As fans look forward to the release of Russ‘ album, W!LD with a tour in place and everything, Russ has made sure he feeds them the right way. Cue: ‘Pent Up In A Penthouse.’
The track is yet another display of the Atlanta artist’s rapping prowess and fierce competitive spirit. While at its core, it is the kind of brag rap you’d expect of an artist as independent as Russ, it is also a reflection of the rapper’s mental state, which is under pressure.
Dissecting these dilemmas over energetic but spacious beats, Russ speaks on how even the perfect opportunities feel like the perfect set up. “When’s it gonna end,” he asks as he navigates fear of success and fear of failure.
In fact, he seems to be motivated by fear as much he is motivated by his tried and tested penmanship and his status now as a ‘vet.’ This might be the perfect time to listen to the track if you’re someone who is highly motivated to achieve something right now, and thus on Mamba time.
The track is now officially released as part of a 3 track waterfall release, with ‘Movin‘ and ‘April 7‘ accompanying the digital release. Stream the track below!
