HEXED and ZURGLIN have joined forces with Chicago rapper Rockie Fresh for a heavy-hitting collision of hip-hop and bass on their new collab, One of Mine.
Released on Friday, November 6 through CONFUZED MUSIC, a new imprint founded by HEXED, One of Mine lands as the first launch of a series of coordinated releases with Rockie Fresh, including a forthcoming five-track EP 911.
Following Rockie’s recent work with TroyBoi, the single takes his electronic crossover into heavier territory, pairing his sharp rap delivery with aggressive trap drums and wubby, hard-hitting dubstep production.
While the instrumental has already made waves, appearing on Barstool Sports’ Gruden Family Football Show and related Gruden Grinder social content, it took nearly two years for HEXED and ZURGLIN to find the right vocalist.
“ZURGLIN and I had this awesome demo, but we knew it needed the right voice. After nearly two years of perfecting the record and trying different vocalists, we finally got it in front of Rockie Fresh.” HEXED shared. “We were blown away by what he brought to the track. Everything clicked from there, and the creative process was so smooth that Rockie and I ended up producing an entire EP together, coming later this year. This song taught me a lot about patience and letting the right pieces fall into place. Sometimes the best thing you can do is give a record the time it deserves.”
With Rockie on board, the track found its balance between an anthemic vocal hook and heavy bass drops, giving listeners something to follow through every shift throughout the record.
“ONE OF MINE is what happens when me and HEXED link up with Rockie Fresh to throw down,” ZURGLIN added. “The vocals are hard, the energy is anthemic, and the wubs slap. We wanted something you could sing along to one second and absolutely lose your shit to the next.”
