King Ru x O.G Unveil New Single ‘Mad Matrix’ from Upcoming LP ‘Riddim n Rhyme’
Following 2024’s 11-track Echoes LP and their 2025 single S.P.L.A.S.H, King Ru and O.G return with Mad Matrix, the second single from their forthcoming collaborative album Riddim n Rhyme, due September 2026.
Released via Grenell’s independent label Central Records, Mad Matrix arrives alongside a guerrilla-style music video, dropping simultaneously Fri 10 April. Built on a sub-heavy, rhythm-driven dancehall beat, the track provides a powerful platform for King Ru’s lyrical commentary on systemic pressure, mental conditioning, and the challenge of staying aligned with personal truth in a demanding world.
Blending message with energy, Mad Matrix reinforces the duo’s commitment to creating music with purpose – pushing back against conformity while championing authenticity and creative freedom.
The accompanying video, shot in Melbourne and featuring some of the city’s standout graffiti artists, reflects the raw, DIY aesthetic that defines the pair’s visual output.
To support the release, an Australian east coast tour is currently in development, with dates across major cities and summer festival appearances to be announced. The project has already generated early momentum, following a preview DJ mix by Grenell on Melbourne’s PBS Radio in March.
Grenell can be seen and heard every Friday during his hour of Visual Radio, streaming live on Twitch with collaborator Max Shotta as part of Friday Night LETOFF, from 5–6 PM PST / 7–8 PM NZT.
