RMR Completes His ‘4th Qtr Medley’ With One Last Classic Cover

He really doesn’t want the world to see him. …

In wrapping up his short film cover project, 4th Qtr Medley, RMR saves one last classic cover for the finale. After gleefully vandalizing Matchbox Twenty’s ’90s hit “3 AM” with “The Wishing Hour” and Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” with “That Was Therapeutic,” RMR closes things out with the full film, which you’ll have to sit through to get to his smirking teardown of Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” and an absolutely killer solo courtesy of his backing band’s guitarist. Watching Black people shred always gets me right in the feels.

4th Qtr Medley is one heck of a way to close out RMR’s first year of stardom, ending as he began: With a head-turning cover of a classic rock-ish hit no one ever would have expected from a ski-masked trap crooner who hangs out with the likes of Westside Gunn and Future. When “Rascal” went viral earlier this year, fans had no idea what to make of it. Was this a joke? A gimmick? A serious attempt to co-opt country music as part of trap rap’s increasingly diverse oeuvre? His next efforts, the single “Dealer” and his eventual debut EP Drug Dealing Is A Lost Art answered “all of the above.” The masked singer turned out to be capable of irreverent homage, groundbreaking originality, and a surprising authenticity. And we still don’t know who he really is or what he looks like, which might just be the key ingredient in keeping us tuned in as we try to unravel the mystery of RMR.

Watch 4th Qtr Medley above.

RMR is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Captain Iron and the Windrift Band put on a sci-fi pop show with new release “Ultra Sound”

Captain Iron / Windrift Band opens a vivid portal with “Ultra Sound,” a bold, creative dance-pop song that fully embraces cinematic storytelling. From the outset, the track establishes itself as more than just a catchy club-ready anthem, it’s a narrative-driven experience wrapped in glossy, futuristic production.

“Ultra Sound” is a great track because of its unique idea, a sexy fembot synth lures astronauts into a trap, then uses an ultrasonic tractor beam to steal their ship. It’s fun, a little strange, and very different from what you usually hear in pop music. This lets Captain Iron show off his unique lyrical style. The story feels like it’s moving forward with each beat, like it’s a movie.

It’s easy to see how “Ultra Sound” could grow even further with full-scale production or collaboration, since its foundation already offers plenty of possibilities. Captain Iron / Windrift Band gives us a song that is both fun and smart. “Ultra Sound” doesn’t just want people to dance, it wants to take them to a colorful, imaginative world where stories and sounds come together thrillingly.

Séhkou turns pain into power with new release “Black Emotive”

Séhkou starts a very personal chapter with “Hebrews 5:7 (Black Emotive),” a powerful song from his Solus project that mixes music, poetry, and spiritual reflection. From the very first notes, it’s clear that this is more than just a song; it’s an experience.

Séhkou starts with a haunting spoken-word piece that sets a mood of deep thought and emotion. His voice is calm and measured, with a quiet intensity that pulls the listener in. As the song goes on, it turns into a structured verse, and you can feel a change, a movement from tension to release that feels planned and earned.

“Black Emotive” is about grief and endurance, it looks at the sacred space where emotions are not hidden but honored. The record channels a sense of supplication and resilience, turning personal struggle into something almost transcendent. The biblical reference of Hebrews 5:7 inspires this.
