St. Louis artist REACEYUNG has quickly gained chart-topping recognition and received cosigns that position him as the next major talent from the region, following in the footsteps of Huey and Metro Boomin. His latest single “Riverfront Times,” accompanied by a music video directed by Remrod, further solidifies his undeniable star quality. In this visual, REACEYUNG reflects on significant life moments while exploring the city’s iconic landmarks against a backdrop of vintage vibes.
“Riverfront Times” is an authentic track that showcases the artist’s unique style, honest lyrics, and personal experiences. According to the press release for the video, the artist expresses that creating “Riverfront Times” was a seamless process since it was based on pure memories.
“Riverfront Times” is featured on the artist’s most recent album, Heart of Lou, which was released in October 2021. With a total of 17 tracks, this album is the artist’s fourth release and includes notable songs like “Good Times” and “Yung Thanos.” Heart of Lou holds significant meaning for REACEYUNG as it garnered multiple Billboard accolades. In his own words:
Creating my album, ‘Heart Of Lou,’ was a truly remarkable experience. It served as my debut mixtape, a project I decided to revitalize after achieving success on the Billboard charts twice. With ‘Heart Of Lou,’ I aimed to authentically represent myself through my initial body of work.
REACEYUNG entered the scene in 2011 with the captivating first volume of The Cassette Tape series. However, it was his collaboration with top-tier producers and engineers on Heart of Lou that truly shaped his distinctive sound. This album stands as his most impressive work to date.
He added, “I had an incredible experience working on it alongside talented producers, mix engineers, mastering engineers, and recording engineers. The energy that flowed while creating this masterpiece was truly remarkable.”
In 2022, as his latest album, available now on all DSPS, continues to capture mainstream attention, REACEYUNG is currently in album mode, creating the highly-anticipated follow-up — currently untitled. Receiving endorsements from renowned figures such as MixedbyAli, Kendrick Lamar’s longtime engineer, and Ali from the St. Lunatics, a successful platinum-selling artist from St. Louis, REACEYUNG’s upcoming project is poised to be his breakthrough into the mainstream music scene. This achievement will elevate him from the local scene to the upper echelons of hip-hop.
“Riverfront Times” serves as an ideal starting point for new fans to join the artist’s journey. REACEYUNG’s upcoming album is set to release in late 2022 under his own label.
