A grimy Halloween street anthem that captures the scars and stories that shape survival.

Raw bars, lyrical precision, and street wisdom collide over a menacing Boom Bap instrumental produced by Amadeus360 on Ras Kass‘s new single ‘Scar Tissue’. Released on all major digital streaming platforms via HillTop Ave/Soulspazm, the song finds Treach of Naughty By Nature and Wais P of Roc-A-Fella fame joining the veteran West Coast lyricist to offer their perspective on pain, survival, identity, and the scars we carry that also define us. It’s a fierce tribute to resilience grimy and empowering all at once. The accompanying Mo Stafford-directed visuals, bridge gritty reality and cinematic metaphor — wounded but walking forward; scarred but unbowed. Filmed in the heart of New Jersey, the song music video features cameos by Ralph McDaniels, founder and curator of the Video Music Box, Greg Nice of Nice & Smooth, King Sun among others. ‘Scar Tissue’ is from Ras Kass‘s forthcoming 2026 album Leopard Eats Face.

‘In life, you experience a lot, but things eventually heal and leave scars’ – Ras Kass
