DMV standout Joony taps Bay Area icon Larry June and rising R&B star Isaiah Falls for their effortlessly smooth new single, “PIMPIN” on Red Bull Records/EVGLE/211. The track is a masterclass in genre-blending: laid-back production, slick lyricism, and soul connect to create a slow-burner that feels tailor-made for late night drives down PCH.
Led by a buttery hook from the “Florida Baby” riser and strengthened by ultra player verses from Joony and Larry June, “PIMPIN” sees all three artists delivering peak performances. While the track still taps into familiar hip-hop themes, each voice brings a fresh perspective, making this an instant add for any playlist featuring vibey summer songs or after-hours jams.
Regarding the collaboration, Joony shared, “Since Isaiah's style leans more into R&B, and my music typically has that laid-back, confident vibe, we knew we wanted to create something with a mix of suave, sexy, and cool energy. We both sat down and got to work on it. I let Isaiah do his thing on the hook, and then I came in right after with that same swagger. A few months later, I sent the track to Larry June, and he vibed with it right away. He sent the record back to me almost immediately, and that was that—everything fell into place. The lyrics, while a bit bold, were meant to carry assertiveness with a hint of humor and wit. We wanted it to feel playful yet confident.”
“PIMPIN” also marks a key moment in Joony’s evolving rollout. While his first two singles of the year – “DOPA(MINE)” and “NO CHILL” – were solo efforts, this latest drop ushers in a collaborative chapter that hints at the direction of his forthcoming album this year. Behind the scenes, Joony’s momentum has only grown, securing credits alongside the likes of Brent Faiyaz, Blxst, Destin Conrad, and Ty Dolla $ign, including a standout co-write on Ty’s recent single “ALL IN,” and a featured contribution to Destin Conrad’s focus track “FMU!” off the LOVE ON DIGITAL LP.
With “PIMPIN,” Joony levels up once again, proving that he’s not just teasing fans with new material, he’s setting the tone. Stream it now and stay tapped in for more from Joony as his name continues to heat up.
