RMR Puts A Humorous Spin On A ’90s Rock Classic In His ‘The Wishing Hour’ Video
Artistically vandalizing a Gen X favorite, RMR gets back up to the old tricks that made him famous in the first place. …
The mysterious masked crooner RMR first broke out with a trap-tastic cover of Rascal Flatts’ “Bless the Broken Road” which went viral as fans struggled to parse its subject matter with the divergent presentation. With his latest video, he gives them more fodder to ponder as he breaks down a ’90s Matchbox Twenty classic, dropping the whole shebang into what looks like a coffee shop open mic night, complete with a backup band and a cup of tea.
“The Wishing Hour” is RMR’s tongue-in-cheek take on Matchbox Twenty’s “3 AM,” which twists the pining anthem into more of a late-night booty call theme song. While M20’s Rob Thomas initially wrote the song to try and make sense of his mom’s cancer diagnosis, RMR is more interested in hashing out a less complex set of emotions. “It’s three a.m. and I’m f*ckin’ horny,” he warbles in his zany take. It probably won’t make Thomas too happy but RMR’s fans will likely delight in his artistic vandalism. The track is the first part of a new project called 4th Quarter Medley, re-imagining a bunch of songs across a series of interconnected videos.
Of course, RMR already proved this year that he’s no one-trick pony, putting out the mischievous Drug Dealing Is A Lost Art EP featuring a broad range of styles on tracks like “Dealer” featuring Future and Lil Baby, “I’m Not Over You,” and “Welfare” with Westside Gunn.

Jeffery journey’s from childhood streets to new heights on latest release “ALBANIE”
“ALBANIE” is a high energy song that was inspired by the streets that Jeffery grew up on. Jeffery’s “ALBANIE” brings you back to where his story began. More than a tip of the cap to a familiar place, the release offers a glimpse into his own path, what kept him going and the want that was there long before others saw his potential.
Jeffery connects his current musical journey to the formative experiences that molded him, drawing on the influences of his early surroundings. It has the feel of an artist looking back on his journey, how much work it took to get where he is now, and how far he’s come.
That energy is a response to the personal significance of the title, making the song a statement of progress as well as a tribute to the location of that progress. That removes some of the authenticity of the release. Success can alter the public’s perception of an artist, but the work behind that progression often begins long before the public becomes aware of it. Jeffery connects his current dreams with his earlier self by reassuming the name he once used in his youth.
ALBANIE is a statement of growth without losing your roots. It’s a mix of personal history, determination and a lively musical style that gets people moving to the beat. Jeffery’s proud of the work he’s done with this release, but also knows the foundation it’s laid. It’s a song that bridges hometown memories and future ambition, a reminder that where an artist starts can still be a vital part of where they’re going.
