YBN Cordae, Anderson .Paak, and J. Cole Are Immersed In Riches On 'RNP'

YBN Cordae, Anderson .Paak, and J. Cole have come with each other for a ping-pong game or rap in their new group effort, “RNP.” J. Cole produces the bouncy instrumental so he remains in back of the veil, nevertheless both YBN Cordae and .Paak make you dart your eyes (and ears) back and forth as they hand each lyric off to other in every verse, building the ultimate display of teamwork. It might be about a dreamy lifestyle of Lamborghini’s and on-demand foot massages, however the real draw here's this level of being in-sync like identical twins that can finish each other’s sentences.


It begins with the bobbling beat, bouncing to and fro. It sounds like “Old Town Road” grew a mustache and its voice deepened while in puberty, with the addition of sharp drums and the removal of whimsical melodies. J. Cole put his foot into this thing, stepping outdoor of his common, soulful production-style range.


This carefree instrumental provides the ideal backdrop for the nostalgic rhymes of YBN Cordae and the constantly grinning flow of .Paak as they list off what they’re happy for like it’s a round table at Thanksgiving. “I’m in Europe with the tourists without cellphone,” he raps, delivering the ultimate flex. Having no phone in 2019 is unheard of. .Paak brings his own set of magnificent bragging lines, with perhaps his best utterance here being “my drip is like a faucet.” You could hear the grin on his face as he rhymes, maybe even a chuckle too.


“RNP” is the third single from YBN Cordae’s forthcoming debut album, The Lost Boy, that is set to drop on July 26. Last month, he “Bad Idea” with Chance The Rapper, with the two appearing in the visual as miniature musicians. Earlier this year, he collaborated with H.E.R. On the money-loving single, “Racks.”
