Milwaukee’s own Genesis Renji is back with another fresh slice of heat, dropping his new single “Parachute” featuring Dee3x. Released on April 28th, this track marks another milestone for the Emmy-nominated artist who continues to cement his place as one of the city’s most prolific hip-hop voices.

Clocking in at just under two and a half minutes, “Parachute” wastes no time getting to the point. The production rides a brisk 170 BPM tempo while maintaining an infectious groove—Renji and Dee3x trade bars over a beat that balances danceability with raw energy. There’s a notable urgency here, a breathlessness that matches the song’s thematic undertones of taking leaps and trusting the freefall.

For those unfamiliar, Genesis Renji is far more than a rapper. The multi-disciplinary creator runs Standard 79 Recordings, a Milwaukee-based studio where he wears the hats of audio engineer, sound designer, and producer. His catalog stretches across multiple EPs and albums—from “I Left My Heart With August” to “Purple Stones”—all showcasing his ability to blend reflective lyricism with polished production.

The collaboration with Dee3x adds another layer to Renji’s growing list of partnerships with fellow Milwaukee artists, following notable team-ups with acts like Jaecar over the years. It’s this community-minded approach that has made him an enduring figure in the city’s hip-hop circuits, both on stage and behind the boards.

Stream “Parachute” now and hear why Genesis Renji remains essential listening for anyone tracking Milwaukee’s hip-hop pulse.
