Yoni

Sacramento’s Yoni has carved out his own lane in the modern rap landscape — and his new single Runaway proves just how effortlessly he can balance mood, melody, and flow. Out October 20 via TRASH, the track is a hazy fusion of R&B smoothness and island-infused rap vibes, the kind of song that makes you want to kick back and let the sun melt into the horizon.

“The songwriting and the vocal ability are both standouts,” wrote grind, and that couldn’t be truer here. Runaway drifts in on gentle, beachy guitars and low-end percussion that feels almost aquatic, giving Yoni’s understated delivery a lush sonic bed to glide across. There’s something distinctly “Drake on vacation” about it — the vulnerability is there, but it’s wrapped in warmth, sand, and salt air.

Yoni’s sound is intimate but cinematic, quietly confident, and built around vibe rather than volume. As Noise NYC’s Joe Laresca put it, “Yoni is the laidback hero we’ve been waiting to champion.” Runaway cements that status — it’s a mellow anthem for late nights, long drives, and moments when you just need to breathe.
