Kid Bookie has shared another snapshot of his upcoming project ‘Cheaper Than Therapy II’, and this one features a very special guest from the UK rap world.
Following the pulverising trap metal frenzy of ‘H.A.T.E.’, Bookie’s latest single ‘Familiar’ highlights another side of his musical genius with the help of rap icon Lady Leshurr.
Dialling sown the aggression in favour of raw vulnerability, the track brings a deeply human exploration of love, loss and the painfully real complications that come with letting others into our lives.
Speaking about ‘Familiar’, Bookie has shared:
“‘Familiar’ is a song about how familiarity and complacency in your desired relations can be the catalyst to loss. Nobody has all the answers in love, and sometimes those answers come from a lot of loss; in life, love, lust and beyond. I started this whole record with Lady Leshurr in mind. I’ve been rocking with her for over 15 years and have only crossed paths musically a small number of times. She came through with her most vulnerable self and delivered exactly what it needed. Her honesty combined with the artistry she exudes. I’m honoured she’s still by my side; I love her.”
‘Cheaper Than Therapy II’ is set to arrive on October 09 via FLG Records. It serves as the spiritual follow-up to 2021’s ‘Cheaper Than Therapy’.
Here’s what Bookie had to say about what it represents for him:
“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. ‘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. Bringing through similar guests from Volume 1, CTT2 aims to show that through all life throws at you, whether you’re the maverick, the disruptor or able to bring the people together, doing it on your own terms for the sake of redemption was the therapy we all needed. Welcome to Cheaper Than Therapy II.”
