ATL’s RETRO represents everything in his namesake. He has a penchant for sampling pop culture of the ’90’s, from the Teenage Mutant Turtles to OG’s like Eazy-E and Mase. The rhyme-slinger has an innate ability to incorporate his strengths, while still paying homage to West Coast, NY, and Southern hip-hop. RETRO’s visuals are his bread and butter and will evoke forgotten memories for any 90’s baby. His newest, VIBE, is his best yet. Besides his unique rhyme-scheme and witty wordplay, Retro truly knows how to perform behind the lens. Throughout the Josue Harden directed visual, he break-dances in shiny suits, (remarking via email he was sweating bullets) grooves throughout the city streets, and hits locations that are sure to bring up nostalgia of simpler times. His “nine 1” mixtape is available now.
