On August 21, Bane Capital released their latest single, ‘GOOD PAYOUT,’ with lyrics by long-time collaborator, AKAI SOLO. The Toronto-based production duo are no stranger to the rawness and authenticity of AKAI’s pen. The same expression can be said in regard to the Brooklyn-bred rapper’s familiarity with Bane Capital’s surreal and atmospheric approach to boom-bap. All that to say this new collaborative single does not disappoint.

‘GOOD PAYOUT’ arrives just a few months ahead of Bane Capital’s forthcoming album “Terminal 2,” providing fans with a preview of what to expect from the project as a whole. It’s one of many tracks showcasing Bane Capital’s growth as producers alongside MCs (AKAI SOLO, ANKHLEJOHN, Papo2oo4, and Ghostface Killah) continuing to raise the bar, paving new paths, and evolving the art form that is rap.

Overall, this single from Bane Capital and AKAI SOLO is evidence that hip-hop purists and lyrical analysts alike will be eating well this upcoming Fall/Winter season. Without having to go down the list of all the things done right with ‘GOOD PAYOUT,’ we know that this track oozes hip hop. All parties involved are sharpening their tools and building their artillery; and it’s especially demonstrated here in ‘GOOD PAYOUT.’ Bane Capital’s care and treatment of the soul sample acts as a spoonful of sugar in contrast to AKAI SOLO’s hard and dry pill for words. The beat and ballad belong together. For every point AKAI wants to drive into your head, there’s a punchy drum and a short release on the sample.

‘GOOD PAYOUT‘ by Bane Capital and AKAI SOLO is available on all streaming platforms. Visit Bane Capital’s website to pre-order their upcoming album “Terminal 2” set to release on November 20.
