Acclaimed Korean rapper, singer-songwriter, and producer PENOMECO returns with RNSSNC TAPE, out now via EGO GROUP and Kakao Entertainment — listen HERE and watch the music video HERE. The powerful 8-track EP marks his first release in over a year and signals a creative rebirth, reasserting his status as one of Korea’s most versatile and boundary-pushing artists.

Driven by conceptual depth and bold soundscapes, RNSSNC TAPE derives its title from the word “Renaissance,” referring not only to a cultural rebirth, but also PENOMECO’s personal transformation after a decade-long career that’s seen him rise as a songwriter for global K-pop acts and an artist in his own right. From the explosive opener “RNSSNC” to the satirical yet addictive title track “EGGE (Feat. YDG),” the EP traverses a rich palette of sounds — from hip-hop and R&B to Afro Fusion and electronic — layered with introspective, witty, and emotionally raw lyricism.

The album opens with “RNSSNC,” a blistering declaration of intent that sets the thematic and sonic tone for the entire EP — a personal rebirth forged through grit, reflection, and ambition. The title track “EGGE (Feat. YDG)” reunites PENOMECO with veteran artist and actor YDG (Squid Game 3) after their viral success with 2023’s “BOLO,” which topped Spotify’s Viral charts in France, Germany, and Hungary. “EGGE” playfully flips the Korean expression “애걔” (a dismissive scoff) into a rhythmic, Latin Pop-inspired track that underscores PENOMECO’s confidence and lyrical edge.

Elsewhere on the EP, listeners are invited into cinematic sonic vignettes: the emotionally drained “Dance With Me” and “Leave Without You (Feat. Moon Sujin)” capture the melancholic unraveling of a relationship; “My Chick (Feat. Lil Cherry)” delivers Afro Pluggnb chaos and romance; “Fine By me” offers a chilling breakup; and “KK” finds PENOMECO at his most playful, with warped vocals, syncopated beats, and a smile-through-the-burn kind of swagger. Closing out the project is a summer-ready remix of his 2018 fan-favorite “COCO BOTTLE,” reworked by DJ/producer APRO into a euphoric electronic finale.

With PENOMECO’s pen behind hits for IU, Crush, JESSI, NCT, ITZY, EXO, Red Velvet, and more, RNSSNC TAPE is not just a return, it’s a reintroduction. With his sharp musical instincts, wit, and genre-defying confidence, PENOMECO’s renaissance is not coming — it’s already here.
