Happy birthday, Will Brennan! To celebrate, the South Florida emcee brings us the summer sequel of his successful “RNR” single, an affecting hip-hop jam. Songstress Jenny Reynolds undoubtedly makes this track a bit more sensual than its predecessor, and her light vocals are a complimentary match for Brennan’s hard-hitting flow. EthniKids provide Brennan and Reynolds with a filtered backdrop, incorporating hints of melodic trap music without fully giving in to the played out subculture, ultimately giving “RNR 2.0” a more universal appeal. “RNR 2.0” is a progressive sequel, starting out light and sensual with a few Brennan-Reynolds’ vocal duets before the EthniKids’ party-ready breakdown at 2:40: Reynolds’ samples matched with an assortment of claps, rolling hi-hats and thumping drums (a nice nod to the elements that we love about Rihanna’s “Pour It Up”). Listen below, and add this to your summer playlist.
