West Coast vet Dios Negasi teams up with fellow emcee Drudrikid for this new hard-hitting track titled “NICCOLO PAGANINI” which is inspired by the Italian composer of the same name. Bolstered by an ominous vocal sample-driven backdrop, the emcees deliver vivid and unfiltered bars with reckless abandon. Lines like “Designer drugs, space jar turn to El Roy’s/I’m ten toes down, get bags like the bell boy/Big face hunters with guns like HellBoy’s/One bang hit everything ‘tween your deltoids” caught our attention but the fun doesn’t stop there as Drudrikid follows up with some extra punchy lines as well.
Speaking on the significance of the track title Negasi revealed that the famed Italian composer’s nickname was ‘the devil’s violinist.’
“NICCOLO PAGANINI” is the second single from the forthcomingLP Black Violens(to drop shortly). Another single “Hilfiger Summer” dropped previously featuring appearances from his Reagan Era Records brethren Skrillz Dior and Dyverse. In addition to these releases, Dios has revealed that another LP from the Reagan Era Records collective, will also drop before the end of the year.
