The Video:

Earlier this month, Copywrite released God Save The King: Proper English Version. The album, a deluxe edition re-release of his God Save The King album released earlier this year, featured Copywrite enlisting a number of the UK's brightest up-and-coming rappers to remix tracks from God Save The King, names like Dru Blu, Mystro, SAS, Akala, and Iron Braydz, along with Context, who was voted as MTV UK's New Artist Of The Year in 2011, and who appears on this latest single, "Ghosts In The Machine."

The song, "Ghost In The Machine," finds Copywrite and Context taking aim at those jealous of their position in rap, and in particular at the rare breed of haters who waste their day leaving negative comments online. Copywrite opens the track forcefully, rapping, "You hide behind your blog/ I'm hiding behind your garage/ With a barrage of bullets right on your front lawn," and continues to poke fun with slick lines like, "Ultimate compliment/ When a hater gets stalkerish/ Since they gave every compliment/ They have nothing to talk but shit." The video, directed by R.M.L., humorously plays off the song's concept, working together a mix of performance shots with a host of funny shots, as fans spend their days watching Copywrite videos and aimlessly directing their hate to the comments section.

The Background:

Copywrite is no stranger to the hip-hop scene. Emerging from the Columbus, Ohio, underground, he initially gained attention as a member of the crew MegaHertz, or MHz. He was also a member of The Weatherman, a hip-hop supergroup boasting names like Aesop Rock and Cage. Copy made a name for himself as a solo artist the release of his debut album, The High Exulted, which included production from longtime collaborator RJD2, in 2000, and since then has busied himself with various guest appearances, before teaming back up with MHz for the release of Table Scraps, a compilation project including rare cuts and b-sides. In 2010, Copywrite signed with Man Bites Dog Records and released his sophomore solo album, The Life and Times of Peter Nelson. He followed that album in February 2012 with God Save The King, and now, on August 7th, Copywrite will release God Save The King: Proper English Version, which will include a handful of new exclusives, in addition to a number of remixes of God Save The King standouts, featuring a collection of the UK's biggest rappers, a list that includes Context, Dru Blu, Mystro, SAS, Akala, Iron Braydz, and more.
