Future Classic: Niko Is “Onda”

Hip-Hop

A great soul sample almost untouched and a good emcee telling his story… it seems like I can never get tired of that timeless formula! It’s exactly what we get here with this excellent cut from Rio de Janeiro native and Florida resident Niko Is.

Newly signed to Talib Kweli’s label Javotti and getting ready to drop is new project called “Brutus LP”, it’s easy to see that big things are coming for him this year.

Of course, nothing is reinvented here on this track. It may not really feel like a breath of fresh air but more like a good dose of warm sun…so go by the pool and enjoy!


Track taken from Kramos’ most recent edition of his “Fresh Taste” monthly mix series. Check it below.

Kramos

Since his parents bought him a used "Pyramid" mixer more than 20 years ago, Kramos has always been a fiend to discover new music in every format possible and put mixes together. His first love was hip hop, but his tastes are now more eclectic than ever. The monthly show "Fresh Taste" with his friend MC Tank Pumpin' is proof of that.
