Affiliated with the esteemed TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment), genre-bending Chicago rapper Kembe X reunites with Hippie Sabotage and Isaiah Rashad on his latest single “Rolling Stoned.”
Produced by the globally renowned producer duo Hippie Sabotage, Kembe X and Isaiah Rashad’s latest collaboration is a thought-provoking masterpiece that cleverly disguises its depth with wordplay and ethereal alternative hip-hop production. Featuring cryptic lines, the track may initially appear as brash rap, but it unfurls into a profound exploration of personal growth, dreams, and self-discovery. With a hypnotic sound and intricate lyricism, “Rolling Stoned” invites listeners to embark on a journey of hidden meanings and insights, making it a captivating and intellectually stimulating musical experience.
“When we made this song in September 2021, it felt like a reunion and an opportunity to show Hippie Sabotage, I’m not the same person who moved from Chicago to LA and crashed on their couch” shares Kembe X. “It was a chance to demonstrate my newfound confidence in my creative abilities and a willingness to adopt a fresh approach to music. It’s not a reinvention of my artistry, but a shedding of old skin and a dreamy exploration of a new version of myself, deeply connected to my psychedelic discoveries.”
“Rolling Stoned” follows the Chicago rapper’s recent single “Pole Vaulting” highlighting Kembe X’s full arsenal as a rapper, as well as Hippie Sabotage’s dark, gritty production.
