I Rhyme Quick by Cloonee, Nice & Smooth

At this point, Cloonee records don't wait for release day to take on a life of their own. By the time "I Rhyme Quick" officially arrives, the track has already spent a year and a half circulating in clips, on fan pages, in festival videos, and in ID requests, growing from an unreleased favorite into one of the most talked-about unreleased cuts in his catalog. Built around the unmistakable vocals from Nice & Smooth's iconic "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow," the record has generated spiraling hype online and become a firm fixture in sets from Cloonee and a growing list of DJs, including Prospa, SOSA, and Jamie Jones.

Rather than leaning heavily on the original, "I Rhyme Quick" keeps the sample moving inside Cloonee's own sound: heavy low-end that stays in motion, tight drums that pack a punch, and just enough room for the vocal to keep reintroducing itself and tunneling back into the groove. The result is a record that feels instantly familiar while still carrying the kind of tension and drivel that has pushed his sound far beyond the underground rooms where it first took shape.

Now sitting at more than 9 million monthly Spotify listeners, Cloonee has entered a different level of visibility without losing the connection to the dancefloor that built his reputation in the first place. Recent releases in "One Question," "Free Your Mind" alongside Prospa, "How Deep Are Your Dreams," "XTC" have added to 2024's "Stephanie" and reinforced his position as one of the defining names in global house music, while sharp increases across streaming and socials reflect just how quickly his international audience continues to surge. Alongside major editorial backing and widespread industry support, the UK-born, LA-based artist has become one of the few figures capable of moving seamlessly between underground credibility, viral traction, and genuine global demand.
