NIKO IS - "Meet Me in the Future" [prod. Thanks Joey]

NIKO IS has a new album on the way so take a moment to send your praises to whatever Higher Power you believe in.

And then prepare yourself for the chilluminated ride that is "Meet Me in the Future", because NIKO's latest is an absolute trip. From start to finish - as he's been doing for as long as he's been hitting your ears with his art - the best hair in the biz proves once again just how good with the energy he actually is.

You would be hard pressed to find an artist in any genre of music that consistently comes through with such a cool, confident and smooth delivery. The world traveling and Florida-based NIKO has an unmatched ability to fill a track with content that is seemingly all over the place but somehow presented in such a clear and distinguished manner.

Switching up languages throughout the song, NIKO IS demonstrates exactly what he means when he proclaims that vibes don't lie. As you listen, even if you don't know what he's saying, the energy brought forth throughout the three and a half minute "Meet Me in the Future" guides you where you need to go in order to experience the music as NIKO intends. Between verses, the listener is on the receiving end of some sultry vocals and even a little call and response. There's such a beautiful collection of culture taking place here, it will leave you running the track back to catch the same energy time and time again.

And this is not with out serious props to Thanks Joey, the man behind quite a few of NIKO's rappitzers. With his own stellar new project out, Joey makes sure to give his family the cream of the crop, lacing NIKO's delivery with some of the most unique production I've heard in recent memory. I mean, like, what even is this? Thanks Joey sat in the studio and cooked up some elegant futuristic instrumentation that is so rooted in a plethora of cultural vibes. Man, get your dancing shoes out for this one.

This is the type of music that warms your soul and opens your mind. It's feel good and thought provoking. Vibes on vibes on vibes. Chill recognize chill.

UNIKO is on the way.

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older. It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being.

While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,

And, of course, it's always best to learn first hand, through experience, rather than through second hand story telling. Let's be honest, someone can drop knowledge on you time and time again but we, as humans, have a tendency to ignore that wisdom unless the Universe hits us with some personal experience. Regardless, on "Your Hands", Raz Simone takes it upon himself to share his experience with anyone willing to listen - not necessarily to benefit the listener, but to put into perspective his D.T.A. ( don't trust anyone) mentality. Shortly after the release of "Your Hands", Raz tweeted the following: "I genuinely don't expect a thing from another person but betrayal. I still keep hope and love for everyone tho. More and more from afar." While this may come across as a negative, pessimis
