On his new single, Lazarus is not just chopping, he’s lacerating with surgical precision.
Lazarus showcases his remarkable lyrical ability and high social awareness over a beat carefully prepared by Mr. Porter, whose production work is widely known and appreciated. Eminem’s following certainly recognises Mr. Porter’s touch through his multiple collaborations with Em. Mr. Porter always gives a rapper enough space to put out as much flow as they want but provides a solid foundation that can bear their dense bars.
“Scalpel” is the first collaboration between Mr. Porter and Lazarus, an artist who hails from Detroit and never forgets his roots. The track serves as a single for Lazarus’s upcoming solo album, as he told us in his exclusive interview earlier this year. GZA of Wu-Tang Clan loved it, and so will you.
