RANNA ROYCE'S Dark and Twisted New Tale, "SMITH & WESSON", Will Blow You Away
– 1 min read
Promising Cali lyricist RANNA ROYCE is back with a vengeance and a gun in todays new offering - SMITH & WESSON. RANNA’s latest creation is a follow-up to her KXNG CROOKED assisted single, WORDPLAY, and is without a doubt her most powerful narration to date.
Paired once again with her equally talented co-creators, Isqo and Izzy, RANNA showcases her wordplay dexterity throughout SMITH & WESSON with her semi-automatic speed. Set against the backdrop of this American Psycho-inspired music video, RANNA switches effortlessly from victim to miscreant as her dark and twisted narrative unfolds, gleefully reveling in her own depravity. As usual, her signature, trippy, Tim Burton-esque visual will have you screaming, "I'll have what she's having!”
If you are checking RANNA's music out for the first time, you should know that SMITH & WESSON is no anomaly. Previous releases like Kay Ivey, Silent Night (Carol Flo), and Oh Shoot see everything from abortion, rape, and school shootings coming in to her crosshairs. RANNA's gift though is that her bar-for-bar poignancy and riebald black humor are never obfuscated by even the ghastliest of tales. SMITH & WESSON is out now everywhere to stream!
