“King King” opens with MC Lyte’s signature lyrical prowess, delivering verses that celebrate the journey of men. With lines like “I see you here doing your thing king.” MC Lyte praises the dedication and commitment of men who have overcome challenges to embrace love and responsibility.
In the chorus, MC Lyte and Queen Latifah harmoniously chant, “It’s your crown, hold it / Even if the world falls down, show it,” emphasizing resilience and the importance of self-confidence in the face of adversity.
MC Lyte shares her inspiration behind the single, stating, “There has never been an anthem like this that celebrated men who are committed to their families. It’s about time we recognize them as Kings who deserve praise for their guidance and protection.” Teaming up with Queen Latifah adds another layer of strength and unity to this impactful summer anthem.
