Louder Than The Music

A pillar of the upcoming ‘Judas’ album, Judas Kiss is the latest single from producer Ayo Shamir, available June 21, 2024, on digital streaming platforms.



“I used the analogy of ‘Paid in Full,’ the movie based off real life, where Rich Porter got set up and killed by someone he was cool with. It’s a sad story. When I made the record, I wanted people to be able to understand the human side of Jesus and Judas. They were friends and bros, they broke bread together.” - Ayo Shamir

Highlighting the ultimate betrayal, when Judas set up Jesus, Judas Kiss features YP aka Young Paul, Will Cata, and Prodi Da Prodigal. YP and Cata paint beautiful, vivid pictures on their respective verses while Prodi sets the record off with a hook crafted around his testimony.

Following the singles “Grudges” and “Let It Go,” Judas Kiss continues the story that culminates with Shamir’s new project.

After the success of 2023’s ‘Ninety Nine,’ Shamir has earned the reputation of being a producer helping keep the essence of hip-hop alive while presenting a raw and relatable Gospel message woven through each gritty beat he creates.
