Slaine returns with the new video for “Slaine Is Dead”.
It focuses not on his success, but more so walking out of his darkest hours and confronting his failures. In a career marked by dark lyricism and introspection this project is both, but also finds Slaine exploring hope, faith and courage. He never abandons his roots, but gives us a new perspective on old themes.
Slaine is no stranger to success. The Boston-native has had movie roles alongside A-list stars such as Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, Harvey Keitel and most recently Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Kevin Hart. He’s made records with Hip Hop legends DJ Premier, Cypress Hill, Action Bronson, Snoop Dogg, Statik Selektah, Raekwon & U-God of Wu-Tang and was a founding member of the super-group La Coka Nostra with Everlast, DJ Lethal, Danny Boy of House of Pain, and Ill Bill of Non-Phixion. Slaine has landed four albums in the top 20 on Billboard’s hip hop chart since 2009 both as a solo artist and with La Coka Nostra and has appeared in nine films in the same time span. He’s achieved heights that most only dream of, not only in Hip Hop but also in Hollywood.
Today (9-23-2016)Â Slaine returns with a brand new eight track EP, Slaine is Dead. Â It focuses not on his success, but more so walking out of his darkest hours and confronting his failures. In a career marked by dark lyricism and introspection this project is both, but also finds Slaine exploring hope, faith and courage. He never abandons his roots, but gives us a new perspective on old themes. He vividly depicts the life of a drug dealer on “Pusher”, shares his drive since childhood to make his mark on “Legendary” and ultimately finds salvation on “Coming Home”.
