July 28, 2026 – If Kid Bookie’s latest run of singles has proven anything, it’s that he’s refusing to be boxed into a single genre. The South East London artist continues to blur the lines between rap, rock, and metal with the release of his explosive new single, “H.A.T.E.” The track serves as the latest preview of his forthcoming album, Cheaper Than Therapy II, arriving October 9 via FLG Records.
Following the emotional vulnerability of “Prettier,” the high-profile collaboration “BLAME” featuring Corey Taylor, and the thought-provoking “Rose McGowan,” Bookie takes a much darker, more aggressive turn. “H.A.T.E.” is a relentless burst of trap metal energy, packed with crushing guitar riffs, hard-hitting beats, eerie textures, and rapid-fire lyricism that refuses to let up.
The song feels like a return to the raw, chaotic sound that first put Kid Bookie on the map, while still showcasing how much he’s evolved as both a songwriter and performer. It’s loud, confrontational, and unapologetically honest—a track built to let listeners unleash every ounce of frustration they’ve been holding onto.
Speaking about the single, Bookie describes “H.A.T.E.” as an outlet for those moments when everything becomes too much.
“‘H.A.T.E.’ is an anthem for those who just sometimes 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… This is heavy rap at its finest, trap metal at its ugliest.”
For more than a decade, Kid Bookie has forged his own lane by fusing the grit of UK rap with the aggression of alternative and heavy music. That fearless approach has earned him recognition from BBC Radio 1Xtra, a MOBO Award nomination, and collaborations with some of the biggest names in heavy music. With Cheaper Than Therapy II on the horizon, “H.A.T.E.” makes one thing clear: Kid Bookie isn’t revisiting the past—he’s amplifying everything that has made him one of the most unpredictable voices in modern alternative music.
