Canadian artist Rubicini has returned with a new single titled “Grave,” which released Friday, October 10, 2025. The track marks a major step forward in his evolving sound—merging punk, alternative, hip-hop, and R&B into a raw yet polished expression of emotion. Teaming up with Adde, a rising Swedish artist known for his hit “Ego,” Rubicini explores the struggles that live inside all of us and the courage it takes to face them.
Grave is a meditation on fighting personal demons—the ones that creep in during quiet moments and test our will to grow. The lyrics confront anxieties, vices, and the emotional scars left by past relationships. Rubicini and Adde don’t shy away from pain. Instead, they channel it into a message about resilience and release.
The chorus captures the fight to break free from the darkness that holds us back. It’s not only about confronting others who remain trapped in their turmoil but also about refusing to be drawn back into it. The song shines a light on healing, accountability, and the power to move forward.
Co-Produced by Dustin Belt
Grave was co-produced with Dustin Belt, a Billboard-charting producer, songwriter, and guitarist based in Los Angeles. Belt also wrote the guitar sections for Grave and has contributed to many of Rubicini’s punk-alternative songs such as “Wasted” and “Tripping” featuring Benny Mayne.
With over 15 years of experience in the music industry, Belt has worked with major acts including Steve Aoki, Big Time Rush, Heffron Drive, Andy Grammer, Tori Kelly, All Time Low, Wooli, Nervo, Metro Station, Cody Simpson, Walk Off The Earth, and Tiffany Thornton. His career spans global performances in more than 30 countries and appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Live With Kelly, The View, The Talk, and the iHeart Radio Festival.
Beyond performance, Belt is also a writer and composer for TV and film, with credits on CBS, The CW, and Crackle. His extensive experience adds depth and polish to Grave, helping translate Rubicini’s vision into a powerful listening experience.
For Rubicini, Grave represents more than another single—it’s a creative shift. Known for blending the moody textures of Toronto R&B with an alternative pop edge, he’s now embracing a more punk-inspired energy while staying grounded in rhythm and soul. This progression feels natural for an artist who has built his name on versatility and authenticity.
From his early days crafting music in his own studio to performing at packed venues across North America, Rubicini’s rise has been steady and self-driven. His collaborations with some of Canada’s top artists have shaped his craft and refined his ear for detail. Each release adds another layer to his story as he builds a global fanbase that continues to grow with every project.
Adde, representing Sweden’s growing presence in international hip-hop, complements Rubicini’s introspective style with a voice that carries depth and sincerity. Together, the two create a sonic bridge between continents—Canada’s melodic introspection and Scandinavia’s minimalist edge converge into a song that feels both personal and universal.
