King Khali - PRiDE iS A LANDMiND (Single)

PRiDE

King Khali is back in his hunger mode, and with Duvin on production, you already know the beat is knocking. He kicks off his return with “PRiDE,” a record that targets the downfall of many. Khali reflects on a saying from his mom, using that wisdom to dissect how pride leads people into their own dilemmas. But instead of simply warning others, he flips the narrative and turns it into a pointed reminder of his own resilience.

Throughout the track, Khali relives his come-up and the obstructions he’s had to overcome. He knows pride isn’t something easily escaped, it’s a double-edged sword that can destroy anyone who tries to test its limits. “PRiDE” becomes personal as Khali directs the aftermath of this emotion toward those who once crossed him with ill intent. Now, they’re left watching the storm they helped create.

“LANDMiND”

This record is different: this one’s personal. “LANDMiND” is venomous. Not in a petty or vengeful way, but in the way Khali speaks raw truth. He addresses the ego of someone who thinks they’ve used him as a stepping stone to success, when in reality, they’re still leaning on others and have nothing to show for it. The track is downright vicious. Let’s just say, I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end. And even worse? I’d hate to be the one who tries to respond. This isn’t a diss, it’s a reflection. A warning meant to hold a mirror up, not spark a reply.

If these two tracks are any indication of what’s to come from Khali’s highly anticipated project, then best believe we’re sitting at attention, ready and waiting for what other firepower he’s got in store.
