Hyro the Hero teams up with Corey Taylor of Slipknot for new single
Hyro The Hero is 100% one of the most exciting heavy music artists to emerge in the past couple of years - an artist who came up out of underground hip-hop roots and blended elements of heavy music to create something truly awesome and unique. He's been teaming up with a bunch of people in recent times - and now it's Corey Taylor from Slipknot's turn to collab with Hyro.
Hyro The Hero released a new version of the title track off his KIDS AGAINST THE MONSTERS project with a feature from Slipknot’s Corey Taylor. Hyro has been dropping absolute FIRE on the regular over the past couple of years, and we couldn't be more stoked for Hyro to be dropping tracks and collaborating with massive artists who he is a fan of and who seemingly, are fans of his work as well. It's so damn wholesome and we are here for it. We've been fans since Bullet - an absolute SLAP of a track.
This release is the culmination of a series of singles featuring high-profile fellow artists that Hyro The Hero has dropped over the past year. The project originated as a mixtape, inspired from his Houston underground hip-hop roots.The new track was recorded remotely during lockdown in 2020, after Ben Bruce of Asking Alexandria, a mentor to Hyro, reached out to Taylor. The answer was an immediate yes. Late last year, fans got an early listen to the track when it appeared in episode eight of Apple TV+’s basketball drama series Swagger, executive produced by Kevin Durant and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Reggie Rock Bythewood.

Hyro spoke of working with the Slipknot frontman - "Working with Corey Taylor was absolutely incredible. When I first heard him sing the words of the chorus we created, I got chills. Kids Against The Monsters is about the problems we deal with from generation to generation. This generation is trying to find peace and fix past mistakes. When you press play and listen to my music, I want you to feel the positivity and love."
Corey Taylor spoke highly of the track and Hyro, saying that, “It’s always nice to collaborate with up-and-coming talent, especially when you’re a genuine fan. I was stoked to hop on this song with Hyro The Hero. He embodies what a true artist is meant to do: make you feel something. This song is a great reminder that we’re stronger together when facing our demons.”
The Kids Against The Monsters mixtape includes previously released tracks such as the incendiary "FU2 (Feat. AJ Channer of Fire From The Gods)," “We Believe (feat. David Draiman of Distubed,)” and “Fight (feat. Chad Gray of Hellyeah)”.
