Now, Rick Hyde is back and along with releasing a new single, “Streets Ain’t The Same” featuring Benny The Butcher and ELcamino, he also announced his new forthcoming project LUPARA. “Streets Ain’t The Same” is now available at all DSP’s.
“Streets Ain’t The Same” is self-explanatory in a sense. After the trials and tribulations and losses, it’s just difficult for things to return to normalcy. That’s where we were at on this record” Rick Hyde explains. “I asked Benny to go back and forth with me and he agreed. We just started speaking our perspectives, no pens, or paper, just pure lyricism. That’s the joy of this record. Long live DJ Shay!”
Rick Hyde’s LUPARA will be released on August 4, 2023.
