Based out of Cincinnati, Ohio, Ronin Halloway represents a fascinating and emerging facet of Midwest Hip-Hop. Combining influences ranging from Grime, Metal, and Folk, the Queen City emcee paints soundscapes with hard-hitting lyricism and percussive flow. With roots in freestyle, a remarkable stylistic balance is struck between the tactile grit of MF Doom and the world-building wizardry of David Bowie, pushing boundaries in unabashed fashion while remaining connected to Hip-Hop’s origins. There is an emotional urgency in the 26-year-old’s delivery, an intensity that is equal parts Death Grips and Jay Electronica. “I just want to make the best music I can and always keep pushing myself to get better. I’m so thankful and proud to be a part of what’s going on in Cincinnati. There’s so many artists in every type of music who want to get out there, and show the world what we can do. We support each other and push each other to grow, and that is awesome.” Ronin Halloway's debut project Pressure is now available for streaming on Spotify.
