NASHVILLE, TN (April 19, 2024) — River House Artists’ jiggy buckaroo and rising rap sensation Ryan Charles released his latest track, “Heartbreak Rodeo,” available everywhere now. With his signature Western flair, Charles fuses a fresh hip-hop sound with a country perspective, bringing the cowboy lifestyle to the rap scene. The song, a bop about getting your heart broken, will have the internet singing along in no time. The Jiggy Buckaroo has once again proven his prowess in delivering his signature twangy lyrics with the sounds of 2000s rap. Charles is also the master at presenting visuals that pair perfectly with his songs, and “Heartbreak Rodeo” is no exception. A cinematic official video, directed by Emma Kate Golden, accompanies the release.
“Heartbreak Rodeo is the song we all hum, heartbroken on the back of a horse, just trying to find some light,” says Charles.
Last year, Charles released a twangy banger of a track called “Turquoise Stones” accompanied by a stunning visual as well as his viral hit, “Cold Beer Diet,” which garnered attention from Lyrical Lemonade, XXL, The Source, Complex, and BET Jams. Earlier this year, his viral “New Boot Goofin’” video garnered over 9 million views and grew his social media channels by over 106,000 followers within a month. Charles has been on tour opening for country acts like fellow Wyoming native Ian Munsick, Breland, and hip-hop sensation Atlus. Charles got his start on the inaugural season of American Song Contest, becoming a fan favorite with his original country-rap song “New Boot Goofin’.” The song, paired with Charles’s charismatic style, caught the attention of rap legend and show host Snoop Dogg. He also landed a coveted appearance on the Bobby Bones Show after the radio personality DM’d him on Instagram after seeing his performance on the show.
