继 Haysen 郑景曦全新专辑的两支先行曲（《风继续吹》《泪雨夜》）获得广泛关注后，其备受瞩目的第三支先行曲《黑八》终于释出。歌名灵感源于桌球比赛中决定胜负的最后一颗「黑色八号」球，承载如此厚望的《黑八》毫无疑问地成为了Haysen全新个人专辑的制胜王牌。而此次与中文说唱传奇人物万妮达 Vinida 的合作，亦标志着Haysen晋升香港新生代歌手中，成功赢得华语嘻哈市场一席之地的新星之一。 歌曲编曲融合上世纪90年代香港警匪片的经典氛围，呼应「黑八」在香港街头文化中「恩怨必报」的韧劲。采样和鼓点的设计由 IRIS 厂牌制作总监及知名英国制作人HARIKIRI亲自操刀，伴奏中极具冲击力的节奏激活了巨大的能量空间，让Haysen能够通过说唱讲述他从无到有的音乐故事——也正是这股「上不封顶」的激昂和冲劲儿，在2021年打动了HARIKIRI，使其邀请Haysen从香港来到成都，开启了为期三年的创作历练。最终历经无数次打磨，才诞生出这首由IRIS厂牌全员参与的热血之作。 主歌中，Haysen切入他与家人的过往，诉说他在面对竞争对手时的心态成长，同时也不忘时刻展露他在普通话、粤语，和英文三种腔调之间游刃有余的掌控力。副歌配以万妮达抓耳的旋律加持，为歌曲注入一段经典的叙事性说唱，瞬间使听众沉浸在她「场上称霸」的傲人气势当中。 《黑八》的音乐录影带则由成都知名导演 JasAnowilm 执导，首次将 IRIS 厂牌旗下三位核心成员形象一同贯穿于音乐剧情之中。场景选址在陈旧的仓库与停车场，象征三人各自所切身经历且最终打破过的困境。通过这支视觉作品，观众不仅能提前体验到Haysen个人专辑强烈的音乐冲击力，还得以窥见IRIS厂牌在音乐文化融合方面的强势主张与美好愿景。 Following the first two singles, “The Wind Blows On” and “A Night of Raining Tears,” Hong Kong rapper Haysen Cheng has finally dropped the highly anticipated third track, “Black Eight”, prior to his upcoming debut album. The song takes its name from the game-deciding black eight ball in billiards, a fitting metaphor for a track brimming with both anticipation and a raw edge. “Black Eight” undoubtedly stands as the cornerstone of Haysen’s debut album, delivering a definitive statement on his artistry. The collaboration with Chinese rap legend Vinida Weng marks another milestone for Haysen, firmly establishing him as one of Hong Kong’s most sought-after rising stars to successfully break into the Chinese hip-hop scene. The song’s production taps into the gritty energy of 90s Hong Kong crime movies, underscoring the track’s ties to the “eye for an eye” mentality rooted in local street culture. Crafted by IRIS label head and UK hitmaker HARIKIRI, the track features punchy samples and aggressive drum patterns that lay the foundation for Haysen’s passionate storytelling. His lyrics narrate the story of his rise from nothing, a tale fuelled by relentless ambition—a drive that caught the ear of HARIKIRI back in 2021, leading to an invitation for Haysen to move to Chengdu and begin a three-year journey of creative development. After countless sessions and refinement, the collaboration culminated in this high-energy anthem, a debut showcases the collective effort of all IRIS talents. Haysen’s verses dive into his personal history, reflecting on his family’s influence and his shift in mentality when facing rivals, all while flexing his ability to seamlessly flow between Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. Vinida’s ear-catching hook brings a classic element of narrative-driven rap to the track, reminding listeners of her absolute dominance in the Chinese hip-hop scene. The music video for “Black Eight,” directed by Chengdu’s JasAnowilm, marks the first time the three core members of the IRIS label—HARIKIRI, Vinida Weng, and Haysen Cheng—appear together on screen. Shot in dilapidated buildings, the video visualizes the struggles and environments that each artist has had to overcome before their eventual breakthroughs. This bold visual not only teases Haysen’s impending debut album but also signals IRIS’s strong vision to keep pushing boundries in diverse musical cultures. 监制 Producer: 郑景曦 Haysen Cheng, HARIKIRI 作词 Lyrics: 郑景曦 Haysen Cheng, 万妮达 Vinida Weng 作曲 Composer: 郑景曦 Haysen Cheng, 万妮达 Vinida Weng, HARIKIRI, Brandon Harris 编曲 Arrangement: HARIKIRI, Brandon Harris
