TRUST! There is something in the air…more shots from 38 Spesh. Since the release of 8 Shots, Spesh has been moving differently. Asking questions and discussing topics that typically go unaddressed to the public at large. With the release of "Fools Mate", the summer of Spesh continues, and it’s his latest move in a run that shows no signs of slowing down.
This is chess, not checkers. Spesh has remained several moves ahead and "Fools Mate" makes that official. A direct response to the subs that have taken place since he sat down with the BagFuel Podcast, "Fools Mate" (Produced by AraabMuzik) is Spesh drawing a line between himself and rappers he views as fake, without real credibility, without real status, and without the sustainability to back up the noise, sometimes it’s bigger than rap, "Fools Mate" makes that clear.
Spesh gave the world its first listen to "Fools Mate" as any real conscientious rap artist would acapella, live on the Hot 97 Summer Jam Stage; the way a record like this, and the culture deserves.
Now, Spesh returns with the official video for "Fools Mate", and he didn't do it alone. Spesh brought the city of Rochester out in full force for a block party to bring "Fools Mate" to life on camera, a moment that will be ingrained in the city's history for years to come. It's yet another chapter in a career built on loyalty to where Spesh is from.
"Kiss only said one bar about me, so he only got one back. But Jim…Jim stuck his nose in my business just to go viral again. Then by telling his lil’ man to get at me, he sparked off this whole NYC vs Upstate NY shit, which is not what this is about at all", 38 Spesh clarifies. "So yeah, I had to send a message".
"Fools Mate" is now available on all DSPs. The official video is out now.
