06 - King Of The Dead

À propos

“King Of The Dead” is another one of those grim declarations from X, reminding the world that he’s fully aware of his situation and doesn’t need help from anyone. By calling himself the “king of the dead,” X reveals how he sees himself—just as in other tracks where he compares himself to the devil or outright claims to be the devil. The distorted beat mirrors this too, reflecting the chaos in X’s life; from love and family struggles to ongoing legal issues. The track title is a nod to The Weeknd’s 2014 track “King Of The Fall”. X has often shown his appreciation for Abel’s music in the form of tweets.
