Fresh off the release of his full-length debut album, Dro Kenji continues to make wistful waves with his poignant pen and mellifluous melodies. After kicking off the weekend with the release of WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, Dro Kenji returns to keep the momentum rolling into the week with new visuals for the album’s trending single, “FINDERS KEEPERS.” Featuring glossy, dynamic Internet Money production courtesy of Nick Mira, Nash & Taz Taylor, and an infectious hook from Syracuse riser, Scorey. The single finds Dro Kenji navigating his newfound success while maneuvering past opponents to keep his lover close, as he croons, “Got a lot of evil energy, but it’s not mine/Got a lot of evil enemies, and that’s all fine/But you’re the only thing I worry ‘bout when I’m not high.”
The heady Logan Meis-directed visuals (Meis’ other credits include Trippie Redd, Trevor Daniel, Iann Dior) establish a sense of continuity with the otherworldly fantasy aesthetic seen in the video of the album’s lead single, “VANISH,” with each seemingly offering a peek into the longing, imaginative mind of Dro Kenji. As Kenji voices his diaristic serenade, he’s seen standing alone on a floating island of rock opposite that of his pursued interest as she nears, pulled into his orbit by the gravity of weighted emotions.
WITH OR WITHOUT YOU arrives after a banner year for the young artist, which saw him embark on his first headlining national tour, which he wrapped up with a performance at Rolling Loud California. 2021 also saw Kenji release two new mixtapes, including EAT YOUR HEART OUT, this past spring, featuring “KILL CUPID” ft. $NOT (12 million Spotify streams), which received an animated video, and the early summer’s F*CK YOUR FEELINGS, which saw the rapper flex and reflect over 16 tracks of expansive Internet Money production, and features highlights like “SUPERSTAR” and “TRANCE.”
Never one to rest on his laurels, Dro Kenji is only just starting his rise. Stay tuned for much more from the prolific artist as he continues his ascent to the highest echelons of the rap game.
