Venbee drops a drum and bass-influenced track, rampage, featuring the iconic DJ SS, who’s been orchestrating beats since the genre’s nascent days in the early 90s. It’s an exciting collaboration that is nothing short of electric, a fusion of old-school mastery with conscious lyricism.

Rampage draws listeners with its infectious hook. Venbee’s vocals, dripping with confidence and defiance, lay down a clear message: she’s not here for the glitz and glamour. The lyrics, “I’m not gonna roll up in a Benz / Leaning out the windows ‘round my ends / You can have the champagne / I’ll be on a rampage / Chillin’ in the local with my friends,” are a bold rejection of the opulence and superficiality that often plague the music industry. It’s a refreshing take, reminding listeners of the essence of music, i.e., raw emotion, authenticity, and connection.

As the song progresses, DJ SS’s influence becomes palpable. The drop is a masterclass in drum and bass production – frenetic, explosive, and utterly immersive. It’s a testament to DJ SS’s decades of experience, seamlessly blending with Venbee’s contemporary style. The result? A track that feels both nostalgic and avant-garde.

The lyrics of rampage further delve into Venbee’s introspection. The verse, “Flashing lights / I was on a low down / But I came back to life / Given all the money / And I just lost my mind / But I wouldn’t be here / If I didn’t cross that line,” speaks volumes of her journey, struggles, and eventual resurgence. It’s a narrative many can relate to, making the song all the more impactful.
