RJmrLA Doubles Down on West Coast Lineage with ‘MR. LA II’
RJmrLA returns with MR. LA II, a sequel to the 2017 project that solidified his position as a central architect of modern Los Angeles rap. While the landscape of the city’s sound has shifted toward darker, more minimalist textures, RJ remains committed to the high-energy, bounce-heavy foundations that defined the 400 Summers era. The new set features a curated cross-section of the city, including Ty Dolla $ign, The Game, and Jay Worthy, ensuring the record functions as both a victory lap and a reaffirmation of his regional authority. His recent cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s “Squabble Up” video wasn't just a visual nod; it served as a reminder of RJ’s permanence in the West Coast ecosystem. MR. LA II avoids the trap of chasing national trends, instead leaning into the polished, sun-drenched street anthems that have made him a staple in California car stereos for over a decade. It is a project built on consistency, proving that RJ’s ear for production and local storytelling hasn't lost its edge.
