Multi-platinum rap rockers Hollywood Undead have premiered their new single “1×1“, which borrows a sample from Slayer‘s definitive track “Raining Blood“. Hollywood Undead collectively stated the following of the Matt Good (Skrillex, The Haunt) produced track.
“This song is about resilience. People are always going to doubt you or try to bring you down, but the point is getting back up every time and reminding them you’re still here, and that you can’t be replaced.”
Of course, sampling Slayer in the world of hip hop and rap is nothing new. Public Enemy infamously looped the riff from the thrash metal legends’ “Angel Of Death” for “She Watch Channel Zero?!” all the way back in 1988.
