Wiki kicks off “Eggs,” his second single of 2019 after "Cheat Code," comparing himself to Julius Caesar in the best and worst ways. "Young Caesar, the crowd-pleaser, the town leader," he before bringing venomous bars for traitors: "When the town needed most you assassinate my character with all the shit that you say / Et tu, Brutus?" The New York City rapper is in touch with the everyday issue of (non-literal) backstabbers, but his looney and grime-streaked rap persona is as singular is it was in the Ratking days. Producing the vintage beat is the maestro Madlib, who comes off a successful year producing Bandana for Freddie Gibbs. Listen to "Eggs" below.
