Hailing from Newark, New Jersey, RnB Hunter’s latest single, “Jungle,” brings back old school R&B vibes and vocals with a new flare.
Although many R&B listeners insist that R&B is dead, new acts on the scene like RnB Hunter undeniably prove that R&B will never die; it is simply in the middle of a brand new resurgence.
New Jersey is no stranger to new talent – and RnB Hunter is one of the many artists breaking through within the Tristate area. Based in Newark, New Jersey – the home of vocalists Whitney Houston, Sarah Vaughan, and Faith Evans – RnB Hunter is in the perfect place for crafting fresh, new R&B music with the soul and influence of his R&B predecessors.

RnB Hunter’s latest single, “Jungle,” is a record for all audiences, especially for fans of old school 90s R&B and listeners of Giveon, Luke James, or Lucky Daye. RnB Hunter’s “Jungle” begins with horns riffing in the introduction, and as the hip-hop snares flutter and the 808s drop, his vocals glide into the song, singing, “The jungle is hot tonight/I can hear em whiling’/2 door coupe, pull up we stylin/Could be dangerous might hear sirens.'”
The “jungle,” a metaphor for the streets, is the subject of the entire song, with RnB Hunter inviting his love interest to ride around the “jungle” with him in a two-door coupe. He speaks to his love interest, singing, “Baby it’s no way you from the Jungle/With the cheaters and runners it’s okay/Said you never been I can tell you wanna” and that the “jungle” is “home of the killers and robbers.”
As the song progresses, RnB Hunter continues to sing to his love interest about the “jungle,” asking her to “slide if you want to” and that he’ll keep her “safe from the gangsters and thuggas.”
RnB Hunter’s single “Jungle” sets the tone for the future of the new R&B scene. With a knack for crafting melodies and effortless runs, RnB Hunter is a true singer/songwriter and has a bright future within R&B and in the music industry.

Law, an R&B/Pop singer based in New Jersey, has exploded onto the scene with her voice, her multi-instrumentalist talents, and her entertaining Tik Toks. After releasing her summer anthem, “Over It,” Law follows up “Over It” with her newest single, “Controller.”
Uptempo dance track “Controller” is a message to Law’s old lover – her blatant refusal to be taken advantage of and controlled in their relationship. Her sultry vocals compliment the production, and her whisper-like tone swells with harmonies throughout the song as the beat explodes into the chorus. In the beginning of the song, Law sings, “You better get on your knees and pray to God that I don’t leave/Cause once I walk out that door/Ain’t no changing my mind.”
As the song progresses, Law continues to sing directly to her lover, explaining, “Feel like I’m living in a prison/It’s like you’re the warden/And I’m wearing all these chains.” She then switches the tone of the song lyrically and vocally at the start of the chorus, professing, “I’m not your controller/Stop trying to control me.” At the end of the chorus, she flips into her higher register, singing lyrics, “You cannot control me/You’re just the king of misery.”
“Controller” sets the tone for Law’s journey to finding herself as an independent woman and vocalizing that journey throughout her music.
