South Florida’s Rzu is an artist through and through. Equally gifted in video production, vocals, music production, and rapping, the young multi-disciplinarian is also relatively unheard of. And that’s a mistake on all of our parts. It’s unlikely that many other people hustle as hard as him for the love of their creative craft, and that creativity and love has manifested in a self-titled LP. Wide-ranging doesn’t even begin to capture the immensity of his delivery. Hell, experimentalist and indefinable even have a difficult time describing it. But what it is at its heart and soul is an exhibition of the art within a true artist.

We all spend so much time rightfully embracing the more mainstream deliveries and those that adhere more closely to an established albeit ever-changing norm, that it’s easy to let the avant-garde artists fall by the wayside. And amongst a smattering of struggling avant-garde artists, Rzu is one of the more unendingly unique, and also one of the less struggling in terms of allowing himself to create as his true self.

The Rzu LP is his thesis on the world’s artistic, personal, and social states, meandering in production, styling, and flow sans a care for any sort of established traditionalism. Barriers are broken all but one – the love for great, innovative, and ultimately unique music. Whether a fan of hip-hop or rock, electronic or vocals, the Rzu LP deserves your attention as a mark of a true artist unincorporated by anything done before – the type of project that may never come to be appreciated in its time, but will leave its mark on music’s future.
