Hus KingPin & MK Ortiz "Flying King" [SINGLE]

"Flying King" is not the first time Hus KingPin and MK Ortiz have shared a record this year. Earlier in 2026 Ortiz produced "You Heard Of Me" for the Brooklyn born rapper, a track that also came with a video, and the new single continues that pairing. MK Ortiz is a hip hop producer based in Granada, Spain. His own site describes his work as nostalgic and cinematic, built on minimalist raw loops, and as a bridge between the European and American underground. His earlier release was Ask God for Help, a 2025 collaboration with Asun Eastwood, which a reviewer at the time was hearing from him for the first time. Hus KingPin brings a much longer history. He spent his high school years in Hempstead, Long Island, where he formed Tha Connection with SmooVth, a duo that circulated music through the rap blog network between 2006 and 2010 before both built individual catalogues and The Winners collective. In 2021 he released Portishus, a project inspired by Portishead and trip hop, and he has described that record as a move toward a direction of his own in an underground scene he felt was becoming predictable. "Flying King" is a single of one track running about two minutes, billed to Hus KingPin and MK Ortiz together and released with The Winners, the collective Hus has helped run for years. It puts a New York rapper with more than a decade of releases next to a producer from southern Spain whose catalogue is still small, and the earlier "You Heard Of Me" shows that the two had already found a way to work together.
