The answer was an immediate yes. Late last year, fans got an early listen to the track when it appeared in episode eight of Apple TV+’s basketball drama series Swagger, executive produced by Kevin Durant and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Reggie Rock Bythewood. “Kids Against The Monsters (feat. Corey Taylor of Slipknot)” is available now to stream and download across digital platforms HERE. An official video for the track was also released today. WATCH HERE.
Thrilled to be sharing the latest version of “Kids Against The Monsters” with Slipknot collaborator Corey Taylor, Hyro said, “Working with Corey Taylor was absolutely incredible. When I first heard him sing the words of the chorus we created, I got chills. Kids Against The Monsters is about the problems we deal with from generation to generation. This generation is trying to find peace and fix past mistakes. When you press play and listen to my music, I want you to feel the positivity and love.”
Corey Taylor also gave his thoughts on teaming up with Hyro on the track, “It’s always nice to collaborate with up-and-coming talent, especially when you’re a genuine fan. I was stoked to hop on this song with Hyro The Hero. He embodies what a true artist is meant to do: make you feel something. This song is a great reminder that we’re stronger together when facing our demons.”
The Kids Against The Monsters mixtape includes previously released tracks such as the incendiary “FU2 (Feat. AJ Channer of Fire From The Gods),” “We Believe (feat. David Draiman of Distubed,)” and “Fight (feat. Chad Gray of Hellyeah)”. Hyro announced the project in a reflective piece published by Knotfest last year, explaining how his Houston roots introduced him to the idea of the mixtape and expressing how sacred that concept is in the hip-hop community to reaching new fans. The mixtape is an embodiment of Hyro’s growth as a musician, as he stayed true to the hip-hop ideology embedded in his DNA, while also fulfilling the emotional pull he felt towards rock music in his teens. Read the full statement HERE. Additionally, Knotfest aired a series of interviews with Hyro and his collaborators to dive deeper into the project and the inspiration behind each track.
