Two months ago, UK rapper Kid Bookie was listening to Slipknot and thought about how cool it would be to collaborate with Taylor.
So he messaged him on Twitter. Here is the interaction:
SlipKnot – Wait & Bleed is as iconic as Chop Suey.

@CoreyTaylorRock I gotta work with you before both of us leave this earth

Taylor saw the tweets and was totally game. He responded at the time:
Let’s talk my friend. ? https://t.co/PIDig8fi5K

Bookie confirmed music was in the oven a week later:
People of earth and beyond, me and @CoreyTaylorRock have some very VERY special music coming for you soon ?. That is all, have a good day.
S.I.M.W.R ?

Today, almost two months later, we now have the song the two collaborated on. It's a new take on Bookie's track "Stuck In My Ways" and features Taylor rapping at the 2:28 mark. Take a listen:

While it's certainly not Slipknot or Stone Sour, I definitely dig what these two are bringing. Are you feeling Corey Taylor's hip hop collab?
