EXCLUSIVE: Hazleton rapper Nate Williams streams new track ‘God Bless the Dead’ (feat. Chris Fields)
Hazleton hip-hop artist Nate Williams has been rapping since 2013 after “the loss of a close friend, and a promise to said friend,” prompted him to starting recording his material.
Originally from Lake Ariel, Williams releases all his own music, recording his latest track, “God Bless the Dead,” at Royal Bloodlines Productions. It only took about 45 minutes for him to lay down the verse, with ad-libs and layers included.
“This is an extremely personal song for me,” Williams told NEPA Scene. “It’s essentially a letter to my girlfriend, who died of a drug overdose and the choices she made – how I miss her, but still disappointed.”
Chris Fields, who is featured on the second verse, is speaking about his friend and NEPA hip-hop legend DJ Mo. Fields also produced the beat for the song.
Williams just released another single, “Get Busy,” with his friend Blade under the group name Die-Polar, which is also streaming below:
Williams and Blade are releasing a mixtape together called “Super Entendre,” and Williams’ solo project, “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die,” will be released shortly thereafter.
