Russ has been in his feels on his past few releases.

Russ is a rapper that can deliver his message in a variety of ways. He can go for a softer and moodier tone, or he can opt for a boom-bap vibe, etc. He is a Swiss Army knife in that regard and its a big reason why he has had such a long and successful career. While he might not be everyone's cup of tea, Russ's longevity cannot be overlooked.

Today, Russ is back to continue his prolific stretch of relationship cuts with "I Got You." There is a chance that the Secaucus, New Jersey native might have some things going on in his personal life. Either that, or he is just really inspired to make songs about love right now. "Drives," which painted a tale about a complicated relationship, started Russ' 2024.

Then, just a few weeks later, he came through with a DJ Premier collaboration record "Work This Out." The title of the song is exactly what it sounds like, as Russ is trying to repair his mistakes. "I Got You" is sort of similar to those two songs, as he worried that is personality will turn his love interest off. It sounds like something that would have fit on his highly praised There's Really A Wolf. Maybe he is hinting at something?

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, "I Got You," by Russ? Is this his strongest song as of late, why or why not? Do you think he should return to the There's Really A Wolf era?

Quotable Lyrics:

It's uncomfortable to love you in the way you need
'Cause I'm scared of bein' vulnerable and bein' seen
'Cause I just wanna be the best
Don't want you to love me less
But I promise, girl, I got you, got you
I guess my perfectionism's doin' damage still
