen recognize that with each step we take forward as a society to get better, we’re still not there just yet.

Their message is anchored by a contemplative, piano-laden instrumental supplied by The Arcitype, who captures the emotion heard within the verses and chorus. The latter is supplied by rising singer-songwriter Cyrus DeShield, a gifted vocalist who we’ll surely be hearing more from in 2016.

Supreme Aftermath‘ is due out January 15th, via Rhyme Dawah, and includes guest features from Blacastan, G. Dot & Born, Shabazz The Disciple, Krumbsnatcha, DJ Slipwax, and more, and boasts production by Sicknature (of Snowgoons), Divine Styler, Teddy Roxpin,Skin Ced.
