“A gentleman don’t kiss and tell…”

Renelle 893 returns with massive new single ‘Gentleman’.

A re-introduction to Renelle’s universe and a brilliant reminder of his collaborative partnership with Bay29, ‘Gentleman’ sees Renelle searching out life’s earthly pleasures atop a thumping 90s-era instrumental (circa Mobb Deep et al). Accompanied by an eye-watering video utilising cutting edge technology, ‘Gentleman’ oozes the classic energies that we hope Renelle & Bay29 long continue to champion.

We’re really enjoying putting out the recent singles from Vitamin G. ‘Icy Yute’ got the ball rolling, the momentum picked up on ‘Big Spender’, and now, just in time for Chrismtas, we are delighted to reveal ‘Pep’.

Made up of all the component parts you have come to expect from Vitamin G - the catchy hook, the footie references, the razor sharp flows and intricate punchlines, ‘Pep’ is another brilliant example of balance; the rolling instrumental (and video) courtesy of King Girl expertly complementing Vitz’ lyricism from start-to-finish.
