Listen to Daz Rinko's Spectacular Sounding, Amusingly Named “Boo-Boo Kisses”

Off his upcoming EP that delves into what it means to be happy as a black man.

Summer's here and Daz Rinko 's newest single "Boo-Boo Kisses" is the perfect upbeat record to segue into the sunny days ahead. The track is as light and refreshing as the Memphis artist playfully delivers his verses over an up-tempo SPRILL-produced beat. "The story behind "Boo-Boo Kisses" is basically a scrub meeting the girl of his dreams. He's tryna get to know her all while convincing her that he's gonna be something great", shares the artist over email.

Rinko is noted for his genre-blending style in the past to produce his records. He mentions, "I feel like my ability to genre bend helps me appeal to way more audiences than I would if I just stuck to one genre. It also makes the songwriting process more fun." With an upcoming EP on the way, says Rinko of its themes, "It touches on a number of topics from living in Memphis, the highs and lows of love, religion, politics, and what it means to be happy as a black man." Listen to the cut off the pending project below.
