Kid Bookie reconnects with his trap-metal roots on new single, H.A.T.E

“H.A.T.E is an anthem for those who just sometimes just need to say ‘fuck it’," reveals Kid Bookie as he shares the latest cut from forthcoming album Cheaper Than Therapy II.

Kid Bookie is getting more vicious than ever on new single H.A.T.E.

Taken from his forthcoming album Cheaper Than Therapy II, the new song finds him embracing his heaviness, and while some artists might run away from genre tags, Bookie has explained that this time around he wants to honour them.

“H.A.T.E is an anthem for those who just sometimes just need to say ‘fuck it’. I wanted to make a song that was a nod back to what people know me for but also the intensity of where I lie within heavy music,” says Bookie. “I’ve been called all types of genres and names since I came in this game and for once, I feel like consciously honouring those titles, this is heavy rap at its finest, trap metal at its ugliest with the lyricism of what has got me recognised by some of the greatest rappers to spit a bar.”

H.A.T.E follows the singles Prettier, BLAME and Rose McGowan, while Cheaper Than Therapy II is out via FLG on October 16 and follows up 2024’s Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead.

“Cheaper Than Therapy II is the closest thing to a full circle fuck you imaginable. After losing a home, a relationship, friends, family, agents, labels and more, there was a time I had no hope but a remnant of a dream and a small flame,” Bookie explains. “Cheaper Than Therapy was always about giving the underdog their moments, not just me. An underground artist bringing the legends and stars of rock and beyond into a melting pot of post-genre feeling and mood whilst asking them to bare their truths in audio format."
