Penomeco has never been one to play it safe. From the offbeat funk of “KK” to the heavy-lidded groove of Dry Flower, he’s consistently pushed against the grain of Korea’s ever-shifting hip-hop scene. But “My Chick”, the fifth track on his upcoming RNSSNC TAPE, lands with a different kind of force—less conceptual, more confrontational. It’s a chest-out, head-up anthem made for speakers that don’t flinch.
There’s no wasted motion here. The beat pulses with Afropop swagger and trap grit, giving Penomeco enough runway to flex, stumble, and switch lanes with deliberate chaos. His flow doesn’t so much ride the rhythm as shove it forward. There’s ego, there’s irony, but most of all, there’s presence. Penomeco doesn’t ask for the mic—he takes it.
Lil Cherry’s entrance hits like a spark plug thrown into an engine. She doesn’t mirror Penomeco’s cadence or energy; she burns it down and builds her own. Her verse is slippery, unbothered, and slightly unhinged, with lines that dart between Korean and English as fast as her tone shifts. “I could be mean, really mean,” she warns, but it never feels like a threat. It’s a warning to stay out of her lane.
The visualizer, which dropped alongside the single, feels more like an extension of the song’s pulse than an interpretation. Everything jitters and jerks in time with the low-end, glitchy rhythm, creating a claustrophobic kind of heat. The chemistry is real, but it’s volatile—built on sparks, not smoke.
“My Chick” isn’t here to seduce. It doesn’t care whether it’s liked or understood. It’s a flex track that lingers like a bruise—sharp, unapologetic, and fully self-aware. As Penomeco settles into this new era under his self-made label if i, the message is clear: he’s not waiting for permission anymore.
