Rome Streetz and Joey Bada$$ conte on their new ‘Fire At Ya Idle Mind’ single
It’s hard-hitting from start to finish but of course those signature bars? Super tough. Rome and Joey come through with a replay-friendly audio gem.
It’s been nearly a year since Rome Streetz released his breakthrough Griselda debut album, Kiss The Ring, which was widely hailed by fans as one of the trendsetting imprints' best releases of 2022. It was also a mainstay on critics’ end-of-year “Best Of” lists, including HotNewHipHop, HipHopWired, Okayplayer, Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. Rome was also included on the Rising Hip Hop Artists To Watch in 2023 by iHeartRadio and Buzzfeed and made his national debut TV Appearance on Jalen & Jacoby.
If you couldn’t tell then that Rome was on the cusp of becoming one of the industry’s rising stars, the last eleven months have only aided in that claim.
Starting in February of this year, Rome released Wasn’t Built In A Day, with Big Ghost Ltd, which featured collaborations with Method Man and Conway The Machine. Since then, his profile has continually risen by becoming a sought-after collaborative, and delivering scene-stealing guest appearances on Conway’s Drumwork Records album (“Elephant Man”), DJ Muggs Soul Assassins 3: Death Valley (“67 Keys” & “Skeleton Bones”) and most recently DJ Premier’s “Runway” single with Westside Gunn. Rome will also have music included on EA Sports' forthcoming 2KBeats soundtrack for NBA2K24.
Now, Rome is prepping his most ambitious project yet with the newest installment of his Noise Kandy series, Noise Kandy 5, and you can now stream the project’s second focus track “Fire At Ya Idle Mind,” featuring Joey Bada$$ which is now available at all DSP’s!
You know what they say about idle minds, they create chaos and stagnation; and as Rome and Joey prove with “Fire At Ya Idle Mind,” they have no time for lack of progress or engagement.
“This is a collab that fans have been asking for, for years” Rome acknowledges. “I decided to make it happen, it was time.”
Rome Streetz’ Noise Kandy 5 will be released on 9-29-23 by Equity Distribution and features collaborations with Joey Bada$$, Curren$y, Boldy James, Rigz, Conductor Williams, Evidence & Wavy Da Ghawd.
DJ Premier: The Westside Gunn and Rome Streetz 'Runway' is non-stop repeat fire
It’s tough to have singles make it to the Attack The Culture ‘News’ section - just keeping it 100. But the moment you fire up DJ Premier’s ‘Runway’ anthem, you know this isn’t your typical new release.

DJ Premier links with Westside Gunn and Rome Streetz for ‘Runway’
The song is instant replay worthy and the bars? Super tough, to say the least. Lose yourself in the details and keep the repeat mode activated.
A true testament to his artistry, longevity and legacy, DJ Premier is more than likely your favorite producers, favorite producer. Over the last three + decades, DJ Premier has cultivated an impeccable resume, and whether it’s been music, movies, television, live performances, or art, he has provided cutting-edge soundtracks that have influenced, shaped, and molded every medium he touches.
Fresh off of his appearance, “Lost Forever,” on Travis Scott’s Utopia album (Travis initially premiered the track during Paris Fashion Week in 2022), Westside Gunn is a mainstay on Paris Fashion Week guest lists. Inspired by soundtracking the AMIRI Autum-Winter 2023 runway show in Paris earlier this year and collaborating with the brand’s Founder and Creative Director Mike Amiri, DJ Premier effortlessly glides into the fashion space with his aptly-titled new single “Runway,” featuring Gunn and Rome Streetz.
Like Westside Gunn’s famous adlib (boom, boom, boom) anytime DJ Premier and Gunn sync up the results are always fireworks. In 2019, Premier tapped Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher and Conway The Machine for the undisputed banger “Headlines,” which was released in conjunction with Payday Records; and even went to Buffalo to film the Jason Goldwatch directed video on Griselda's home turf. That was followed soon thereafter by Preem’s contribution (“Shawn Vs Flair”) to Westside Gunn’s magnum opus Pray For Paris.
While Preem and Gunn’s collaborative history is solidified, they’ve done it again with their new single “Runway,” which also features fellow rising Griselda star Rome Streetz. “It’s always a guarantee for me to deliver a street approach when producing a record with them (Westside Gunn & Rome)” DJ Premier affirms. “Originally, Mike Amiri [Founder and Creative Director, AMIRI] pitched it to happen during the Paris Week fashion show, but we waited. Now, we have an additional “Runway” to walk on…”
The artwork for “Runway” was created by Mike Amiri whose eponymous LA fashion house, AMIRI, is one of the fastest-growing luxury brands in the world. The new single will be preceded by the release of DJ Premier & AMIRI’s new clothing capsule collection releasing August, 17th 2023 at 9:00AM PST on amiri.com, AMIRI boutiques and select global retailers.

With his ear always to the streets, Westside Gunn recognized and admired Rome Streetz’s talents and knew he would make the perfect addition to Griselda. “When I think of NYC and bars, no one’s name comes up first before Rome Streetz. He’s an emcees emcee and Griselda is a lot stronger with Rome” Westside Gunn confidently asserts. “We made a classic tape and this is just the beginning. Rome Streetz is the future; Kiss The Ring.”
Executive produced and exquisitely curated by Westside Gunn, Kiss The Ring, much to fan excitement, is a uniformly GXFR affair and features appearances and production from Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, Boldy James, Stove God Cooks, Armani Caesar, The Alchemist, Daringer, DJ Green Lantern, Conductor Williams, Camouflage Monk, Denny Laflare, Sadugold & Sovren.
