28 November 2025 – Russ isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of his musicality and his emotional openness, and it all comes together in his newest release, ‘Clue’. A track that bridges the gap between perception and reality, encouraging the listeners to think about what lies beneath the surface. It’s a message that perfectly blends with Russ’ authenticity and his ability to combine raw emotion with music. ‘Clue’ is available now on all streaming platforms.
‘‘Clue’ unlocks a new chapter for Russ, the multi-platinum singer, rapper, and producer. It highlights his identity as an independent artist, one that showcases his cross-genre talent and his willingness to confront life’s lessons head-on. The track perfectly captures his philosophical edge and multi-style creativity. It dives into the realities behind success, offering listeners a raw and unfiltered look into his journey.
As Russ puts it: “It’s a message to those who think they understand this life from the outside. The responsibility, the internal battles, the pressure – all the things no one ever sees. People focus on the results, but they rarely acknowledge what happens beneath the surface. This project speaks to the gap between what the world assumes my life looks like and what it has truly cost me. It also challenges the outdated idea that vulnerability makes men weak.”
‘Clue’ is part of Russ’ deluxe album roll-out, with all the songs being released individually as singles. Earlier releases from the deluxe project include tracks like ‘Recognize’ featuring Jessie Blakemore and ‘Shut Me Up’ with Big Sean, with more singles set to drop in the lead-up to the full deluxe album release.
