Meyhem Lauren teams up with Madlib and DJ Muggs on his new single.

Meyhem Lauren’s cooking up something serious these days. The Queens-bred rapper has delivered some incredible records in recent times, which felt like a strong comeback following a successful venture on television. The rapper joined Action Bronson on Fuck, That’s Delicious but that appeared to open the gates for more food-related ventures. His YouTube channel, for instance, finds him exploring some of his favorite recipes while adding his own twist to them.

However, he hasn’t forgotten about his fans, who are always here for new music. Last year, he emerged with his latest body of work, Black Vladimir. The album, a collaborative effort alongside Griselda go-to Daringer, brought included 15 songs in total while Meyhem collided with beastly MCs, like Westside Gunn, Conway, Flee Lord, and more. However, it looks like the late August project was a taste of what he has in store moving forward.

Meyhem Lauren - Fresh Out The Water ft. Madlib and DJ Muggs

While we saw with Meyhem Lauren could do when he locks in with one producer, his next project will have two legendary producers handling the beats. This week, he slid through with the first single off of his upcoming joint effort with Madlib and DJ Muggs, “Fresh Out The Water.” The hypnotic vocal sample and crispy drums are a fusion of Madlib and Muggs’ signature styles while Lauren doesn’t hold back. “The system tried to turn us to workers so they could jerk us/  Opponents look for open opportunities to merk us,” he raps on the record.

Though he hasn’t laid down a release date for the project, “Fresh Out The Water” is a promising sign of what’s to come. Madlib and Muggs have yet to work together on a project in the past, so it feels as though Meyhem Lauren has all the pieces in place for a strong Album Of The Year contender. We’ll keep you posted on any more information regarding the forthcoming project. For now, press play on the single above and let us know your thoughts in the comments. 

Quotable Lyrics
Soul liquid and gas, it’s ironic ‘cause I’m solid
Cubano link brolic, crypto in a code wallet
Accumulate in any form except cash
A lot of n***as tried to hand but can’t last
