Produced entirely from his home studio in Kansas City, Highrise crafts chapters of life experiences, transforming into the spotlight with “Young Man,” a song that sparks an open conversation we all recognize but often try to forget. This rap-rock anthem features smooth guitar arpeggios woven together with clean vocals, modern hip-hop drums, and hard-won wisdom that resonates with emotion and intention.

At first listen, “Young Man” radiates like one part heartfelt advice tossed to the wind, a cautionary tale directed at the younger men of the next generation as they navigate chaos. But dig a little deeper, and it’s revealed this song is a mirror reflecting Highrise’s own younger self, haunted by the echoes of choices made and paths taken. The production balances rawness and refinement, giving the track a lived-in yet polished musical quality.

Vocally, Highrise shines with a melodic and emotionally charged delivery, comfortably occupying a sonic space that fans of MGK, Bryce Vine, or Ryan Caraveo will find familiar, yet it feels uniquely his own. The standout bridge hits hard: “Take it from me, I’ve been down this road…” a poetic gut-punch for anyone who’s been too stubborn to listen before learning the hard way.

Inspired partly by his late grandfather, the track carries a weight of generational reflection. It tiptoes through the complexities of enduring legacy and shifting perspectives with age, acknowledging the scars of youthful mistakes while nodding to the lessons passed down. “Young Man” doesn’t preach; it empathizes, and humility makes it particularly impactful. It is an anthem for anyone who looks back at their younger self and wishes they could whisper, “Slow down.”

Highrise has established his influence in making music and building a legacy, one brutally honest track at a time, telling truths that echo long after the song ends.

Ronnie Bell releases a new single, “I Ain’t Going Nowhere,” featuring Poley Bear. The song bundles vulnerability and unshakeable loyalty into a sultry, unshowy package that blisters with authenticity and heart. Sung in his signature blend of R&B and Southern Soul, the Louisiana-bred crooner captures a love song for grown folks who advocate that commitment is not a promise but an attitude.

From the first note, Bell establishes a tone with a velvety tangle that feels like equal parts front-porch blues and radio magic late at night. The production is warm and organic, allowing Ronnie’s voice to do what it does best: convey emotion like a freight train. His delivery is confident but tender, serving up the devotion emanating from lived experience, not fantasy. A grown man is drawing the line, declaring.

The track waves with conviction like he’s deep in the weeds of a soul-to-soul discourse with his partner, imploring her to look skeptically through to the other side of the noise and believe in the depth of what they’ve constructed. “I Ain’t Going Nowhere” is less about a grand gesture than irritation at how the steady, everyday loyalty it describes rarely gets its spotlight in today’s fast-moving musical world.

What elevates this track beyond its message is how Bell fuses classic soul sensibility with a contemporary feel. It’s both timeless a wink to the trailblazers who ran ahead and yet new, as if it’s meant for the audience that wants its music to exist between its ears. Ronnie Bell always had a feel for storytelling, but this one hits differently. It’s a personal, mature, and fist-pumping love song for couples who have braved the storms and emerged unscathed. In a culture that still often glorifies the exit, Bell provides a welcome reminder that true love remains.
