Bread Doe's "RNA" Shows He's No Longer Content to Stay in the Background

The Chicago rapper and producer serves up a concise, charismatic banger.

Being a craftsperson means that one is meticulous, careful, and mannered. Though Bread Doe has done production and songwriting work for Jeremih and others, he brings an unfiltered aggression to his new song "RNA" that proves he can get as loud and in-your-face as the performers he composes for.

What's key to the song is its melodic flair; every ragged "YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" that escapes from Bread Doe's throat sounds like he's summoning deep-seated rage, but it's also as triumphant as the biggest stadium-filling anthems. The whole thing's over in two minutes, too, which is proven to result in hits these days. Watch the video for "RNA" above.
