RNZO SZN (Vinyl)

30th January 2026 marks exactly one year since rising New Zealand Hip Hop artist RNZŌ releases his debut album ‘RNZŌ SZN’ via 45RPM, distributed via Kartel Music Group’.
 
His first project displays the variety in which RNZŌ is able to create music. From Hip Hop/Rap to Uk Garage, RNZŌ is aiming to indulge in as many genres as possible leading into the future whilst also putting his name up in the mix as one of the best at what he does in the country of New Zealand.
 
To mark the release, RNZŌ shares single ‘Leaving Soon’ created in collaboration with Church. The track takes us on a journey through how RNZŌ isn’t entertained with going out and clubbing until he meets a young girl out in town. He speaks about her perfection and how he wants her to leave the club to come home, changing his ideas on both social life and relationships. At just 18 years old, RNZŌ is determined to leave a lasting impression. His upcoming project RNZŌ SZN displays the variety in which he is able to create music. From Hip Hop/Rap to UK Garage, RNZŌ is aiming to indulge in as many genres as possible leading into the future whilst also putting his name up in the mix as one of the best at what he does in the country of New Zealand.
 
Born in Hamilton, raised in Kawerau, the up-and-coming artist finally released his debut single ‘Taniwharau’ in August 2024 after teasing it on TikTok for weeks. With an irresistible flow, the track instantly caught the attention of hip hop fans throughout the Motu and in far-reaching corners of the globe.
 
Proudly representing his culture with his music, RNZŌ has a clear sense of identity and purpose that not many artists of his age can claim. RNZŌ performed at New Zealand’s Laneway festival last year, alongside the likes of Charli XCX, Bicep, Beabadobee & more.

It’s officially RNZŌ SZN. You’re in for a real good time.
