The label, which includes artists like Rich Brian, Joji, Keith Ape and Higher Brothers, released numerous projects and made their mark on the North American rap game. August 08 is another name on the label that you should get familiar with. His project Father became a critically acclaimed body of work and now, fans are eager to hear what he has in store. Today, August 08 recruits Smino for his new single, "Blood On My Hands."
August 08 is back with his new single "Blood On My Hands" which features Smino. The track is a smooth track but has a vibe that fits for any occasions, whether you're smoking out or partying. August 08 effortlessly blends elements of R&B, hip-hop, electronica and dance. Keep your eyes peeled for more new music from both artists.
Quotable Lyrics
Waiting on my soul weighs you down
We should let it go, I stuck around too long
The thought is on my mind to get away from you
With karma on my back, I only lose
