SOB x RBE Share First New Song In Seven Years “Ten Summers”
SOB x RBE have released “Ten Summers”, their first new song in seven years, marking a reunion for remaining members Yhung T.O., DaBoii and Slimmy B. The track signals a return for the Vallejo rap group after its turbulent split following 2019’s Strictly Only Brothers, revisiting their energetic Bay Area sound with a more focused, celebratory tone.
The group formed in 2017 when two teenage Vallejo duos combined and soon appeared on Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther soundtrack in 2018. “Ten Summers” celebrates roughly a decade since their formation over a funky Bay Area beat, while its Sebastian Santiago-directed video features luxury cars and a closing toast from E-40; it is out now through EMPIRE. Former member Lul G, arrested for murder in 2019 and sentenced to 21 years in prison in 2023, is not directly addressed in the song.
In short
- SOB x RBE return with their first single in seven years.
- “Ten Summers” celebrates the group’s decade-long history.
- E-40 appears in the new music video.
