Zimbabwe-born, London-based MC Rhyme Assassin has dropped a new banger and he brings along rap royalty for his new single, “Run 'Em Up (Told Ya)” featuring M.O.P. and Ruste Juxx. The track boasts production from underground rap luminary The Arcitype, whose gritty beat inspired Rhyme Assassin to reach out to his collaborators on here.

“I could only hear M.O.P. on the instrumental,” he explains, adding that it didn’t matter how many times he listened to it, because he could only hear the Mash Out Posse on the beat. When he needed a third verse to close it out, he linked with Ruste, who “complemented M.O.P.’s energy and vibes,” Rhyme Assassin says.

“Run 'Em Up” is the second single from Rhyme Assassin’s upcoming debut album, Dedicated to Self, that also features Ras Kass, Masta Ace, Stic Man (dead prez), Saigon, and Keith Murray. On the boards are Buckwild, Tru Master, and DJ King Flow, among others.

“Run 'Em Up (Told Ya)” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms, with his forthcoming LP, Dedicated to Self is due out later this year via Uncle Rhymez Records. Check out "Run 'Em Up" below.
