Ghostface Killah Is A 60 Second Assassin In His New Verse

Yesterday (August 25), Ghostface Killah teamed with Westside Gunn and DJ Muggs for “Sicilian Gold.” The collaboration between members of Wu-Tang Clan, Cypress Hill, and Griselda appears on the new Soul Assassins 3: Death Valley album and is embedded below.

GFK, who released a Remy Ma collaborative single “YUPP!” this month, is on a tear. He partners with Red Bull to drop a 60-second freestyle video. In the clip, a freshly-laced “Tony Starks” raps into a mic with swagger—even from the way he sports his headphones around a cap to the side.

TDE MC Ray Vaughn, G Perico, and others have competed in the 60 Second Challenge.
