“In the last few years after I got home, I lost my brother, caught COVID before the vaccines were ready and was in a car crash. They thought I might not walk again, I just started walking without a cane. I’m not supposed to be here.” Buffalo emcee Maddd Borleone is grateful for every day because he knows very well at any moment it can be taken from him.

New joint (out digitally today) “Raining Bricks” (which premiered on Paper Chase Dot Com‘s Youtube channel) is a prime example of how he weaves tales from the streets that he has observed or experienced first-hand. Over a Toneyboi (Camoflauge Monk, Conway The Machine) beat Borleone and guest Rick Hyde (Black Soprano Family) bring that lyricism that Buffalo has become globally known for in recent years.
