Chicago producer A-Villa has been working hard on his debut album Carry On Tradition, which will be released on November 4th via Closed Sessions. Tonight, he decides to release his new single “The Colosseum”, featuring Big K.R.I.T., Termanology and Inspectah Deck.
A-Villa had quite to say about this record when he released it. He says…"The Colosseum is the ultimate battle arena. And as a song, it represents the battle element of emceeing, with my blaring string & horn driven beat providing the battleground for Big K.R.I.T., Termanology, and Inspectah Deck to showcase their lyrical abilities. It also pays homage to some of the great lyrical emcees that paved the way, such as Big Pun, Big Daddy Kane, The D.O.C, and others... who you hear vocally on the hook."
“Sonically, I was inspired by DJ Premier & RZA and you can hear that from the intro, to the scratching, and the Kung Fu movie snippet at the end. Big K.R.I.T. sets the track off lovely with his southern drawl and precise wordplay.” - A-Villa
Thoughts on the collab?
Quotable Lyrics:
Got a couple Medusa's they keep me rock hard
These niggas optical illusions, they are not stars
If it aint that GQ, then its not ours
Fuck that bullshit bitch, I'm about war (hope you 'bout yours)
