pineappleCITI returns today with the release of the video for her R&B centric and enticingly rhythmic single, “Recognize.” The video opens with victory and celebration but mysteriously takes a turn with flashback visuals that display the artist at her lowest, just moments after her car crash. Rather than letting that get her down, pineappleCITI gets to work on her craft. She puts it all in the music in a cathartic and uplifting way. pineappleCITI is set to release her next single, “Believe” on April 10 via Red Bull Records.
The New Jersey rapper received major props in 2017 for her single “Rose Colored” – which appeared on her self-titled debut album of old-school-meets-new-generation rap finesse. Fast forward three years and a recovered pineappleCITI is making up for lost time. In the past year, she’s written for Kelly Rowland, Juicy J and Kehlani, released her second album, neonBLUE, and is newly signed to Red Bull Records. Now she’s set to take over 2020, with new music and a feature for NBA 2K ahead.
About pineappleCITI
For pineappleCITI, rhymes and raps spring right from the heart as she approaches each song, project, album, and show with an equal reverence for nineties East Coast storytelling and old-school Motown catharsis. Endorsed early on by The FADER, PAPER Mag, Complex and Billboard and streamed over 2 million times as of 2019, the New Jersey-born MC provides a simultaneously unique and universal perspective to her music.
