Back with his latest single accompanied by a visual, Saint James Jr. walks us through “la Rué” (the streets) as he spits impeccably on this classic instrumental. It’s a work of art and showcases his lyrical prowess in a way that continues to display the rising artists best efforts.
Marrying the silky beat with witty and introspective rhymes, Saint lyrically reflects on loss, his journey to finding his artistic crew in Luxembourg, as well as showcasing his lethal rapping dexterity on the new record.
“It’s about me being back on road. What lead me to take the pilgrimage and find my people musically and artistically,” he told REMIXD Magazine about the meaning of the song. “I lived in Luxembourg before & always grow well as an artist in a different culture.”
The song gets deeper than rap at a point when the multi-faceted artist chooses to recall the demise of his niece during the pandemic, a moment he uses for strength and resolve musically:
“I challenged myself being vulnerable. By sharing that I lost my niece during the pandemic was a moment for me – showing my family I’m still hurting but fighting on for not only myself but for the family” he shared with us.
The track features a stellar music video directed by Ruben Duarte Pires, produced by Tino OG, and the beat by Serious Beats.
“The team is really respected. I appreciate them foreal foreal” Saint revealed to REMIXD Mag.

Lyrics:
La Rue
I’m on la Rue ( 3x )
Catch me on la Rue
Bus 192
Tell you What It do
Luxembourg City shoot
Feeling like the Louve
A Wildin night with Crew
Eating fettachine with the suits
Damn I’m feeling Bouge
Saumur Crystal stew Making moves
Strip Club Getting loose
Damn I’m on la Rue
This Sandro
Paris where the Vangos
Hood but he handsome
That’s the brand though
Fitted black feeling Hansel
Model pics is ransom
Milan fashion fandom
My pace steady
Stance coo
I’m on la Rue
Nah fuck ya crew
Yea the system too
We the Crabs in stew
Violent acts
Just tryin to move
They pick and choose
Rather escape than take ya mans estate
So I’m on la rue
I loss my niece this can’t be true
Wonder nights like what to do
Man My life is screwed Pray to God
To see my mental through Damn I feel I lose
My music brewTo see my people through
I risk it all for few
I see imitates so I shake
I stick and move
A fickle feud
I see the snakes intrude
You fuckin fools
I’m on la Rue
I grind
I grew
Escaped the cube
they put you too
Conscious thoughts
Is what I put you through
This knowledge free
You feel the stream exude
My flow
so issue
can’t fit the rule
It’s so uncoo
To have to fake
For Who?
A nigga gone be who He be
My trend set the mood
Ya tude unexcused
See the Corporate steal ya moves
So Across the pond I move
A nigga global coo
So I’m on la Rue
