Niko Brim Releases New Album ‘Hues,’ Sets A Modern Hip Hop Standard

Niko Brim contributes to the March Madness hype by bringing his album, HUES, to all streaming platforms. The project was originally released on EVEN at the tail-end of 2023 (Dec.1) through the Pay-What-You-Want model.

Featuring Cory Gunz, Kai Ca$h, K Wales, Eimaral Sol, Heather Victoria & Iman Nunez

The 13-track project blends raw lyricism with melodic beats to create a kaleidoscope of emotions and an unforgettable audible experience. Niko fearlessly explores the spectrum of human existence, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in his world. With each note, HUES becomes more than just an album; it’s a masterpiece that celebrates lyricism, hip-hop, and the diversity and complexity of life, leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of contemporary hip-hop.

Alongside HUES, Niko drops off a busy new video for “4DACOMPANY” with Kai Ca$h and K Wales. The video, directed by Patrick Lincoln, finds the trio mobbing through NYC as they trade off verses. Niko and company embrace the hustle and bustle of the city, spreading the word about their collaborative single in a cool, creative way.

The new video made its broadcast premiere on BET Jams, and the Paramount+ Times Square billboard.

HUES’s mainstream release was preceded by the 2-pack single 4DACOMPANY PACK. The double single release is home to the aforementioned track, “4DACOMPANY,” featuring Kai Ca$h and K Wales, and the mesmerizing “CUT THE LIGHTS” with Heather Victoria.

Just last week, Niko readied fans for his latest entry by dropping the “Die A Legend” visualizer. Shot by Gretzy, the visual aid features a cameo appearance from 3x Grammy-nominated phenom, Rapsody, and sees Niko channeling undeniable intentionality into his performance of the track as he honors his musical legacy. It’s also important to note that Niko Brim is featured on Rapsody’s fourth studio album, Please Don’t Cry, standing bold alongside other notable guest appearances that include Phylicia Rashad, Erykah Badu, Lil Wayne, Alex Isley, Baby Tate, and more.

Elsewhere, Niko is gearing up for his ‘Homecoming Show’ this Saturday (Mar. 23) in Yonkers, New York. The one-night-only event will include a headlining set from Niko Brim with special guest performances by Madison Star, Really Jaewon, and Iman Nunez.

ABOUT NIKO BRIM

Niko Brim is a student of hip-hop. He’s from Mount Vernon, New York, a small town on the outskirts of New York City. There, he grew up completely engulfed in hip-hop culture but it wasn’t until he heard Nas’ seminal debut album, Illmatic, that he would pivot into being a student of the game. Starting at age 14, Niko would spend his lunch periods battle rapping and freestyling. In 2017, Niko released his first project, A Thousand Pictures: Book One. Its successor, A Thousand Pictures: Book Two, would follow one year later in 2018. That same year, Niko ran into Grammy-nominated rapper Rapsody at one of her shows and rhymed for her on the spot. She was impressed and they connected. Then, he got flown out to Jamla Records where he would earn a guest spot on the label’s compilation album, 9th Wonder Presents: Jamla Is the Squad II, appearing on the record “Goodfellas.” In 2021, Niko added an exclamation point to his highlight reel with the groundbreaking B4THETHRONE EP, which includes guest appearances from Rapsody, Domani, Reuben Vincent, and more. 2022 proved to be just as impactful as Niko hit the road with Grammy nominee Cordae for his ‘From A Bird’s Eye View’ Tour alongside Kai Ca$h and Coast Contra. Just last year, in 2023, Niko partnered with EVEN to release his project, Hues Vol. 1, and successfully drew in 1 million album equivalent streams in one month’s time by selling his music directly to fans.
