About this song

"Blood of the Fang" is the third single released from clipping.'s fourth album, There Existed an Addiction to Blood. The track plays with the short-lived Horrorcore genre of hip-hop and features gospel and soul elements similar to the group's previous album, Splendor and Misery. Its main vocal sample is taken from the album's title.

What it's about

Within the album's theme of bloodlust and violence, Diggs addresses the violent history of racism and argues that defeating it requires fighting rather than only discussing it. The song casts black civil rights leaders and activists as dangerous undead vampires whose deaths were only temporary and who have returned seeking blood.
