People are concerned with names, labels, trap, rap, hip-hop, dancehall, I can’t bother with them things. I have always been doing different kinds of sounds and I will continue. Music is going through a change right now, people are blending and fusing, everybody wants to call it a name, but I just call it good music.”
“Like That” is another song highlighting Tarrus Riley ability to blend sounds and still keep his authenticity, while entertaining his wide demographic of fans. Currently set to headline Best of the Best Miami Music Fest 2021, Tarrus Riley is also gearing up for a few more releases later this year.
