Premiered by Pitchfork, Queens’ own bash brothers Meyhem Lauren and Action Bronson team up once again for “Garlic & Oil,” repping the lowlife high life as only they can. Peep your TV listings to check their exploits on F**k That’s Delicious, and stay tuned for Meyhem’s upcoming Piatto D’Oro on Fool’s Gold.
Meyhem Lauren is taking Queens swagger worldwide, traveling the globe with Action Bronson on their travel / dining show F**k That’s Delicious (invading a home near you on the VICELAND cable channel). Their adventures are just an appetizer for Piatto D’Oro, Meyhem’s upcoming free solo release on Fool’s Gold. “Sauce” also scores the trailer for Meyhem’s new web series Got The Fever TV, showcasing rare footage and one-on-ones with some of graffiti’s most iconic and notorious personalities. Watch the trailer on juxtapoz.com.
Meyhem Lauren joins the Fool’s Gold family with “Money In My Pocket.” The first single off his Piatto D’Oro LP, “Money” is top-shelf Laurenovich, featuring classic New York tough talk over a wildly catchy saloon piano beat from Farhot. Premiered on The Fader, the holiday-themed video from director Calmatic (Kendrick Lamar, Vic Mensa, OverDoz) puts Meyhem’s rugged charisma front and center, capturing the Queens MC spreading joy to the people as only he can. Grab “Money In My Pocket” on iTunes!
Meyhem Lauren is a true school Queens, New York original. After dropping outerboro knowledge jewels around the globe on tour with Action Bronson, he’s back home and repping harder than ever with the upcoming free album Piatto D’Oro on Fool’s Gold.
Premiered by Stereogum, “Bonus Round” is a taste of what’s in store: smoothed out samples and knucklehead raps (“whole squad tatted up like Yakuza / we ain’t worried ‘bout getting jobs, you fuckin’ loser”) from a Who’s Who of NY rap royalty: Mey, Action, Long Island legend Roc Marciano and king of outros Big Body Bes. Stay tuned for more gems off Piatto D’Oro in the coming weeks!
