Rising artists Yung Rex from East New York, Brooklyn, and J.Shxtz (Shotz) from Shavyville, Queens, are shaking up the scene with their latest single under Cityline Records. Known for their unfiltered approach to music, the duo has crafted a record inspired by real-life experiences and sprinkled it with a dose of humor and authenticity.
Inspiration and Message
Yung Rex shared the inspiration behind the single, candidly stating that it was driven by the relatable fatigue that follows a one-night stand when a partner becomes too clingy. This honest and humorous foundation underscores the duo’s ethos: never be afraid to be yourself. Their music, and the broader mission of Cityline Records, is about breaking barriers and pushing boundaries to inspire others to chase their dreams relentlessly.
Music Video Vision
The music video for the single came together spontaneously, reflecting the duo’s organic and fun-loving creative process. “We were just having fun,” Rex explained, “and decided to shoot a video that same day.” This carefree and collaborative approach brought out a raw, unfiltered energy that aligns perfectly with the song’s message.
Growth and Craftsmanship
Yung Rex views this single as a significant leap in his artistry. “This represents growth from my previous work,” he said. “I’ve perfected my craft and, as a perfectionist, I always revisit my mistakes to ensure I don’t repeat them.” This dedication to self-improvement is a hallmark of his music, delivering tracks that resonate with both new listeners and long-time fans.
Challenges and Studio Process
Interestingly, the production process for the song was challenge-free. Yung Rex and his nephew effortlessly recorded five songs in one studio session, showcasing the duo’s efficiency and chemistry. Their focus on authenticity and simplicity ensures the music feels both polished and true to their roots.
Connecting with Fans
To promote their work and connect with a broader audience, the duo leverages platforms like YouTube and Instagram. These tools help them reach listeners outside their local region, building traction and expanding their fan base.
