The enigmatic new artist Goruneku unveils their debut track, Jaded, a bold addition to the phonk genre. The track takes listeners on an emotional journey, starting with a melancholic and mysterious melody that sets a haunting mood. As Jaded progresses, it erupts into a powerful beat that embodies the essence of phonk: a thick, pulsating bass, a nod to the raw intensity of Memphis rap, and an aftertaste of lingering despair that stays with you long after the track ends.
Goruneku’s sound brings a fresh yet familiar energy to the genre, blending the nostalgic grit of phonk with modern sonic textures. Jaded stands as both a tribute to phonk’s origins and a new direction in the genre’s evolution.
