With Keys Up Front
Dallas-born rjtheweirdo continues his rollout with “the perfect one,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, a collaboration that builds out of his connection to EZMNY Records—the artist-development imprint co-founded by Ty Dolla $ign and Shawn Barron in partnership with Create Music Group. With keys up front, the track stands out by staying cool and keeping things direct, giving RJ’s voice the space to shine while leaning into the song’s accountability and the reality of showing up rather than avoiding it. There’s a sense of control in how it unfolds, with nothing pushed too far and everything sitting where it needs to, while Ty Dolla $ign fits into that dynamic without shifting the tone.
The video, directed by Jordan Pitts, follows the same approach. Shot in black and white across Los Angeles—a strong visual choice for the track—it stays close and understated, moving through the city with a tighter frame that keeps the focus on RJ as moments come and go. It avoids overplaying the concept, letting pacing and small details carry things without forcing a narrative. Another one that keeps the momentum going.
