Quincy Jamal's newest single, "Real Ones Remain," is a silent storm in a time when fast friendships and thin alliances rule the land. A dark and truthful account wrapped neatly in melody and soul, this Pop-Rap/Alternative Hip Hop track project is a personal retelling set to polished production.
Hailing from New Orleans but having come up between New Orleans, ATL, and Orlando, Quincy Jamal's journey has deeply woven into his sound. "Real Ones Remain" is an exhibition of the real life of someone who's seen the price of loyalty up close. Wrought with the clarity of someone who has experienced heartbreak, transition, and growth in spades, the record sees Quincy at his most vulnerable and, consequently, most powerful.
His delivery has a relaxed fire, a chill cadence that carries an emotional payload. You can hear influence from artists like Mozzy and Reason, but Quincy is carving out his lane. The beat is oozing with soulful instrumentation, and he keeps his consistency with the streetwise warmth he brings, which cuts deep. Every line feels deliberate, every word selected with the precision of someone who knows what loyalty looks like and what it costs. "Real Ones Remain" is a salute to those who have remained steady amid chaos and opted for truth when it wasn't comfortable. It's a timeless message, yet Quincy serves it through a new and satisfied voice.
Whether you're spinning around your city or daydreaming in your room, this one meets you where you are and pulls you close. Ideal for authentic rap playlists and lovers of introspective hip-hop that still maintains a street edge, "Real Ones Remain" is a reliable album from an act that looks bound for longevity. Quincy Jamal reminds us that the real ones never fold in a fake-filled world. And they always remain.
