Read moreThe Roots and Bilal team up for a new song titled “It Ain’t Fair”. Taken from the “Detroit” movie soundtrack. “This song is the slow burning fire inside all of our souls,” Roots drummer Questlove tells Rolling Stone. “Watching the movie [Detroit] clearly shows that life in 1967 isn’t that much different in 2017 or 1897 for that matter. We wanted to hit many a bird with one stone: Humanize the pain, confusion and sadness. But also express the overdue anger. Not only to the powers that be but also to those on the sideline that can afford to turn the other way because it doesn’t effect them at the moment.” Press play on “It Ain’t Fair” below.

Today, the two up and comers connect with contribution from producers Take a Daytrip for the new single “Street Walker.” The baby-colored, animated single art meshes perfectly with the vibe of this equally cartoonish record. A flute jingle kicks off the bouncy record, and steers it, while K$ace backs up the production (and IshDARR) with high-pitched melodic ad-libs. The beat also heads in a darker direction to accommodate K$ace’s verse, before picking back up at the hook. The two rappers actually connected by way of Take a Daytrip, as IshDARR tells us, “We both work with the producers Take a Daytrip, so we all just got in a session together, I told Sace to do the hook. We were having a wild convo and it just turned into this dope idea.” K$ace went on to elaborate on said “wild convo,” revealing its topic: “Yeah, it was based on this convo we were having about the hustle of strippers and prostitutes and I don’t know,” $ace says, “I just found the term ‘street walker’ and was like, ‘yo!
