KING VIR2UE, the native New Yorken Production machine who now calls Virginia home has been staying busy in 2024. We reported on several of his releases with MICKEY BOURBON, TONY DIMES, FRANCHEYEZ & K-PREZ early in the year, but those tracks did not prepare us for the BarFest delivered on his latest single, “4 ASSASSINS” featuring Microphone Murderers, YOURS TRULY THE POET, SOSOON, TONY DIMES, & Pendulum Ink Professor and Alumni, Mr. “I Said Ayooooo” SHOWROCKA. The KING VIR2UE Organ and Bassline driven slapper is both smooth but urgent enough for these 4 Hitmen to glide over like Ninjas from roof top to roof top. Are you a fan of Master Level Penwork? Hit play below and protect your neck and other extremeties.
Listen to 4 Assassins by KING VIR2UE feat SHOWROCKA, YOURS TRULY, SOSOON, & TONY DIMES
SHOWROCKA sets off the “Death by One Thousand Punchlines”, and displays the skills that sharpened at PENDULUM INK, the same skills that made him Student of the Year and promoted him to Staff Member of the 1st Official School for the Art of Emceeing.
SHOWROCKA describes himself as “Big Fish, I’m a Megladon / You give these girls Half Pipe, then you wonder why they be Skating Off/ They call me Tony with the Hawk, leave your faces scared / Homie this is Mufassa on the Cliff, when he’s facing Scarr/”
YOURS TRULY THE POET is a name I wasn’t familiar with before this song, but off his opening bars alone he made me want to go check his catalogue. He comes out swinging a sharp katana blade of a bar with opening lines like,
“I feel bad for these young boys today in music / Rappers on their Video set, you see them acting stupid / 4 Ks laying around, Not Just the Camera shooting / Now we got a HI-Def ( High Death) Rate, but whats the Resolution?/ !!!!BARS!!!!
SOSOON wields a pair of Sais like a rebellious Raphael, letting his Style drip like blood over the infectious instrumental ending his verse with some 3rd degree burners….
“If I uh, see him again, I’ll bequeath, depends/ Discent Pen, But they lack substance to make a descent gem/ Ether is nothing without something to seep it in/ So if you think you spitting fire, The fuck you think Im Secreting Bitch!/”
This makes way for long time partner in rhyme TONY DIMES to come through and play clean up with Negan’s spiked bat as he spits…
“Big Fish in a small tank, Picture That/ We been searched the Ocean for an Enemy like Nemos Dad/ You havent heard from me in a minute, think I was done with Rap/ Kid I float above “The Wave”, I’m piloting this hover craft/“ Sheeeesh!!!
The song is tied together with a catchy, playful hook that is a lot more light-hearted then the lethal dosage of punches in each verse. The “Rock, Paper, Scissor, Shoot” can easily get stuck in your head as you recall growing up playing Ro-Sham-Bo with your siblings. These trained assassins new exactly what they were doing when they aimed this track between our eyes. Insta Kill Head Shot!

We tried to tell you KING VIR2UE has been extremely busy this year. Not only does he produce decapitating bangers, he also can make the kind of joints that get the ladies on the dance floor. Check his latest Vibe for the Sisters, “MISS IMPORTANT”, starring Tallahassee FL Up and Comer LORETTA’S ONLY.
Listen to “MISS IMPORTANT” by LORETTA’S ONLY, produced by KING VIR2UE, feat SOSOON
LORETTA’S ONLY brings his Southern Swag to this feel good bop, and invites KING VIR2UE’s long time collaborator SOSOON to join on the Panty Chasing shenanigans. Both spitters prove they got game for days over a slapping smooth beat provided by VIR2UE that makes it easy to talk that Slick Shit to catch a girls ear. Unless she is trying to act like “MISS IMPORTANT” that is.
