NIKO IS, the gemini from the City of God and Javotti Media ground stomper is fresh off of another hip hop high after a critically acclaimed Alchemist produced track by Talib Kweli hit the net, featuring Ab Soul and himself. As today marks the one year anniversary of his Javotti Media debut album, Brutus, NIKO IS has blessed the people at CitrusRap with a premiere for this late winter. With “Soak Up The Hustle” NIKO IS gives a head bobbing lyrical onslaught over this smooth and nostalgic instrumental provided by King Carlow. A perfect track for the youth that tantalizes the part of our brain that craves genuine rhythm and poetry combined. Rapping vivid circles around today’s “rappers” like the Rio Olympic logo. Some may call it a reach, but NIKO IS surely has the potential AND ability to be to Florida what Kendrick is to California. If you don’t believe these words, just press play. CitrusRap loves proving doubters wrong.
