Hyro the Hero + Ice Nine Kills’ Spencer Charnas Rock New Banger ‘Retaliation Generation’

Brace yourself! Hyro the Hero has dropped a new banger with a little help from Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills. The song is titled "Retaliation Generation" and you can hear the in-your-face rocker in the player below.

"'Retaliation Generation' is a great song that represents the style of music I have come to be known for," Hyro shares. "Having Spencer sing the hook and Matt Good on production blasted this track into 'anthem' territory."

He adds, "I think this song captures the emotion of what this generation feels in this crazy time we are living in. It's full on attack mode right from the beginning it’s such a great feeling when an artist like Spencer helps take a song like this to the next level. I want anybody who listens to this song to be a voice. Stand up for what you believe in."

"All I kept hearing from my people is how sick Hyro the Hero is, so I checked him out at The Viper Room, and it reminded me of the first time I saw Rage Against the Machine," Charnas recalls. "It was just off-the-chain, unbridled energy and I knew I wanted to be a part of it, and was lucky enough to be asked."

The singer continues, "I think with everything going on in the last several years, our generation is holding people accountable. It's a movement in terms of a 'You ain't getting away with this shit anymore.' It's a battle cry." He continues, "I think it's got such a cool overall message of not letting trials and tribulations of the world get you down. I think people can be their own worst enemy, and this is a song of empowerment. You can fight for what you believe in. It’s up to you to put up or shut up."

We are the youth
We are intelligence
We are the truth
We are the future
We are resistance
We cannot lose

What are you waiting for you a
You a sleeping giant
We can change the chorus you can't
You can't keep us quiet
We apply pressure
Overcame aggressors
Overthrew oppressors
No, you can't suppress us

Our time is now
Speak it to existence
We run from nothing
We the resistance

We are the, we are the anonymous with no faces
We are the, we are the savages of a nation
We are the, we are the leaders of the invasion
Retaliation generation

"All that hating maynnneee"
They despise us cause we defiant
This alliance gone start a riot
This alliance cannot be quiet
This alliance can't be divided

We so combative
They don't like to be challenged
We so massive
You don't want no static
When we pull together
They don't like the temperature
No you can't suppress us
We surrender never

Our time is now
Speak it to existence
We run from nothing
We are resistance

We are the, we are the anonymous with no faces
We are the, we are the savages of a nation
We are the, we are the leaders of the invasion
Retaliation generation

We're breaking down these walls
Fists in the air as we watch them fall
Our time is now no time to waste
How you gonna run when there's no escape

Ain't no escape
Runaway runaway
Ain't no escape
Runaway runaway

Devour these cowards
It's time for our power
They ducking for cover
They run and they scour
Shivering, naked and cold
Cause they been exposed
How does it feel to be dethroned

We are the, we are the anonymous with no faces
We are the, we are the savages of a nation
We are the, we are the leaders of the invasion
Retaliation generation

We're breaking down these walls
Fists in the air as we watch them fall
Our time is now no time to waste
How you gonna run when there's no escape
