Hieroglyphics MC Tajai and super producer The Architect have linked for a new single called “Zero Sum Game.” It marks the inaugural single from the duo’s forthcoming BLACK/TEC album, which will arrive sometime this month via 2020 Clear Label Media Group.

Along with the release, they’ve also dropped a black-and-white visual — shot by fellow Hiero member Casual — for the song featuring a masked Tajai eating a banana as he spits his self-described “bedraggled gunslinger braggadocio.”

“The video is like an Old West meets the ‘Rona apocalypse mashup,” Tajai tells HipHopDX. “Last seen at the ponderosa, our (anti-) hero reminisces on the challenges of villainy in these crazy times.”
