Genecist, an artist from Buffalo, NY, has always believed in the power of music to tell stories of survival and resilience. As someone who has battled Lupus and Hidradenitis Suppurativa, his work transcends sound; it’s a narrative of strength and determination. His latest track, “All Hail The King”, brings together a powerful ensemble featuring Incense, Iyam King, BlacKate Moss, and Cam Marie, with production by T-Rifik. The song carries an energy that demands attention, blending triumphant lyricism with an anthemic beat.
The song’s journey started in 2018, when it was originally written with the hope of joining the Black Panther soundtrack. Though that dream didn’t come to fruition, Genecist continued refining the track. Now, it’s more than just a song—it’s his anthem of survival. He recalls the song playing in his ears during his toughest moments, serving as motivation to keep going and seek feedback from the world. The video, which features his family and community, brings an additional layer of depth to the release, turning it into a personal celebration of life.
From the opening lines, All Hail The King demands your attention with a chorus that resonates like a royal command: “Long live the king, everybody rise up, sing all hail the king.” Genecist’s pen game is sharp, pulling from historical and mythical imagery to craft a narrative of sovereignty:-
“I got a throne that hovers over the clouds / Trumpets call out when I wake up, then I’m greeted by crowds.”
The imagery here is vivid and powerful, evoking rulers and warriors from both history and myth. Genecist conveys the weight of leadership and the wisdom required to wear the crown. The production, courtesy of T-Rifik, complements the narrative with a cinematic feel, layering basslines and harmonies to elevate the song’s central message.
All Hail The King goes beyond the usual confines of hip-hop. It’s a rallying cry, a song about overcoming adversity, and a reminder to never back down. The energy in this track is undeniable, with the hook sticking in your head and the verses leaving a lasting impression. Every line feels like a testament to resilience, each word carving a path toward legacy.
Genecist has faced countless challenges, yet he uses every experience as fuel to ascend. This track is a reflection of his strength, a reflection of anyone who’s ever faced hardship and refused to let it define them.
