"Rascal" is a song recorded by American singer and rapperRMR. It was released as a single on February 26, 2020, and is included on the EPDrug Dealing Is a Lost Art.[3][4]
The song was compared toLil Nas X'sGrammy-winning single "Old Town Road", being called the song's "second coming",[5] which fused hip hop and country music.[3] The instrumental is a piano cover of "Bless the Broken Road", a song made famous byRascal Flatts that was first recorded by theNitty Gritty Dirt Band while interpolating the band's song "These Days" in the intro.[6]
In June 2020, a remix of the song featuring rapperYoung Thug was also released.
The music video of the song was released to YouTube on February 26, 2020, exhibiting irony in the audio and video, as the video shows RMR and his crew wearing ski masks and holding firearms, appearing in a ruffian-like manner, with ballad music.[7] The video was described as a typical "trap music video with all the classic tropes",[8] andUproxx called it "a typical underground rap clip, with a squad of menacing-looking, ski-masked goons mugging the camera and brandishing all sorts of illegal-looking firearms."[5]
