There’s Really a Wolf

Russ

Twenty tracks of self-produced hip-hop and R&B. A raspy, melodic manifesto of independence recorded entirely in a bedroom studio.

Find on Amazon

The ultimate DIY manifesto for anyone who's ever been told they can't do it all themselves.

A potent blend of unwavering self-assurance and late-night vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, minimalist flute loop on 'What They Want' that anchors the album's most defiant anthem.
The transition from vulnerable, raspy singing to a steady rap flow in the bridge of 'Losin Control'.
The stripped-back, guitar-led intimacy of 'Cherry Hill' that showcases the album's softer R&B core.
