Straight out of Philly, Niiks has touched down in sunny Orlando, ready to prove he has a place in FLA Hip Hop.
Adding to his successful single “Hold It”, Niiks decided to drop a small EP/deluxe edition for the single including 4 new tracks. “Hold it” is still one of my favorite tracks from Niiks, I really love the way he flows over the more up beat tracks. His melodic vocals add to the vibe of the tracks, many of them are still stuck in my head. All the production on the project is solid, complimenting Niik’s vocals.
“Say Sum” starts off the project, with Niiks brining a faster flow on this track than on the others. Niiks has proved himself on various tracks and singles, now y’all can’t say nothing to him.
“Rubber Bands” was destined to be the next single, this one is a smash. The hard hitting flute sampled beat slides. Niiks doesn’t come off as corny at all, he’s definitely 100%, I feel that’s what separates him from a lot of the others artists out there, “Walked in with a brick in my pocket”.
“Again” might be my favorite beat on the project. This is another banger for sure, but Niiks is versatile enough that the tracks don’t become tired out played out.
“Nails” is on some more melancholy type shit but it’s still a vibe. Niiks flow on this one is more slowed down, allowing the listener to take in everything he is saying. The beat is still hard hitting but not necessarily in the trap sense like the previous ones.
Niiks is on to something for sure, he makes just really dope music to vibe out to, totally fitting the FLA vibe while still retaining his Philly roots. Be sure to check out his new video “Color Blind” featuring some Balaclava Boys gear, we running it up all summer in the 727.
