We should have seen this collab coming the second Luke Bar$ name checked Cousin Stizz in “AND SOON” last year. Bar$ preps the world for his forthcoming record Angels Never Die — out tomorrow, January 13 — by trading verses with Stizz in “Tables Turn,” the Brockton rapper’s poignant new single. “Baby I seen fucked up things with my eyelids,” Bar$ raps on the first verse, and he’s not too shy to divulge the harrowing details, bloody tees to “bullets flying.” Bar$ speaks with unflinching intensity, only pausing to pass the mic to Boston’s rap royalty. It’s a transition so seamless, you’d swear Bar$ was among his brothers in Van Buren Records. “Tables Turn” isn’t just a documentation of struggle and survival — it’s the sound of the Boston-Brockton bond growing stronger.
Tap in below, and catch Bar$ at his Angels Never Die listening party tomorrow at the Foundation Room inside the House of Blues.
