On “GOONIES,” CLBRKS and Kiina boast with a self-assured candor. Featuring rappers RENELLE893 and 1JACK, the track is a sunny highlight from the London rapper/producer duo’s newest album, HABITS 2 (a sequel to their 2017 project). CLBRKS raps with a playful braggadocio that matches Kiina’s soulful and brass-heavy production. As gentle horns loop throughout, CLBRKS reflects on his music career, giving a nod to his creative influences. RENELLE893 jumps in right after, providing a welcome complement to CLBRKS’ nasally flow with his deep vocals and confident lines (“I hear I’m destined to fail, but I really don’t believe in fate”). The duo reach for something greater than themselves, achieving this end with help from their friends.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
