JRTA, hailing from Columbia, United States, is a rising artist making waves with their unique sound. With influences ranging from Trap to Cloud Hop, JRTA takes a fresh approach to music production. His original single, “Stealin Me,” released on November 7th, 2024, showcases JRTA’s individuality and creativity. In a time where technology dominates our lives, JRTA’s music speaks on the dangers of the digital world, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with audiences worldwide.
“Stealin Me” looks into the way technology can pull us in, sometimes too much. The song tells a story about being drawn into the digital world and losing control, something many of us can relate to. JRTA got the idea from a personal experience, including dealing with hackers and watching others struggle with online threats.
“Certain threat actors attempted to take over my Google account at one point and other people I know were recently the targets of hackers. The song is about being seduced into dependency on technology which is becoming increasingly dangerous” he explains.
“Stealin Me” is a defining piece in what JRTA terms as Cloud Hop, a nascent genre that fuses Hip Hop, Trap, Pop, Electronica, and R&B.
The genre’s name reflects its airy, experimental quality, characterized by intricate kick placements and atmospheric soundscapes.
According to JRTA, “Stealin Me” builds on the legacy of the previous single, “One More Toke,” which introduced listeners to this groundbreaking musical style.
The significance of “Stealin Me” extends beyond its innovative sound. By tackling themes like cyber dependency and digital vulnerability, JRTA is shedding light on issues that resonate deeply in today’s tech-saturated world. The track serves as a mirror, urging listeners to reflect on their relationship with technology and the consequences of surrendering too much control to digital systems.
JRTA recorded this track in his apartment all on his own making him the mastermind behind this song.
This track is not just a single. It’s the first of four songs JRTA is creating, each one focusing on a different side of how technology shapes our world. Future songs will explore topics like human-machine connections, online relationships, and what our tech-filled future might look like.
