Bandmanrill has been on the radar of hip-hop enthusiasts for a while now, especially after being named a Stereogum Artist To Watch in 2022. Long before it became trendy for rappers to infuse their music with Jersey club elements, Bandmanrill was already pushing the boundaries, blending rap with the frenetic energy of Jersey club in a way that few others could match. His ability to do this with unparalleled intensity has set him apart from the crowd, and his latest release only reinforces that reputation.
Last year, Bandmanrill made waves with Jiggy In Jersey, a collaborative album with Sha Ek and producer MCVERTT. The project showcased his unique style and was followed by the Shots EP, a collaboration with Tay Spades. He also dropped a few stand-alone singles, including the hard-hitting “Antisocial.” But today, Bandmanrill is back with a new track that’s destined to get pulses racing.
The new single, “Rock,” is a masterclass in controlled chaos. Produced by Rj Pasin, the track features a frantic club beat built around a chopped-up guitar riff sample, which may well be the inspiration for its title. Clocking in at just under a minute and a half, “Rock” is a dizzying, anarchic burst of energy that encapsulates everything that makes Bandmanrill such a compelling artist. The brevity of the track only adds to its impact, delivering a jolt of adrenaline that leaves you wanting more.
The Todd Uno-directed video for “Rock” complements the song’s raw energy, adding a visual layer to the chaotic soundscape Bandmanrill creates. It’s a perfect match for a track that feels like it’s barely contained, ready to explode at any moment.
With “Rock,” Bandmanrill continues to prove that he’s a trailblazer in the Jersey club rap scene, pushing boundaries and delivering music that demands attention. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering his work, this track is sure to get your heart racing and leave you eager for what he would do next.
