Brooklyn's 2wiin Kingz are back with an imposing new single, "To Get Bye." Featuring Nessa Cannon, Mai Storri, and K Fresh Music, the song is a testament to lyricism without the frills and shortcuts, just raw bars with content and grit. Straight out the streets of Flatbush, where the party is always at its highest, the 2wiin Kingz never backed down from a mic or a battle. And on "To Get Bye," they reassert their crown with clever wordplay and the raw authenticity that slices through today's loud, grating rap noise.
The beat rides smooth and gritty, a soulful canvas on which the two rappers let loose in their pockets without getting in each other's way. It's a cipher on the move that is intentionally structured but fiery. The song read like a lyrical relay. 2wiin Kingz starts it off with nothing less than self-assurance, their cadence crisp and veteran. Mai Storri is next with a complex verse layered sweetly with vulnerability but counterbalanced by bite, making it clear she's here not just to rhyme but also to resonate. Then we have K Fresh Music, bringing an undeniable raw beat and Nessa Cannon whose effort seems as reflexive as it is explosive. The chemistry is unmistakable, and every line reflects a decade-plus of grind, grit, and Brooklyn-bred hunger.
"To Get Bye" is not a track attempting to hop on a trend. It's a statement, a lyrical collaboration in which every man uses the opportunity to speak his brutal truth, pain, and passion. The song inhabits that narrow space between grim determination and cruel, unrealized potential that we walk as human beings existing in the workforce. At a time when the genre is driven by hits, 2wiin Kingz is a welcome return to the rawness, bars, storytelling, and unrepentant self-expression. If this is what they're all about, Flatbush may be sporting the next significant dynasty in hip-hop. "Get Bye" is a lyrical coronation.
