Newcomer ren.y.c Set to Drop Hip-hip Single ‘Wicky’
By: Nadia Sobehart
Up-and-coming hip-hop artist, ren.y.c is ready to take 2024 by force. Her new single, “Wicky” set for release on January 12, 2024, tackles social issues with a rhythmic punch.
Ren.y.c’s personal style of gritty trap and drill beats—laced with catchy melodies—tells real stories. Her emotional approach is authentic and thought provoking. The artist finds inspiration during everyday events, from riding in the car to working out. Her devotion to God is also reflected in her music and heartfelt stories.
Ren.y.c isn’t afraid to tell you the truth—and make it sound good as she does it. “The beats are hip hop, but the way I go on is a little less so,” tells ren.y.c. “It’s still rap and hip hop but less hardcore.”
Her new single, “Wicky,” was motivated by her passion for raising social awareness. While the song itself has subtle references to school shootings, the video is “more in your face” according to the artist. “I wanted people to listen to the song a lot and spread awareness,” says ren.y.c of her subtle approach to writing “Wicky.” “Yet the more you hear it, the more you think about the message.”
To write “Wicky,” ren.y.c approached songwriting by way of freestyling. “I got the concept during the creation process, but I didn’t know if I’d stick with it. Then I freestyled and liked how it came out. Something happened and the whole second part got erased so I had to redo it. I didn’t go back to the song for a long time, but then one day I went back and did it.” Fortunately for listeners, ren.y.c didn’t let the song disappear into a creative black hole.
“When I was younger, I always loved music, but I never thought that was something I could do,” shares the artist. Ren.y.c didn’t reach a crossroads to decide her fate. Instead, she just decided to go all in one day, and the people in her life were fully supportive.
Coming up with a stage name, however, proved to be more of a challenge than committing to life as a musician. “I was putting off releasing music because I couldn’t think of a name. My friend actually suggested ‘ren.y.c’ during a Group FaceTime. I didn’t decide on it but everyone kept calling me that, so it stuck.”
Up next for the artist is another single, titled “Sick,” due in late winter. Her goal for 2024 is to “keep working every day.” We can’t wait to hear the output of her dedication.
