With a relentless work ethic and an undeniable hunger for lyrical dominance, Sacramento’s own Showtime Ramon is back with Stunner—a track that fuses raw energy with intricate wordplay. Fresh off the momentum of his January EP Pressure, this latest drop is both a Valentine’s Day surprise and a flex of lyrical prowess, packed with wrestling references and a lo-fi, drumless production that lets his bars take center stage.
Produced by ProjectPorter, a Brooklyn-based beat architect, Stunner breaks away from conventional hip-hop templates, delivering an off-kilter, atmospheric soundscape. The absence of drums forces the listener to focus on Ramon’s sharp flow, metaphor-heavy punchlines, and confident delivery. Inspired by Stone Cold Steve Austin, the track lives up to its namesake—hitting hard, taking no prisoners, and showcasing a competitive spirit that makes it stand out in today’s scene.
One of the most impressive things about Showtime Ramon is his consistency. As a DIY artist, he writes, records, and engineers his own music, proving that independent artists can carve their own lane without major backing. Since 2020, he’s collaborated with notable names like Chuuwee, Trizz, Sir Michael Rocks (The Cool Kids), Young L (The Pack), and Lil B The Based God—an impressive list that speaks to his credibility in underground hip-hop circles. With over 20 projects under his belt and an upcoming collaborative album set for release on February 28, 2025, Showtime shows no signs of slowing down.
For fans of sharp lyricism, wrestling culture references, and experimental production, Stunner is a must-listen. Whether you’re familiar with Showtime Ramon’s extensive catalog or just discovering him through this release, his ability to merge personal inspiration with competitive energy makes for an engaging listening experience.
