Onyx “Blk Sknhds” (Audio)

Legendary hip hop duo Onyx return to their New York roots on their upcoming gritty, aggressive all new studio album!!!

Celebrating the rough and tumble streets that shaped them, Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz unleash fresh dimensions of hell with their upcoming new album, ‘The Lower East Side’.

And, to pave the way, the compulsive rhythms and propulsive rhymes of the album’s first single, “Blk Sknhds”, encapsulate all the dynamism and excitement of the full release.

Formed in 1988 by Fredro, with Sticky joining three years later, Onyx have long been regarded among the most exhilarating bands on the hip hop scene, an incendiary marriage of hardcore confrontation, slam dancing (remember 1993’s platinum selling “Slam”?), and even onstage fighting.

Their debut album, ‘Bacdafucup’ (say it quickly!), followed “Slam” to platinum status, with Source magazine electing it to their Top 100 Best Albums, and two further tracks spinning into the Billboard chart, “Throw Ya Gunz” and “Shiftee.”

Further albums (and their own Marvel comic!) followed before Onyx joined the Cleopatra family in 2014, with a blistering collection of unreleased songs, ‘#TURNDAFUCUP’; since then, Cleopatra’s X Ray subsidiary has released a stream of fresh Onyx releases, including 2021’s ‘Onyx For Life’, 2023’s ‘Blood On Da X’, and last year’s ‘Ghetto Anthems’.

All leading up to ‘The Lower East Side’, an excoriating rampage inspired by the chaos, aggression, and rage that is so much a part of the modern world – but one that uniquely offers both solutions and vision (“Tear Shit Up”, anyone?) that reach far beyond mere fury and protest.
