"Thou Shalt Always Kill" was the first single from Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, out on Lex Records in April 2007, first as a download and then on 7-inch vinyl, and it also turns up on their album Angles. Dan le Sac built the electronic dance beat and produced it; Scroobius Pip wrote the words and delivers them as a rant against assorted pieces of modern British culture, with YILA recording and mixing.
The sermon boils down to thinking for yourself instead of chasing trends and swallowing hype, and the title isn't a threat: the pair say it uses "kill" the hip-hop way, as in doing something brilliantly. NME made it track of the week that April, even though the song tells its listeners not to read NME. It came back in 2009 with added vocals from Pos Plug Won of De La Soul.
