Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington has been gone for almost six years now, but his family are continuing to honor his musical legacy. The late nu-metal icon left behind six children when he died in 2017, and now his 21-year-old son Draven Bennington has launched a new musical endeavor of his own called RVRND.
Yesterday (April 25th), Draven dropped his debut solo song, “F_w_Me,” a bare-bones rap track with an icy beat and a chill yet confident vocal delivery.
Previously, Draven fronted and played rhythm guitar in an alt-metal band called Chaos, but from the sounds of the first RVRND track, this is a much different musical affair. Take a listen to “F_w_Me” above via YouTube.
Notably, the song is also featured in a new MTV series called Family Legacy that follows the lives of children whose parents are famous musicians. RVRND’s first EP is tentatively scheduled for an August release date.
