PENOMECO has returned with RNSSNC TAPE, an 8-track project that signals not just a comeback, but a rebirth. With a title referencing the Renaissance, the EP feels like a deliberate statement: PENOMECO is building his own creative world from the ground up. Now operating under his own brand, if I, within EGO GROUP, the South Korean artist takes full control of his vision, merging hip-hop, R&B, Afro-fusion, and experimental production into a bold and cohesive sound.

PENOMECO has long been known for his genre fluidity and lyrical agility, but RNSSNC TAPE pushes both further. Tracks like “EGGE” (feat. YDG) twist everyday Korean expressions into sharp, percussive hooks, while mid-tempo cuts “Dance With Me” and “Leave Without You” (feat. Moon Sujin) lean into emotional storytelling with powerful production. “This tape is me expanding every corner of what I do,” he says. “Everything has intention—from the sound to the visuals to the message.”

What’s most striking is the EP’s refusal to follow traditional album structure. PENOMECO treats each track as a standalone statement that still contributes to a broader narrative arc. Whether it’s the chaotic bounce of “My Chick” with Lil Cherry or the raw vulnerability of “Leave Without You,” there’s a sense of an artist testing the limits of his form without ever losing control of the music’s core emotion.

In RNSSNC TAPE, PENOMECO delivers more than a collection of tracks. It’s a self-assured body of work for the future of Korean music that doesn’t chase trends but creates its own language, one beat at a time.
