Enigmatic Rapper NiVo Drops New Single: and I know

NYC-based rapper NiVo has today released a new single: and I knowNiVo showcases his knack for melodies on the track, crooning over a playfully refined trap beat. NiVo makes expert use of autotune and reverb, allowing his vocals to take center stage in the mix.

and I know revolves around themes of transparency and communication. NiVo’s noticed how women have started to treat him differently, as his music career evolves. He makes it clear that he’s always going to be straight-up with his intentions and he expects his love interests to do the same.

“And I know is for anyone who has communication issues with a potential partner. It’s meant to just encourage people to stop caring so much and just cut to the point!” 

and I know is NiVo’s second release of September, having released Back In My Back just a few weeks prior. NiVo is part of the NYC/Dubai-based record label and collective Nuit Sans Fin.

Lyrics:
These nights
You know what they go like
Shots up I forget about the whole time
dollar bills while she shake it under strobe lights
Wait until we take it on the road like

I’m afraid of me
I’m afraid of you
I got lanes to pick
I got lanes to choose
So much left to get
So much left to lose
I’m just trying to live
Trying to find a mood for it

I’m just trying to find that shift roll right
Im not dealing wit the hype
I don’t fuck with your vibe
Take that to the other side
I don’t know
I don’t know
I just end up like a ghost
Some days
Some nights
I prefer to be alone

When I take the tone I go away
Maybe you can pull me close and feel a way
I just need to find a little space
ay
You know how I’m always wide awake
Finna slay

These nights
You know what they go like
Shots up I forget about the whole time
dollar bills while she shake it under strobe lights
Wait until we take it on the road like

I’m afraid of me
I’m afraid of you
I got lanes to pick
I got lanes to choose
So much left to get
So much left to lose
I’m just trying to live
Trying to find a mood for it
I’m afraid of me
I’m afraid of you
I got lanes to pick
I got lanes to choose
So much left to get
So much left to lose
I’m just trying to live
Trying to find a mood for it

Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it
Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it
Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it
Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it

Got me up
Make it roll
Over ice
Paper throw
Sip it slow
Find a mode
Hit the highs
Hit the lows
I’m sorry
I’m so sorry
I know I never knew
Try to find a better me
Try to find a better you
Ay

When I take the tone I go away
Maybe you can pull me close and feel a way
I just need to find a little space
ay
You know how I’m always wide awake
Finna slay

These nights
You know what they go like
Shots up I forget about the whole time
dollar bills while she shake it under strobe lights
Wait until we take it on the road like

I’m afraid of me
I’m afraid of you
I got lanes to pick
I got lanes to choose
So much left to get
So much left to lose
I’m just trying to live
Trying to find a mood for it
I’m afraid of me
I’m afraid of you
I got lanes to pick
I got lanes to choose
So much left to get
So much left to lose
I’m just trying to live
Trying to find a mood for it

Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it
Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it
Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it
Try to find a mood
Try to find a mood for it

Lido & Santell – The Passion Project (EP)

Lido has done it again. This project is incredibly fun and takes me back to the days I would stay up listening to the “Hot Love Jams” on Hot105 (104.7 fm) in Merced during my Jr. High years. This will be on repeat for a while. More info down below.

Magnetic Mag’s TOP 10 HIP HOP & R&B TRACKS OF THE WEEK – 10.23.15

Magnetic Mag’s TOP 10 HIP HOP & R&B TRACKS OF THE WEEK – 10.23.15

Screen shot 2015-10-23 at 10.34.40 PM

My new weekly chart over at Magnetic Mag is now live. If you follow AlwaysHustle then you probably have already heard most of these tracks but there should always be a few new gems on Magnetic as I’m looking to post a variety of Hip hop and R&B songs that may be a little more mainstream than what I might post over here. This first chart is still pretty underground/independent but things should get interesting very soon. Enjoy!
