Don’t dismiss Remble as a fleeting, flash-in-the-pan artist just because you found out about him in a viral post, though. His witty one-liners lend themselves well to social apps like TikTok, and his purposeful delivery makes him stand out from a sea of similar-sounding rappers. Why wouldn’t he take the time to deliver each word perfectly? When I ask him about his deliberately enunciated sound, he gives me a very straightforward answer: “When you’re recording a song, you’ve got a choice to not mess up a word, you feel what I’m saying? I just don’t stop until I make sure it sounds like it was delivered properly.” To Remble, leaning into a precise flow was a fairly obvious decision. This is a generous thing for Remble to do, especially when he’s spitting some of the most intricate, off-the-wall lines we’ve heard all year: “Shawn Michaels at parties, I’m high kicking/ Monkey nuts on big choppers and side bitches/ A Gordon Ramsay entree with a side dish/ 2007 in class with a sidekick.” It’s as if he’s slowing down to carefully deliver every syllable, making sure no one will miss any of the slick references and double entendres. Visibly annoyed, he continues, “Do you really feel fly in True Religion? Did you think you would survive 5.56s? You spent a band on a burner and died with it?” Finished with his barrage of questioning, Remble settles into a methodical groove for the next two minutes, rattling off line after line with meticulous precision. The San Pedro rapper opens his verse by pleading with an imaginary listener. “Are you willing to die for those Christians?” he asks, the pitch of his voice rising with each word. For the uninitiated, “Gordon Ramsay Freestyle” is a good place to start. He makes the kind of music that provokes a visceral reaction the first time you hear it-whether you love it or hate it, you certainly won’t be bored by it.Īrmed with a carefully enunciated flow and a unique way of delivering hilariously detailed one-liners, Remble has become one of the most talked-about new rappers of the past few months. Remble’s rapping style is so distinctive, the internet can’t help but recontextualize it with jokes. “He doesn’t roast you, he addresses your flaws.” “If mumble rap is a thing, we are calling this clarity rap.”
