Art Thief by Renelle 893

 

High Focus Records is pleased to announce 'Art Thief', the debut album from Renelle 893.

Citing Steve Jobs' famous use of Picasso's "Good artists copy, great artists steal" quote as central to the concept, 'Art Thief' is the culmination of Renelle's wide-eyed appreciation of the river of influences that feed into the music he makes. From the trials and tribulations of life in the big smoke to the grandiose cultural references that contribute to his style, the album is a triple distilled example of taking cues from the world and making them your own.

Art Thief" is also a transformative listen, as Renelle embarks on a deeply personal journey across 14 tracks; exploring love, family, addiction, loyalty, pleasure and pain, each chapter expertly soundtracked by longtime collaborator Bay29. His expert production serves as the glue that binds the deeply personal to the broader narratives amidst a flurry of samples and signature breaks.

With guest appearances from CLBRKS, Illiterate and HF's own Nelson Dialect, Art Thief is Renelle's best attempt (yet) to transcend the rap game; a notion best represented in the album's artwork, which pays homage to Caravaggio's St. Jerome Writing, casting Renelle as both creator and masterpiece.

Renelle 893 - Hitting L's

Renelle 893 returns with 'Hitting L's'. Sharp and sobering, the lyrics transcend mere storytelling as Renelle delves deeper into the spiral, shining a light on the darker corners of modern city life and commenting on the harsh realities faced by many over an epic instrumental produced by Bay29.

Renelle's greatest skill is his ability to draw parallels between his personal struggles and broader societal issues, subtly comparing his 🍃 habit to the rapid deforestation crisis; Renelle expertly shows the weight of his dependencies on societies at large.

Renelle 893 - Gentleman

"A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell..."

Renelle 893 returns with a massive new single 'Gentleman'.

A reintroduction to Renelle's universe and a brilliant reminder of his collaborative partnership with Bay29, 'Gentleman' finds Renelle exploring life's earthly pleasures over a thumping 90's instrumental (circa Mobb Deep et al). Accompanied by a dazzling video utilizing cutting-edge technology, 'Gentleman' exudes the classic energies that we hope Renelle & Bay29 will continue to champion for a long time to come.
