Known for his cocksure homilies, RNL’s musical talents were cultivated in Southeast DC. A third generation Washingtonian RNL’s music reflects stories from his city. Inspired by his late uncle who was a gifted drummer and, encouraged by his older brother Sean, RNL’s path to hip-hop began as a critical listener and student. At Duke Ellington School of the Arts his destiny manifested on paper and in practice with fellow creatives that would incubate one of his natural gifts – improvisation.
