At a time when much of hip hop avoids uncomfortable conversations, ColdPoison steps forward as an artist willing to confront them head-on. With his latest release, “Sung to Sleep,” the independent rapper delivers a fearless blend of diss rap and conscious hip hop that is as confrontational as it is purposeful, proving once again that his music is driven by conviction, not compromise.
ColdPoison is widely recognized as a vegan rap artist who uses sharp lyricism to challenge how society normalizes animal exploitation and hate-driven ideologies. Rather than preaching, he confronts. Rather than following trends, he builds tension, energy, and meaning through bold storytelling and aggressive delivery. His work consistently calls out anti-vegan thought leaders and influential figures who use their platforms to justify cruelty, misogyny, homophobia, and abuse of power.
“Sung to Sleep” is a prime example of that approach. The track takes direct aim at Rampage Jackson, a former UFC star whose public statements and behavior sparked ColdPoison’s attention after discovering him on YouTube. After conducting extensive research, ColdPoison felt compelled to respond. What emerged is far more than a standard diss track. It is a confrontation against a figure the artist portrays as hateful toward gays, women, vegans, animals, and even his own son, while also serving as a broader indictment of powerful individuals who tyrannize the weak.
Lyrically, the record is intense and uncompromising. ColdPoison unleashes razor-sharp punchlines, fearless accusations, and an aggressive, high-energy flow that leaves no room for misinterpretation. His delivery is commanding and precise, showcasing an artist fully in control of his voice and message. Every verse feels intentional, backed by the confidence of someone unafraid to stand alone if necessary.
Sonically, “Sung to Sleep” is just as deliberate. The production carries a dark, jazzy, cinematic swing, merging old-school hip hop foundations with modern textures. This creates a gritty yet polished soundscape that amplifies the weight of the lyrics. One of the track’s most striking elements is its pro-female hook, built on tight, MJ-style stacked harmonies that add musical depth and contrast to the raw aggression of the verses. The balance between confrontation and musicality highlights ColdPoison’s range as both a writer and a performer.
Designed to resonate on gym and high-energy playlists, the track also appeals strongly to discovery listeners who value provocative lyricism and conscious rap with substance. ColdPoison understands how to make music that fuels adrenaline while still demanding reflection, a balance that many artists attempt but few execute successfully.
At its core, ColdPoison’s artistry is about accountability. He uses diss rap not as a gimmick, but as a form of resistance against cruelty, hypocrisy, and unchecked influence. By standing up for animals, women, marginalized communities, and the voiceless, he positions himself as an artist with integrity and purpose in a landscape often driven by empty spectacle.
With “Sung to Sleep,” ColdPoison delivers one of his most powerful and focused releases to date. The track reinforces his role as a bold, uncompromising voice in conscious hip hop and signals continued growth in both sound and message. This release makes it clear that ColdPoison is not here to blend in. He is here to challenge, confront, and push the culture forward on his own terms.
