2 Get You Thru The Rain - EP

PnB Rock kept something of a low profile after 2019’s TrapStar Turnt PopStar, but it’s not like his musical relationships suffered for it. The opening song on the Philly crooner’s 2 Get You Thru the Rain EP—PnB Rock’s first release since TrapStar—features none other than two of Atlanta’s most in-demand MCs, Young Thug and Lil Baby. They are, to be clear, the only credited features on the EP, but that's a heck of a way to reintroduce yourself to the listening public. The remainder of the EP is an extension of that reintroduction, Rock delivering his signature brand of street-tinged R&B across odes to the women in his life (“You Got Me,” “That’s My Bad”), a song exalting the romantic powers of weed (“HIGH”), and a meditation on the friends and family he’s had to say goodbye to (“Lost U 2 Da Game”). It’s unclear what Rock means when he alludes to getting us Thru the Rain, but if inclement weather is what it takes to get more PnB Rock music, let’s get this guy on a plane to Seattle.
