TLDR: The new Sayzee and Lupara album, Word On The Street Is God Wants You Dead, delivers raw underground hip-hop energy and a supporting visual, “Wash Your Hands.”
When Sayzee links up with super producer collective Lupara, the result is nothing less than a seismic ripple through underground hip hop. Their new 14-track release, Word On The Street Is God Wants You Dead, is a stark, uncompromising project that plants its flag deep in the territory of raw lyricism and cinematic production.
Lupara is a powerhouse collective of beat architects: Sb11, MIGHTYHEALTHY, Fludust, Hobgoblin, Bohemia Lynch, Timepiece, and Machacha. Together with Sayzee’s cutting delivery, they create an atmosphere that feels heavy, cinematic, and street-certified. This is not an album built for playlists or algorithm-driven comfort zones. It is designed to shake, provoke, and linger long after the last verse fades.
From the first track to the last, Word On The Street Is God Wants You Dead thrives on a balance of eerie textures and sharp narratives. Sayzee stalks each beat with purpose, his bars dripping with menace and precision, while the collective pushes their sound into menacing territory that nods to classic underground energy but never feels nostalgic. It feels alive, in the moment, and unafraid.
The record is already finding visual support with the new video for “Wash Your Hands,” produced by Hobgoblin. Directed and edited by Tyler Roussel, with film production handled by whoiscreate and Create My Wrld, the video is a grimy, shadow-soaked statement piece. Its imagery complements the record’s tone: dark, deliberate, and rooted in a vision that speaks directly to the underground. You can watch it on YouTube.
For those ready to dive in, the full album is streaming now on Spotify and available for purchase via Bandcamp. Word On The Street Is God Wants You Dead has the weight of a cult classic in the making.
