Underground rap artist prettifun released "Scene" on August 14, the newest single off his upcoming project Pretti Loves U 2. HotNewHipHop's review pointed to the track's glitchy production, heavy layers of autotune and vocal melodies that jump around, calling it a tightly wound underground earworm.
On the song, prettifun keeps a rapid, playful energy throughout, rapping lines like "No to poppin' pill, that's my protocol" over the glitchy beat. HotNewHipHop singled out "Show packed out, look like Mardi Gras, this a celebration" as one of the track's quotable lyrics.
HotNewHipHop framed the track as evidence that prettifun fits squarely within the current underground rap sound, glitchy and autotune-heavy, while still standing out within it. The outlet went further, predicting he could become a mainstream name "in short order" if he keeps building on songs like this one.
"Scene" is not his first single this year. HotNewHipHop's own catalog of his songs shows prettifun following up "Workout," released in December 2025, with "Moon and the Stars" in May 2026, before now arriving at "Scene" ahead of the full project.
"Scene" is out now, one of the week's new hip-hop arrivals tracked on the release calendar, ahead of Pretti Loves U 2.
