All gas, no brakes – Bok Nero is back with another inventive fusion of trap and bass music threaded with his intoxicating rap lyricism.
“No Brakes” is out now on Dim Mak.
The high energy track opens with a series of metallic synth stabs, and a hard hitting first verse that will have you bouncing with the beat. A swift build then leads you into a deep breakdown of grimey bass and heavy vocal chops meant to evoke a sense of fearlessness from within. Bok Nero is indestructible on “No Brakes,” which is about finding power in your journey rather than letting your past be the thing holding you back.
“You can’t let where you came from be an excuse as to why you are not achieving success and creating opportunities for yourself,” Bok Nero explains.
Bok Nero is truly paving his own path as his artist project grows, which is no small feat as there are no comparable acts for him to look up to. A student of life who is flourishing in unimaginable ways as someone from the projects in Philadelphia, Bok’s success in music making, live shows, collaborations and travel is all self-made and developing in real time. Where Bok comes from, the idea of traveling is unattainable and even scary. Growing up, he remembers only knowing of a four block radius in his neighborhood, so on his first European tour, his “WORLWIDE NERO” and “FUCK FEAR, TRAVEL MORE” phrases started to brew in him.
While Bok’s sound is a hybrid of hip hop, dance, trap and pop – his sound is evolutionary and truly can’t be pigeon holed into one genre of sound. His newest and unreleased music is nothing like what fans have heard from him before. Watch this space for more to come from Bok Nero.
