Track of the week. Rising UK-based singer and rapper Rio Rainz continues to impress with the release of his new single, ‘favourite girl’.
With it’s sleek yet understated blend of jazz and rap, the song offers listeners a melodic sound that is dreamy and mesmerising in character, while also presenting a future-forward approach to British hip hop.
Rio’s momentum has grown considerably over the past year. Currently commanding more than 20k monthly listeners on Spotify, this emerging talent has also received critical acclaim from the likes BBC Radio 1, Complex, Clash and The Line of Best Fit.
Rio performs at this year’s Great Escape in Brighton – more details can be found here.
