Cymarshall Law has built a reputation for his thought-provoking lyricism and collaborations with hip-hop heavyweights like KRS-ONE, Sean Price, Elzhi, and Homeboy Sandman. Now, he is amped to release the first official single off his long-awaited new album, The Peaceful Warrior 2: Raw Self-Expression, with UK beatmaker Slimline Mutha, arriving Friday, June 13 on his own Freedom Entertainment (distributed physically by Fats Beats and digitally by Soul Spazm).
Anticipation for The Peaceful Warrior 2: Raw Self-Expression detonates with today’s premiere of the explosive new single, “Blowtorch” featuring Planet Asia with cuts by DJ Rhettmatic. Produced by Slimline Mutha (Sene, Everliven Sound, Loose Cannon), the track is available now at all DSPs and streaming services.
“Blowtorch” is a potent preview of what’s to come on The Peaceful Warrior 2: Raw Self-Expression. It sees Cy teaming up with West Coast legend Planet Asia to unleash a verbal inferno. Their fiery rhymes are elevated by razor-sharp cuts from Southern Cal’s DJ Rhettmatic, adding a classic hip-hop essence to the blazing collaboration. Cy takes no prisoners as he eviscerates weak MCs with lines like: “State your claim—nowadays, these rappers ain’t the same / With a faker chain, you couldn’t write a verse that’s fly on a paper plane.”
The song is just one example of the many exhilarating highlights from The Peaceful Warrior 2: Raw Self-Expression. The 13-song collection is an unfiltered declaration of fearless authenticity and creative freedom. The pyro pen-pushing maestro flexes his signature style throughout his sonic journey, seamlessly blending Jamaican, British, and American influences to create a truly immersive listening experience.
Cy’s techniques as a verbal assassin have garnered high-profile praise from SiriusXM’s Rap Is Outta Control, Underground Hip-Hop Blog, and DJ Booth, to name only a few. Hip-Hop DX probably said it best: “Cymarshall Law is a conscious dude. He may boast a lot and talk tough on occasion but for the most part he wants everybody to speak out against “the establishment,” live up to their potential, and reminisce about how Hip Hop used to be, good, as opposed to how he sees it now, bad.”
The versatile MC remains dedicated to preserving the essence of the art form that first inspired him. His relentless pursuit of his dreams and ambitions is further reflected in his book, 52 Laws of Freedom, which he’ll be presenting to a live audience during his recently announced trip to Japan. When asked about the single release, album, and other recent milestones, Cy shares:
“Hip-Hop, at its core, is fearless self-expression—an unfiltered truth that refuses to be silenced. “Blowtorch” is a reflection of that fire, a reminder that lyricism still reigns and authenticity still matters. Every verse is a declaration, every beat a testament to the journey. This album is not just music—it’s an unbreakable spirit, a legacy of raw artistry, and a call to elevate the craft. No shortcuts, no compromises—just truth.”
