Atlanta multi-talented singer, rapper and producer Sy Ari Da Kid recruits Griselda artist Benny The Butcher for his soulful new single “Press 0.” The Sypooda produced track appears on Sy Ari Da Kid’s upcoming album The Shadow In The Shade available on March 18. The album features guests Jadakiss, T.I., Raekwon, Big K.R.I.T., Cyhi The Prynce, Ransom, JR Writer, Aye Verb, Mickey Factz and Shawn Ellery. Full tracklist below.
Sy Ari Da Kid explains, “’Press 0’ is a feeling alot of us from the bottom get about whenever somebody we know gets arrested and gets a free phone call to call somebody that might be able to either bail them out or just talk until they can be released. You have to press 0 to accept the call and talk. It puts you in that mood and that’s where I was mentally when creating this song.”
