Roc Marciano, DJ Premier Drop ‘Prayer Hands' From Upcoming ‘The Coldest Profession'

Yahoo4 days ago
Roc Marciano and DJ Premier have released 'Prayer Hands,' the second single from their upcoming The Coldest Profession album. On the two-minute track, Roc gets busy over some classic Premier chops, rhyming, 'I'm like Magic/I can shoot it or pass it/ became a legend because everything I'm doin' is rooted in passion' on the minimalist beat.
'Roc always makes sure to never go in the direction of the expected types. He brags, without bragging. He shows off, without showing off,' Premier, who's embarking on his He's The Preemo I'm The Chemist tour with the Alchemist this winter, said in a press release. 'If that does not make sense, then you're not what we want in our league of pure style. That's the definition of 'Prayer Hands.' Explanations are not needed.'

The track follows 'Armani Section,' the first single from their project, which they paired with a video shot in Los Angeles. Roc Marciano said the POE-directed visual, like the song, is a 'gutter and expensive' introduction to their upcoming project. The title details the project's genesis. 'True Story: Several years ago I was shopping at Macy's in Herald Square and I was passing the 'Armani Section,' when I see Roc Marci there and he asks me when are we gonna do a record together,' Premier said in a statement. 'I told him we would eventually get to it. Fast forward a few years later, right before Christmas 2024, I gave him a call and told him it was time to get to it. I reminded him of that day, and he said that should be the title of the record. The tone was officially set.'
The Coldest Profession will be released independently on Aug. 8. The track list for the project is below.

Hayley Williams Is the Biggest Star in the ‘Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party' Video

Hayley Williams leaves her mark in the music video for 'Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,' one of her 17 new songs released last week. 'I still believe in Nashville,' she etches onto a wall in black ink during one scene. The Zachary Gray-directed video takes place in the city, following the musician through an early morning and an even later night. 'I'll be the biggest star/At this racist country singer's bar,' she sings from the backseat of a car, then again while hitting a two-step by the Cumberland River alongside Nashville Representative Justin Jones. 'I'll be the biggest star/At this bachelorette party bar,' she continues, this time while walking down Broadway and giving a few dollars to a man on the street raising funds for a penis reduction. And naturally, when she sings 'I'll be the biggest star/At this fucking karaoke bar,' she's on the mic at a holiday-themed karaoke bar. More from Rolling Stone Chappell Roan, Hayley Williams, Metro Boomin, and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Hayley Williams Is Fiercely Independent, and Four Other Takeaways from Her 17 Singles Hayley Williams Premieres 17 New Songs on Website Audio Player Williams doesn't make a big fuss about her homecoming, hanging around town, shooting darts, and downing hot dogs. But on the 'Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party' bridge, she laments, 'Got too big for my britches/Too big for my fishes/The sea got shallower/Every day I danced – I said my prayers/It never rained/And I just want to be in California/Heaven laughs 'cause they all tried to warn us/They sent me right back/From where I came/My tail between my legs/On Broadway.' The untitled 17-track collection is the first Williams has shared on her newly-launched venture Post Atlantic, distributed via Secretly Distribution. Nashville becomes another prominent musical character on 'True Believer,' where the musician continues her interrogation of the city she's seen change before her. 'Tourists stumble down Broadway/Cumberland keeps claiming bodies/All our best memories/Were bought and then turned into apartments,' she sings. 'The club with all the hardcore shows/Now just a greyscale Domino's/The churches overflow each Sunday, greedy Sunday morning.' It isn't rock bottom, but as Williams declares on 'Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,' she can only go up from here.
