Platinum producer DJ Pain 1 and experimental rap pioneer Sole are teaming up for an album. Dubbed DEATHDRIVE, the forthcoming set aims to “eschew the rapper persona of martyr/prophet and speak from the riot line,” combining the Anticon founder’s knack for incisive political invective with the trap-addled sonics of a beat-master best known for his work with Young Jeezy, 50 Cent, Juicy J, 2 Chainz, and Gucci Mane, to name a few. The first taste of their unlikely collaboration is “Coal” featuring Decomposure, and it’s powerful stuff.
