The Second Artist Release For Rhythm and Vines is Here
A freewheeling party rapper, some electronic heavyweights, a hypnotic rock 'n' roll band, and some contestants from X Factor NZ.
Already offering up a bit of nostalgia, a little bit of trap, music to swoon to, and some tropical house with their first artist release, Rhythm and Vines' second haul of acts continues to push the limits of genre definition with a freewheeling party rapper, some electronic heavyweights, a hypnotic rock 'n' roll band, and some contestants from X Factor
