Limited Edition of 1.000 copies on orange / black splattered 10" vinyl.

Following the success of his debut album Foto, Kota the Friend continues the momentum with the release of his latest project, Lyrics to Go, Vol. 1.

While Kota epitomizes what it means to be a true Brooklyn creative, honing his craft as a rapper, producer, photographer, and visual storyteller, Lyrics to Go, Vol. 1 exhibits that his contributions to the hip-hop landscape serve as the pinnacle to his varied creativity.

Carefully composed across a consistent, chillwave soundscape, Lyrics to Go, Vol. 1 calls attention to the dichotomy of life, and how it's perpetual obstacles tend to have a destabilizing impact on our mental health and conceptions of fulfillment. An ode to growth and staying power, "Lazy River" grapples with these themes of hardship until it seamlessly transitions into "She," a track that serves to showcase love as a glimmer of hope within the human psyche. While it is sonically coherent on its own, Kota's aesthetically warm, visual adaptation of "She" reinforces how the simplicities in life can also be the most rewarding.

Kota has made it apparent that the beautifully crafted 10-track project is more than just an audible experience - it's rooted in complex ideas and thoughtful interpretation across multiple mediums.

Limited Edition of 1.000 copies on white / blue splattered 10" vinyl.

Lyrically, Kota on Vol. 2 deals with one thing above all: himself. An amazing amount of insight into the soul of a young rapper. Regardless of whether the focus is on the future or the past, and regardless of whether the topics are more melancholic or lighter: Kota's attitude towards life is always positive.

That's just good, especially during lockdown times! Conclusion No hooks and short, personal verses - Kota makes music that is perfect for in between.

The other tracks alternate between organic and distorted beats. What they all have in common is that they contain a keyboard melody and convey a light-footed mood.

As the album title of Lyrics to GO, Vol. 2 promises: A small snack that you can consume on the side.

Kota The Friend, a native of Brooklyn, delivers a delightful dose of summer vibes with his latest album, "Protea." Comprising 16 tracks, the album showcases Kota's creative fusion of funk, hip-hop, house, and jazz, creating a kaleidoscopic musical experience.

According to Kota himself, "Protea" serves as a heartfelt love letter, expressing deep gratitude and admiration for the person who stood by him during his darkest moments. The album's title is inspired by his wife's favorite flower, the protea, and it was crafted as a timeless piece of art dedicated to her. Kota's wife played a significant role in the album's creation, as they frequently listened to the featured artists together during her daily commutes. As a result, she played a crucial role in curating the album's lineup.

Ultimately, "Protea" embodies a beautiful message of appreciation for those who offer unwavering support and love during vulnerable times. Kota hopes that this album will remind listeners to show gratitude and offer flowers to the people who uplift and stand by them.

Just like colors, music has countless shades. Fine nuances in both painting and music define the mood and a few strokes could decide on an evoked feeling, from melancholy to joy. The greatest jazz musicians thought in tone colors when they talked about sound. Having embraced historical and creative crossovers between jazz and hip hop, Don Philippe and Rzuma employ the same analogy to describe their newest work „All in blues“.
