Rican Da Menace

Rican Da Menace has been consistent with her music releases, especially since her big co-sign from Moneybagg Yo. This next single, could become even bigger, and it appears Rican Da Menace is getting ready to drop a new single that features the world-wide-known-anthem, Ruff Ryders Anthem.

Just one month since dropping her last single, Rican Da Menace shared a snippet for new music today on Instagram. The video shared shows Rican and her friends twerking on a Lamborghini truck in a mall parking lot. The sample is something everyone will instantly pick up on, utilizing the Ruff Ryders Anthem beat, with just a bit of a twist.

Her confidence is top tier. Her sound is deep and assertive. Her sample selection, is bold. We’ve recently seen Latto sample Shawty Lo, Coi Leray sample Busta Rhymes, Megan the Stallion sample Eazy-E, Nicki Minaj sampling B.I.G., and so much more. When you do something like this, especially with it being so obviously recognizable, you make a statement. You want to make that artist proud, which is probably even less complicated than making the fans proud, at many points in time.

Hearing an old favorite redone by someone brand new, is a bold move. But Rican Da Menace sounds like she is bringing it on the snippet of this new track, which either way you look at it, is sure to put her on the map.
