NIKO IS - "COCA" [prod. Thanks Joey] (Video)


It's become trendy for individuals to flex on social media about how they're living their best life. But, because socials are the flex zones, seldom are these people actually out making the most of their physical existence here on Earth.

Florida-by-way-of-Brasil artist NIKO IS does not need to flex for the double taps. Fresh off the release of UNIKO, his sophomore full-length, the best hair in the biz is truly traveling the world, doing what he loves, living his best life. And his latest visual experience for the Thanks Joey-produced "COCA" helps to capture the raw, unfiltered essence of dope that is NIKO's journey and life.

Channeling the late, great Hunter S. Thompson with some welcomed Fear and Loathing energy, NIKO and Joey find a way to capture their audio dopeness in visual form. And the result is an aesthetically enchanting music video that leaves the viewer feeling as though they were along for the ride/trip/adventure.

Vibes don't lie and "COCA" is a vibe personified, the combination of Joey's production and NIKO's delivery encompassing the listener in a comforting, warm embrace. As has become somewhat of an expectation, the musical offering of these Colours cohorts will leave your mind journeying through the cosmos while your feet are making a dance floor out of whatever surface they're planted upon. 

The Narcy-directed visual catches the thematic vibe change that accompanies the sonic switch presented through Thanks Joey's instrumentation. We travel through light and darkness throughout "COCA", but it's good energy and love all the way through.

UNIKO, which was entirely produced by Thanks Joey, is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music.

Hit play to turn on, tune in and vibe out with NIKO below.

Raz Simone - "Clout" [prod. Anthony Danza] (Video)

Fresh off the heels of another trip around the sun, Raz Simone comes through with his first visuals of 2018. In typical Raz fashion, the Black Umbrella founder holds nothing back on "Clout", addressing a myriad of subject matter with a confidently calm yet simultaneously aggressive delivery. Simone has always been one of my favorite artists to cover, thanks in large part to the layered presentation of his content. With "Clout", an essay could be composed on both the track itself and the accompanying video - while both seem almost overly simple upon first glance/listen, the song and video cover a lot of ground over the course of five and a half minutes. The visuals are split between two backdrops - Raz being "studied" in a research facility and Raz rapping in the street. The vibe of the production on "Clout" syncs up perfectly with the dreary, simple visual of Simone in the rainy streets...appropriately carrying a black umbrella. It's...

Grieves - "Let It Through" (Video)

In September, Grieves liberated new music for the first time since releasing his  Running Wild album in 2017 and now the Rhymesayers Entertainment artist comes through with the official visual treatment for "Let It Through". The single denotes both the artistic range of Grieves and the personal growth and self-discovery the wordsmith has been experiencing over the course of his journey here in the physical. Packed with relaxed melodies and a calmly delivered labyrinth of wordplay, the sentimental "Let It Through" is presented with a composed, collected and self-aware delivery. Grieves is experiencing a state of acceptance, finding peace with what is rather than attempting to swim against the current of life.  Throughout the record, one gets a sense that Grieves is learning from - and growing through - the chaos that has encapsulated and shaped his life. It's vital to recognize the importance of documenting the destruction if one desires to showcase the ...

Tobe Nwigwe - "Ode To Fat" (feat. David Michael Wyatt) [prod. LaNell Grant] (Video)

Love, of course, is not an easy road to travel. But, when the love is real and when the love is divine, all the challenges, hardships and trials prove to be worth it. Real love - true love - always prevails. As the visual descends from the Heavens, Tobe Nwigwe begins the dulcet delivery of his prose. With a stoic demeanor, he stands with his Queen, as an enchanting dance installment takes place in the field upon which they stand. Nwigwe chronicles the journey that is his soul connection with Fat while the camera pans out. With "Ode To Fat", Tobe Nwigwe reveals the blessing from God that is the pregnancy of his wife. And this, he states, is "the most genuine form of happiness [he's] felt." From there, the latest #getTWISTEDsundays release is like an angelic embrace from the parents-to-be, the words of Nwigwe containing such an incomparable purity and bliss that it's near impossible not to catch goosebumps from this release. Saturated with artistic exp...
