Statik Selektah featuring Black Thought, Action Bronson & Royce da 5'9" - The Imperial Audio

Black Thought, Action Bronson and Royce da 5’9” are all picturesque portraits of the emcees’ emcees. All three know how to rap incredibly well, and can operate on a beat using a variety of methodologies. Producer and boom-bap revivalist Statik Selektah has realized rap fans’ dreams by uniting all three for his new track “The Imperial Audio,” which is set to be included on his upcoming full-length LP, What Goes Around. On “The Imperial Audio,” the Shade 45 host laces the trio with a cinematic, sample-based beat, allowing all three to let loose and run rampant over the same sort of Golden Age-style percussion that the legends of their craft used to assault decades ago. You can listen to “The Imperial Audio” above.
