Mythodical Joe’s latest single, “Hailstorm,” featuring King Klass, dropped on December 27, 2024, and it’s a been a true storm of raw lyricism that the game’s been waiting for. In an era where style often outweighs substance, “Hailstorm” serves as a bold reminder of what real hip-hop sounds like—powerful bars, intricate rhyme schemes, and a timeless message. This track is more than just music; it’s a statement, a testament to the roots of the genre, and a call to get back to the essence of what hip-hop was meant to be.
Joe, who’s proudly carrying the banner of old-school hip-hop in today’s modern climate, explains his approach to the game: “I’m considered old school in this new era of hip-hop.” And that’s exactly what “Hailstorm” embodies: a throwback to the golden days of hip-hop with a contemporary edge, mixing hard-hitting verses with a sense of nostalgia for when lyricism and storytelling took center stage.
On “Hailstorm,” Mythodical Joe and King Klass come together to create something that feels like a bridge between two worlds—the classic sound of hip-hop’s golden era and the hunger of today’s scene. The track pulses with energy, yet it’s deeply rooted in the past, evoking the power of legends like Nas, LL Cool J, and DMX. Each verse from Joe and Klass hits with precision, demonstrating why lyricism is at the heart of what makes hip-hop more than just music—it’s a reflection of life’s struggles, triumphs, and deeper truths.
King Klass, who’s no stranger to spitting bars that make listeners think, is in rare form on this track. His contribution serves as both a reminder and a prophecy: “The game is making a shift back to a time when lyrics were important as well. Being able to really listen and appreciate an artist who’s talented with their words—that’s what hip-hop used to be about,” he says. Klass, who comes from the old school era, believes hip-hop has no limits when it comes to talent, dreams, or greatness. His message is clear: “Mythodical Joe and myself, we are going to keep pushing the culture forward so it stays alive long after we are gone.”
“Hailstorm” is more than just a track—it’s a declaration that real artistry, rooted in authenticity and lyricism, is here to stay. For Joe, it’s about telling his story and connecting with listeners on a real level. “My music is about hope, joy, pain, and success,” he shares, and “Hailstorm” perfectly exemplifies this. The track explores themes of personal growth, survival, and resilience, while the lyrics resonate deeply with anyone who’s faced adversity.
Looking toward the future, Joe is only just getting started. “Hailstorm” is the first single off his upcoming EP The Collective, set for release in March 2025. The EP, which features collaborations with six different artists from across the U.S., will serve as a powerful testament to Joe’s vision of creating lasting impact through his art. “My goal is to help people get through the daily drama or uplift them through whatever they’re going through,” he says. It’s clear that for Joe, music is more than just entertainment—it’s a way to shape lives and push the culture forward.
With The Collective, “Hailstorm” is the first of many powerful releases to come, and it’s clear that Mythodical Joe is shaping something much bigger than a few songs. Stay tuned as he prepares to elevate the game and continue proving that real hip-hop is alive and thriving.
