On his heartwrenching new album LA EX, Keenon Rush takes us through an emotional rollercoaster with his imaginative storytelling and impressive beat selection.

During his childhood in Atlanta, Keenon would often showcase his musical talent by singing old hymns on Sunday mornings at different churches. These formative experiences were the catalyst that drove him to begin writing and sharing stories about his youthful life. Through the years, he has gained recognition for his candid yet poetic style of lyricism, and being able to immerse listeners in a world through the release of various projects.

His latest body of work however stands as one of his most poignant offerings, and the closing track "Fallback" is a stellar example of this sentiment. Over glossy synth textures and smooth drums, Keenon mourns the loss of a cherished romance in a manner that's seamlessly relatable for many. Through the verses, his flows leave listeners hanging onto his every bar, while on the chorus, he showcases his abilities to craft compelling hooks.

"Fallback" is only one part of the story, to hear the full experience I'd urge you to dive into the entire album:
