Body Bag Ben is back on his bully-rap sh*t with “Hiroshima,” taken from his Vulgar Display (Episode 2) LP set to drop June 3rd. The track is yet another reminder that Body Bag Ben is one of the coldest out right now, as he spits bars with reckless abandon over the self-produced track. Body Bag Ben is on an absolute tear since 2020 with solo releases and collaborative projects, and it’s looking like he’s not about to slow down…it’s up to y’all to catch up. Doomsday vibes courtesy of Meta Megatron.
