King Magnetic feat. Cappadonna & Dink – I’ll Show You [Audio]

After dropping a serious slapper with “Cash 4 Catastrophe,” King Magnetic delivers a smooth and contemplative new single, “I’ll Show You,” featuring Wu-Tang’s very own Cappadonna, and soulful vocalist, Dink. The second single off King Mag’s upcoming ‘Everything Happens 4 A Reason’ further demonstrates the Allentown, PA’s skill set, which continues to grow with every track he drops. That much is evident on “I’ll Show You,” a head-nodding cut driven by its thoughtful meditations on police brutality and other issues plaguing our society. Cap bats cleanup on the track and provides his own bits of wisdom, noting poignantly that he has given “everybody knowledge to boost their self-esteem” for more than two decades now. And his appearance is fitting on multiple levels, particularly the fact that he’ll be touring with both King Mag and Recognize Ali in the coming month in promotion for ‘Everything Happens 4 A Reason.’ As for the melodic instrumental, it was supplied by acclaimed French producer Astronote, who has worked with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Blu, Talib Kweli, Little Simz, and more. And on “I’ll Show You,” Astro proves once again why he’s on the underground’s best kept secrets as he provides a soulful, jazzy backdrop for King Mag, Cap, and Dink. “I’ll Show You” can now be played through all major streaming outlets, and is available for download as the second and final instant grat track off the iTunes pre-order for ‘EH4AR,’ which drops Friday, March 31st through all major digital retailers and streaming
