As the year draws to a close, we’ve been blessed with an incredible array of music releases. Lil Uzi Vert, Kenny Mason, Cordae, and Playboi Carti have all dropped their latest projects, and there’s even a potential release from Carti in the fourth quarter. But that’s not all – NIKOWOODYEAR has gifted us a sneak peek of his upcoming project, “ENROUTE .!”, with a three-track EP titled “WHILE WE WAIT .!”. This EP truly showcases his artistic growth and embodies his unique sound.
In terms of production, NIKO’s collaboration with renowned producers enhances his sound, creating a harmonious blend like peanut butter and jelly. We’re introduced to three captivating tracks: “PLAYA .!” “2 LATE .!” and my personal favorite, “HERON PRESTON .!” Having previewed “HERON PRESTON .!” on Instagram, I was instantly captivated by the new sound NIKO has unveiled, showcasing his remarkable versatility. Joining NIKO on this project is a well-known collaborator, Skreet2x, who graces “2 LATE .!” For those unfamiliar, these two musical maestros are akin to Kobe and Shaq at their peak when they collaborate.
As we patiently wait for the announcement of “ENROUTE .!”, the anticipation continues to grow. NIKO has been teasing this project for several months, sharing snippets and expanding his fanbase in the process. Here’s what NIKO has to say about his upcoming project:
“ENROUTE .! is not for the traditional underground rap listener at all. after the success of Project Neon and a summer full of momentum, I gained a lot of new eyes on me. I slowed everything down to take my time on this body of work. I want everyone to see what i’m capable of doing and where i belong in this industry. for that reason, I did everything on this project but play it safe.”
As I mentioned previously, NIKOWOODYEAR will be a household name soon enough and I truly believe that “ENROUTE .!” will separate him from the rest. With garnering co-signs from Trippie Redd and working with notable artists. As mentioned in articles prior, NIKO will be on top here soon so wind down and immerse yourself in his art.
