Casanova’s rough and rugged style is perfect for this boxing themed song that leads the charge for Anthony Joshua’s June 1st clash with Andy Ruiz at Madison Square Garden.
“Boxing and music are very similar. They both give you a voice to express the anger you feel, without getting in trouble for it,” Casanova told Billboard. “I hope that doesn’t go over y’all heads.”

What happens when Griselda connects with DJ Premier? Pure wickedness.
Westside Gunn, Conway and Benny put their verbal stylings over some head-snapping DJ Premier production on “Headlines,” which is released on Payday Records.
“I’ve wanted to do a record with them individually for a few years now,” DJ Premier says. “I had been listening to Westside Gunn first. Conway got my lyrical attention very heavy when Alchemist told me to listen to how he rhymes. Then after I got in tune with Benny’s songs, I immediately knew that in order to follow up the Casanova record it made sense to have all three on the same single. ‘Headlines’ was made organically from a blank canvas at my studio at 2am and it happened so fast; and I loved their work ethic.”

With the full project dropping on June 7th, Daringer kicks things off with the mild-mannered “Afet.”
