Milwaukee rapper Genesis Renji teams up with See.Francis on “Gelo,” a smooth new single that dropped yesterday and quickly proves the Emmy-nominated artist isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Running just over three minutes, “Gelo” settles into a mid-tempo groove that hits the sweet spot between laid-back and undeniably danceable. The production is understated but purposeful—airy instrumentation leaves plenty of room for Genesis Renji’s introspective bars to breathe while maintaining that head-nodding pulse from start to finish. There’s a coolness to the track that matches its title, balancing melancholy undertones with a forward momentum that keeps things from ever feeling sluggish.

See.Francis adds a complementary texture to the collaboration, and the chemistry between the two artists feels natural rather than forced. For a midsummer release, it hits exactly right—perfect for late-night drives or hazy afternoons.

As the co-founder of House Of Renji, LLC and head of Standard 79 Recordings, Genesis Renji continues to carve out his own lane in Milwaukee’s hip-hop scene. Between his Emmy nominations and Radio Milwaukee accolades, the man has proven he’s got staying power. “Gelo” is just the latest evidence that he’s still got plenty left in the tank.
