This is part of an ongoing 45 series that also features Westside Gunn, Raekwon, Blu, Conway The Machine, DJ Babu, Curren$y, and others. This 7″ single will set the table for Rude One’s official follow-up, Upper Space, which is due to be released physically and digitally in October. The album contains a new single with Roc Marciano as well as songs with Valee, RXK Nephew, Pink Siifu, Stove God Cooks, The Twilite Tone, and more.

DJ Rude One’s ONEderful LP was released in 2016 and earned praise from Pitchfork (6.9), HipHopDX, XXL, Noisey, Fakeshoredrive, and others. It featured Conway, Your Old Droog, Westside Gunn, and Roc Marciano, all of whom are at the top of the Underground Hip Hop food chain. Marciano is hailed as a leader in Hip Hop’s current underground renaissance. The smooth rapper and producer has his fingerprints all over the scene, and regularly receives praise from critics and his established peers.

In 2016, he lent his services to DJ Rude One’s ahead of its time LP, ONEderful. Together, the two crafted stand-out cuts such as “Triple Black Benz” and “Murder Paragraphs”, the latter of which is the latest instalment in the Closed Sessions limited 7″ series. “Murder Paragraphs” is Roc Marciano at his finest and showcases DJ Rude One’s signature less-is-more, grimy sound.

This 7″ contains the original and instrumental version, new artwork by Spectacular Diagnostics, and follows previous entries from Raekwon, Blu, WestSide Gunn, Conway, Open Mike Eagle, and more.
