Some believe that ever so often, we must destroy, to build back greater and stronger. This belief continuously breathes truth when it comes to Hip-Hop, because one must generally ‘tear the house down’, or simply put ‘kill it’, to gain any level of true notoriety.
Newark, New Jersey‘s rising bar bruiser, Wes Nihil, continues to climb his way into top emcee conversations with another loose haymaker titled, “Tear Ya Block Up”, a symbolic ‘destroy & rebuild’ anthem with Alabama-bred, southern-slang spitter, Jaysin The God. Massachusetts‘ beat chemist, Bersurke, masterfully sets the tone with his signature hard-hitting production, barbarically carving a portal for Wes and Jaysin to take turns emptying their fully automatic 16-bar clips.
The visuals, captured by their DIY in-house camera crew (William Cooper, SolidFoto, Wes Nihil, and Jaysin) optically communicate a level of grit and hunger that pairs perfectly with Tyler Harrison‘s (Thriving Era) precise surgical edits. Wes Nihil spoke about “Tear Ya Block Up”, declaring, “I’m just doing my part to wipe out all that same-old-song-type-music. We showed up to tear ya block up to build a better future. Only real ones will relate.” Jaysin added, “I second that. We are tearing down your whole way of thinking. It’s time to relearn the truth.”
