Kid Bookie has released H.A.T.E, the fourth single from his upcoming album.
Following Prettier, the Corey Taylor collaboration BLAME, and Rose McGowan featuring Rose McGowan herself, the track fuses sharp lyrics, heavy riffs and dark, atmospheric textures while bringing back the trap-metal energy that first put the South East London artist on the map. He said:
"H.A.T.E is an anthem for those who just sometimes just need to say ‘fuck it’. I wanted to make a song that was a nod back to what people know me for but also the intensity of where I lie within heavy music. I’ve been called all types of genre’s and names since I came in this game and for once, I feel like consciously honouring those titles, this is heavy rap at its finest, trap metal at its ugliest with the lyricism of what has got me recognised by some of the greatest rappers to spit a bar."
The fiery track is the latest preview of 'Cheaper Than Therapy II', due out on October 9 via FLG Records. Produced with longtime collaborator Ziey Kizzy, with additional production from Sid Wilson of Slipknot and Grammy nominee Romesh Dodangoda, the album is described as one of Bookie's most personal to date and also features contributions from Lady Leshurr, Shona McGarty, Kate Nash and the aforementioned Kizzy.

Kid Bookie currently has just one live date in the diary, an intimate show and signing event at Rough Trade East in London on October 10.
