An official music video has arrived to complement Kid Bookie and Corey Taylor‘s latest collaborative track together, “BLAME“. That duo have already established a surprisingly prolific history of working together and this latest track once again finds the aforementioned Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman rapping. Speaking last month amid the song’s original debut, Bookie offered:
“Over the years, facing myself and the reflection that comes with the mirror isn’t always an easy one. Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions. I’m around some of the best people who practice that in more ways than one.
Corey and I have been working with each other for nearly a decade, but I feel this record is a coming of age, even for us. New territory, but familiar approach to make sure we embolden each other through music.
This song is almost a therapy session for me, and not just via my own lyrics, but to how Corey has made me feel by exposing himself so bare in this record, truly an honor to keep pushing the envelope with someone who has just pushed it as far as it can go, but has completely revamped what the envelope fu*king is.”
Taylor added:
”Books is one of my favorite people, not just artists, and every time he comes to me with an opportunity to create with him, I’m always excited because I know I’m going to hear something I’ve never heard before. ‘Blame’ was so good the first time I heard it, I signed on without even knowing what I’d do! I’m proud of the song, and I’m proud of him, and grateful to be involved.”
The below video for the song was filmed by Wowa, Dan Virchow and Filip Plaskowski. At this point, Kid Bookie has worked on several songs with Corey. He has also even partnered with Corey‘s son, Griffin Taylor, vocalist of alternative metal outfit Vended.
