Kid Bookie, a rapper from South-East London, has released a new single titled 'Blame' featuring Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor. The track explores themes of accountability, growth, and self-reflection, with Bookie describing it as almost a therapy session. It previews an upcoming album set for announcement later in 2026.
Kid Bookie has collaborated with Corey Taylor on the single 'Blame', following his earlier team-up with Rose McGowan on the track 'Rose McGowan' this year. The new song pushes boundaries, with Bookie delivering rap vocals on frustration and regret, joined by Taylor's chorus: “Oh my god/It’s like it won’t just stop/You’re always blaming me/For always blaming you”.The pair have history, including singles 'Stuck In My Ways' in 2019 and 'Game' in 2022, plus Bookie's track 'Get Out' with Taylor's son Griffin last year. Bookie reflected on the inspiration: “Over the years, facing myself and the reflection that comes with the mirror isn’t always an easy one. Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions.”He added: “Corey and I have been working with each other for nearly a decade... This song is almost a therapy session for me, and not just via my own lyrics, but to how Corey has made me feel by exposing himself so bare in this record.” Taylor praised Bookie: “Books is one of my favourite people, not just artists... ‘Blame’ was so good the first time I heard it, I signed on without even knowing what I’d do! I’m proud of the song, and I’m proud of him, and grateful to be involved.”The album will embrace vulnerability and intensity, aligning with Bookie's growth themes from the Rose McGowan collaboration, which he linked to resilience and authenticity.
