NCT’s leader Taeyong has officially returned with his highly anticipated digital single “Rock Solid (Feat. Anderson .Paak)”, released on April 17, 2026, at 1 PM KST. The full music video is now available on SMTOWN’s YouTube channel, delivering exactly what fans hoped for — a stylish, high-energy hip-hop track produced by Dem Jointz, packed with retro 90s/2000s vibes, groovy basslines, and Taeyong’s signature sharp rap flow.
The MV showcases Taeyong’s charismatic visuals in glamorous, rebellious settings — from boat scenes to rock-band energy — while blending confident swagger with fun, money-throwing moments. Anderson .Paak adds his smooth, dynamic vocals and rhythm, creating a fresh collaboration that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. The track’s addictive “INCOMING” tag and bold hook (“you already know I’m rock solid”) emphasize resilience, self-assurance, and Taeyong’s determination to protect his artistry after 20 months of military service in the Navy.
This release marks Taeyong’s first solo music since his discharge in late 2025 and serves as a strong statement during NCT’s 10th anniversary celebrations. It also builds anticipation for his upcoming full album in May 2026.
With its infectious groove, stylish aesthetics, and star power, “Rock Solid” is already being called a certified banger and potential Song of the Year contender by early listeners. Taeyong continues to prove why he remains one of K-pop’s most versatile and innovative artists.
