A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with “R” (11–20)
Run It Back (featuring Nas)De La Soul
De La Soul, a legendary group that forms a cornerstone of the Native Tongues and has etched its name into hip-hop history with an original style.
After overcoming the tragedy of member Trugoy’s sudden passing in February 2023, Posdnuos and Maseo continue to carry the torch.
Their track “Run It Back!!,” featuring their East Coast ally Nas, stands out with a beat that reverses a smash hit by The Police.
While evoking the golden era, it also conveys a strong determination to keep leading the scene in the present.
The song appears on Cabin in the Sky, their first album in nine years, released in November 2025, a project that also drew attention through collaborations with BEAMS.
It’s a great listen not only for longtime fans but also for anyone seeking a positive boost.
Real ShitLil Baby
Lil Baby, the powerhouse rapper leading Atlanta’s trap scene.
With his 2020 classic “My Turn” topping the U.S.
charts and earning him a Grammy, he’s firmly established himself as a top-tier star in both name and reality.
His newly released track from November 2025, “Real Shit,” continues that trajectory.
Dropped as part of a series following the album “WHAM,” this song lays bare the fake attitudes that come with success and the sense of responsibility he carries as someone from the streets, all over a wistful beat.
The candid look at the struggles behind the glittering success highlights his sincerity.
With his first-ever shows in Japan on the horizon, this is a must-listen right now.
Rock That BodyBlack Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas are a globally popular group.
This track, cut as a single in January 2010 from their classic album The E.N.D., is a powerful party tune that boosts your energy on pure instinct.
Its beat samples ’80s hip-hop and layers processed vocals for an irresistibly addictive sound.
The lyrics simply urge you to “move your body and have fun,” and just listening makes your worries feel irrelevant.
In 2025, it enjoyed an astonishing revival, sparked by a trend on video platforms, topping Japan’s Shazam chart for six consecutive weeks.
When you’re feeling down, play this and your body will start moving on its own—it’s a surefire way to recharge with positive energy.
RelevantLil Uzi Vert
Rapper Lil Uzi Vert from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—also known for their forehead tattoo and genderless fashion—has released their first project since going independent in November 2025.
The work stands out with a back-to-basics, aggressive sound.
It carries a bold message in which Uzi proclaims themselves a key figure in the scene, responding to voices that question their influence.
Although they’ve scored hits in the past with albums like Luv Is Rage 2, this single marks a new beginning timed with their departure from a major label, signaling a strong will to start fresh.
It’s an energetic track you’ll want to play while driving or whenever you need a boost.
Rumble RockKip Tyler
Kip Tyler, a hidden key figure in the rockabilly scene.
Leading a group whose members would later become famed studio musicians, he enjoyed a cult following in 1950s Los Angeles.
The instrumental performance of theirs I’d like to highlight is Rumble Rock.
Released in November 1958 as the B-side of a single, it’s a track where wild saxophone and a heavy rhythm resound.
Jim Horn’s fierce playing leaves a strong impression, and even without lyrics it exudes a rebellious, dangerous aura.
It’s an irresistible sound for anyone wanting to feel the roots of garage rock and psychobilly.
Be sure to check it out.
RiftGood Kid
Good Kid is a five-piece indie rock band from Toronto, Canada, with all members having backgrounds as programmers.
They’ve gained attention with their songs featured in games like Fortnite, and in November 2025 they released the single “Rift.” Unlike their previous brisk power-pop, this track is a grand, emotional rock tune inspired by Frodo from The Lord of the Rings, themed around letting go of obsession.
Fresh off a memorable Juno Awards nomination, the band ventures into new territory, delivering a dramatic, genre-spanning progression that’s truly overwhelming.
It’s a song best enjoyed on a night when you want to immerse yourself in its narrative lyrics and take time to reflect on your inner self.

Rodl GlideOneohtrix Point Never
Based in Brooklyn, Daniel Lopatin moves freely across scenes from film scores to hyperpop.
Under the name Oneohtrix Point Never, his album Tranquilizer, released in November 2025, includes a track that revives the echoes of ’90s techno for the present day.
Its structure is striking: it abruptly morphs from serene ambient into a hypnotic rave beat.
Using a sample CD—once lost from the Internet Archive—as raw material, this experimental piece explores themes of memory and disappearance.
The progression that guides the listener from meditative stillness to club-like euphoria deftly evokes the sensation of shuttling between artificial tranquility and the buzz of reality.
It’s recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in sound away from everyday noise, or who wish to explore the boundary between ambient and dance music.
