Bronx, NYC - “Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve. He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police how he could hand him over to them. They were glad and agreed to give him silver. So he accepted the offer and started looking for a good opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not present.” [Luke 22:3-6]
Sometimes a Judas is needed to get to where you need to be.
“I used the analogy of ‘Paid in Full,’ the movie based off real life, where Rich Porter got set up and killed by someone he was cool with. It’s a sad story. When I made the record, I wanted people to be able to understand the human side of Jesus and Judas. They were friends and bros, they broke bread together.” - Ayo Shamir
A pillar of the upcoming ‘Judas’ album, Judas Kiss is the latest single from producer Ayo Shamir, available June 21, 2024, on digital streaming platforms.
Highlighting the ultimate betrayal, when Judas set up Jesus, Judas Kiss features YP aka Young Paul, Will Cata, and Prodi Da Prodigal. YP and Cata paint beautiful, vivid pictures on their respective verses while Prodi sets the record off with a hook crafted around his testimony.
Following the singles “Grudges” and “Let It Go,” Judas Kiss continues the story that culminates with Shamir’s new project.
