"Rental" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American hip hop boy band Brockhampton, released on December 15, 2017, as a single from their third studio album Saturation III (2017).
"Rental" is a pop-oriented song that features melodic performances from Kevin Abstract, Dom McLennon and Matt Champion,[1] with synthesizers and 808s in the instrumental,[2] which also has a recurring beeping during the chorus.
Veronica Irwin of The Quietus commented the song "deserves recognition for the contrast between melodic fuzzy synths and crisp tapping 808s". In a review of Saturation III, Hypebeast wrote the song "has the best deployment of autotune on the album, especially on Mclennon's verse."
Variety placed "Rental" at number ten on their list of Brockhampton's 15 best songs.[3]
The music video was directed by Kevin Abstract and filmed in Brooklyn, New York.[4] It opens with Robert Ontenient in a bathtub eating a banana and announcing the end of the Saturation trilogy,[5] and sees Brockhampton members hanging around in various locations.[6]
