NIKO IS
NIKO IS has been wave making in Orlando, by way of Brazil, since the not so distant year of 2012, but in recent history he has come into his own with some help from Talib Kweli and his indie label Javotti Media. From the mixtape Chill Cosby to debut album Brutus, Niko has garnered features from the likes of Action Bronson, and continuously shines with clever bars and skillful production selecting. A look inside the life and mind of the central Florida resident on the Colours of the Culture web series shines light on why he is positioned for global recognition and success. – Chiefer Adam
