Rarri True’s New Track ‘Young Boss’ Ft. Pluto is All About Him Bossing Up

by Haleema Khan October 20, 2019
written by Haleema Khan

Chicago-based MC Rarri True is on the verge of blowing up. His music is nothing less than top-notch trap acrobatics tuned to the hum of an italian-made engine, the big body bars of a titan no less. His approach and Weltanschauung is from the bottom to the top, a true definition of what the American dream looks like coming from a city like Chicago.

His track ‘Young Boss’ featuring fellow artist Pluto is all thoroughbred. They’re able to weirdly capture the feeling of an intense come-up but in a luxurious way, which is exactly what Rarri is talking about when he speaks of taking a jet instead of Lyft, a symbol of him going very far in his climb to stardom. The two rappers lay down solid bars over a trappy beat that is so luxury you might start thinking of investing in henny bottles. Beware. Take a listen below and watch out for more music via his insta.

What began as a simple commitment to better bread evolved into a larger culinary vision rooted in authenticity, craftsmanship, and a passion for thoughtfully made food.
