New music from V of 40M

Coming from North Carolina, V of 40M is a visionary figure in the hip hop sphere, revered for his role as the spearhead of the groundbreaking “Revolutionary Rap” movement. Alongside his sonic endeavour, V of 40M is leading the charge for the Black Independence people’s movement, Forty Million Strong (40M).

This movement, led by V, seeks to establish sovereign land and autonomous rule for Black communities. The integration of this powerful social mission into V’s music adds a truly impactful experience for listeners.

From the debut release “No Church on Sunday” three years ago to his 2023 single “Martin Luther,” V has consistently inspired, informed and motivated with his sonic output. Winning over fans around the world, his releases and music videos have struck a chord with audiences and firmly placed him on the map of must-watch artists in the modern hip hop world.

Now he brings us his latest release with support from XLM+, the brand new single titled “The Score.” This time linking up with artists 40M Tye and Hippie G, V filters inspiration from The Fugees through his cutting edge alternative hip hop sound to deliver an energising and empowering sound.

Produced by LABACK, the track stitches together punching beats, slick electronic tones and bright instrumental flutters to create a highly original sonic fabric that sees V deliver an epic collaboration on his thrilling musical adventure. Building anticipation with the lively dance of harpsichord style tones, V commanding vocals enter before the crunching beat brings in the song’s full sound.

Thumping bass lines and driving rhythm underpin V’s slick vocals before the the lightly processed guest vocals thread smooth melodies. Dropping the beat out to inject dynamic flow, the chorus bursts with punchy energy and instantly memorable vocal hooks, resulting in an epic new release from an artist who continues to impress with each move.
