Hip-hop Artist N I K O Shares New Single “Anxiety: A Late Night”
One artist flying under the radar is bedroom hip-hop artist N I K O. With just four singles out, and a small yet loyal community of 50 monthly Spotify listeners, the Philadelphia-based artist has found his voice and is a diamond in the rough. On his new single “Anxiety: A Late Night”, the musician interweaves R&B, soul, hip-hop, and engaging production for a song that explores the introspection that follows a bad break-up.
About the song, N I K O shares:
“Never trust your thoughts after 9pm” – A quote that holds meaning to most of us. This song is about the late night thoughts that you get when you are going through a bad ending or a toxic relationship. The racing of the mind, the assumptions, the lies, the self talks, and the agonizing pain that one feels when they are alone with their thoughts. Late Nights dives into a first person experience of the what it truly is to have anxiety in a relationship”.
Elements of Kid Cudi, Earl Sweatshirt, and Mac Miller come together for a modern, late-night anthem that showcases N I K O’s ear-pleasing vocal and rap abilities.
