Blxst And Remble Praise The Lord In Their Spiritual ‘Child Of God’ Video

Last month, hyperarticulate San Pedro rapper Remble made his return to the spotlight with the help of Blxst on the spiritual single, “Child Of God.” Today, the duo shares the affirmative video for the song, which takes place in two major frames reflecting the song’s duality. We see a sunny day in LA, with children play fighting in the street, a group of women cruising around in a convertible, and Blxst performing in the hills flanked by a small choir.

But then, when the beat switches up for Remble’s verse, things get dark — literally, as his segment takes place at night under a fireworks display. We also see the other side of some of the brighter scenes. The kids playing “Duck, Duck, Goose” are running around a chalk outline, while one of the women from the convertible scene shows off her other skills, suggesting that there’s a price to be paid for some blessings.

“Child Of God” is just the latest song making Blxst one of the West Coast’s most ubiquitous voices lately. Earlier this year, he curated the soundtrack to NBA 2K23‘s latest season and appeared on tracks from Compton rappers Tyga & YG (“West Coast Weekend“) and Roddy Ricch (“Passionate“). As he told Uproxx in May, he’s not only working on his third album but also another joint Sixtape with Bino Rideaux.

Remble Returns From A Quiet Year Off On Blxst’s Gracious ‘Child Of God’

Remble returns after over a year away from the spotlight to deliver more of his hyper-enunciated bars on Blxst‘s new single “Child Of God.” After Blxst sing-raps his way through a gospel-tinged inspirational, the beat switches up and Remble raises some hell, contemplating the darker side of life in Southern California. Where Blxst gives thanks for his growing list of blessings, Remble prays for protection — but still makes sure to let any potential enemies know he’s got a backup plan on him at all times.

The San Pedro rapper seemingly disappeared from the public eye in 2022 after having an impressive breakout year in 2021. After dropping his debut album, It’s Remble, in July and caught a wave in September with “Rocc Climbing” featuring Lil Yachty, though, he was devastated by the death of his greatest benefactor, Drakeo The Ruler, who’d signed him to his Stinc Team label. It seems he’s making his recovery now, making his first foray back into the spotlight with the help of Blxst, who has been as visible lately as Remble has been low-key.

Blxst is fresh off of curating the soundtrack to NBA 2K23‘s Season 7 and contributing his signature smooth choruses to tracks from Tyga & YG and Roddy Ricch. Check out “Child Of God” above.

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

Remble And Lil Yachty Trade Hilarious, Punchline-Packed Verses On The Irreverent ‘Rocc Climbing’

Among the hilarious bars dispensed on Remble’s new single “Rocc Climbing” with Lil Yachty, the two rappers issue side-splitting witticisms such as, “I’m a known home wrecker, like Jerry Springer” and “A lot these Instagram hoes look just like aunties.” Look, none of this stuff is very PC, but it is undoubtedly funny, if only for its audacity and not the eye-popping contrast between the two artists’ unusual deliveries.

On one side, Lil Yachty is in full Michigan Boy Boat mode, deploying the marble-mouthed, overstuffed rhyme schemes of his collaborators on that mixtape with his usual, un-enunciated, lethargically mellow flow. On the other, Remble pronounces every phoneme of every word in every bar, which sounds a little like if one of the guys from Big Bang Theory grew up in South Central gangbanging. Drakeo The Ruler‘s influence hovers over the whole thing — and if you’ve never noticed the affinity between the off-kilter cadences of both LA’s emerging underground and Michigan’s, you will never un-hear the similarities now.

“Rocc Climbing” is Remble’s first new single since releasing his debut mixtape It’s Remble this summer. The release considerably raised the San Pedro rapper’s profile, and his association with the never-not-working Drakeo’s Stinc Team more or less ensures that more music is on the way.
