Bandmanrill Releases Club-ready New Single and Video “Rock”
Newark hip-hop and Jersey club phenom Bandmanrill unleashes the irresistible new single “Rock.” Listen HERE via Warner Records.
Aggressive, minimalist, and audacious, the club-ready anthem showcases the up-and-comer’s immense talent while also hinting at drill’s enormous appeal with artists like Bandman pushing the culture forward. The banger is accompanied by a suitably explosive video. Watch it HERE.
That electricity is reflected in the Todd Uno-directed video, which finds the rising hitmaker and his crew zipping around the streets in an array of sports cars. They also indulge in a little nighttime drifting and bring the party wherever they go.
“Rock” follows Shots, his collaborative EP with Tay Spades, and loosies like “GET RIGHT!” and “KEEP UP.” They were preceded by singles like “Jiggy in Jersey, Pt 3” with Sha Ek and featuring MCVERTT, “Ball Out,” and “Mr. D.C.T., Pt 2” with Maiya The Don. Prior to that, he dropped the 3-track EP, President Obandman, which was preceded by his acclaimed debut mixtape, Club Godfather. Each release exemplifies a tighter, more pointed sound that speaks to his roots and his aspirations.
For fans of Bandman, this evolution is far from a surprise, considering his meticulous choices and work ethic. Fusing drill music, its Jersey club sounds exclusive to his home state, with rap nods to hip-hop’s wild house-party beginnings, where it was all about keeping the energy high. Needless to say, Bandman has become a bona fide master at this. Now, with “Rock,” he unleashes a track that drips with confidence and crossover appeal.
ABOUT BANDMANRILL:
Despite his short time in the spotlight, Bandmanrill revolutionized hip-hop by rhyming dexterously over the club music from his native New Jersey. Yet even if the 20-year-old doesn’t sport the years of experience some of his friends and collaborators can claim, dance is something of a birthright to those who grew up immersed in the scene. That universality is evidenced by the way Bandman was able to almost immediately connect with a huge audience before being backed by any label. He uploaded his breakthrough hit, “Heartbroken,” in the spring of 2021, the Jersey native was discovered by hometown entrepreneurs from his beloved Newark, NJ by Dawan “DB” Brown and Saad Amin who welcomed him to their combined label imprints 100% Pure and 1865 Black Flag Entertainment. The tandem forged a partnership with the legendary record executive “Steve-O” Carless and his Defiant Records imprint, Bandman is poised to break his disruptive style even wider. In the two years since “Heartbroken”—which introduced Bandman to a national audience and cemented a relationship with Mcvertt, his go-to producer—the artist has become something of a phenomenon. His debut album, November 2022’s Club Godfather, showcased his versatility, proving that being nimble and forceful is not a contradiction—it’s simply the mark of an expert MC. As he turns his attention to the future, it’s difficult to imagine a version of rap in the 2020s without Bandman close to its center.
