Rising London singer and rapper Rio Rainz has unveiled his latest single, “17”, one of his most raw and introspective tracks yet.
On the track, he confronts his struggles with mental health, taking listeners on a journey back to one of the most challenging periods in his life. Speaking on the drop, he said, “The song captures my struggle with pain and isolation, feelings that have been with me since I was a teenager. I often find myself feeling pretty disconnected, even in crowded places and I long for an escape from the emotional chaos. It’s a raw reflection of my challenges growing up, dealing with mental health and the journey to find myself amongst all the messiness.
