It seems like Russ is undergoing a noticeable evolution in his music. Rather than solely focusing on material wealth, he’s increasingly open about his mental health and relationships, suggesting a shift toward vulnerability and introspection. Perhaps maturity and life experiences are prompting this change in perspective. In Russ’ latest singles, “That’s My Girl” and “Tired,” he pays homage to his partner and speaks candidly about the pressures he faces, demonstrating this newfound depth in his music.

In “That’s My Girl,” Russ sounds like someone completely satisfied with what his lady has to offer. He mentions her great mouth skills, willingness to take smacks, and ability to switch between an angel and demon. What’s interesting is that the song is powered by this booming, Lil Jon-like beat that makes his sly delivery sound very potent.

In “Tired,” Russ practically vents to all of us. He discusses everything he’s tired of, including people who speak down on him, the nonsense people say on the internet, his family drama, and feeling guilty for taking sabbaticals. I appreciate the honesty we hear from Russ in the song, along with the soulful vibes in the production and the relentless flow he employs.
