DJ Rude One (Ft. SHIRT) • "1,000 Dutches"

Chicago veteran DJ Rude One is back with a fresh track off his upcoming Closed Sessions collaboration. "1,000 Dutches" is the third single off ONEderful, a project that features a few of his favorite MCs Your Old Droog, Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, J-Zone and more. Needless to say, there's no shortage of BARS on this project.

"1,000 Dutches" features SHIRT, a MC from Queens with an increasing amount of clout and respect in the hip hop community and especially in New York. In a recent BIllboard interview, Rude One explains, "After hearing his Rap project and playing several of his records at parties I DJ’d, [SHIRT] immediately came to mind when I made the short list of MCs I wanted to work with on ONEderful. I love ‘1,000 Dutches.’ It's probably my favorite beat on the album and it was the only one I sent to SHIRT."

Be sure to look out for ONEderful, which is set to be released on Oct. 28 through Closed Sessions.
