Rapp’s music has consisted of solo tracks with no features, however, in her hit “Tummy Hurts” she collaborated with the talented Coco Jones in its remixed version, which has since been a commercial success. On the topic of crowd-favorite partnerships, she headed into the studio with rapper & singer, Megan Thee Stallion for “Not My Fault”, one of the feature tracks for the Mean Girls soundtrack.
More recently has she accompanied the two bodies of work with consistent live shows where her background in show-business makes for an authentic stage presence. The comfort Renée feels onstage leads us to feel as though you’re seeing her in her true safe space. She commands the floor, exudes confidence, and interacts with fans individually.
Renée has continued to remain her authentic self within her music, personality, and performances by creating a more interpersonal connection with her fans and openly discussing taboo topics in society. Furthermore, she even guest starred on the Jay Shetty podcast where she uncovered her traumatic past, persevering through immediate success, and navigating sexuality. Her candidness brings with it an energy that new fans are drawn towards and old fans can feel even more connected to.
