East Coast-based New Age Hip Hop artist Milo Kobayashi has prided themselves on defining an uplifting movement through their work since debuting as an artist a few short years ago. With a consistent string of releases over this recent period of their musical career, they have more than lived up to this mission as each record gives fans a unique opportunity to look into the mind of this musician and take a few words of wisdom with them. As today marks the release of their latest single “THINK!” it proves nothing short of a pinnacle in this mantra when held against their work to date, as they champion their own ambition and message of self-care with every verse.
As the piece begins, electronic murmurings rhythmically intermingle with the sounds of crowds cheering and we feel a sense of intrigue in what this music could develop into. The artist’s vocals appear on the track soon after and we are immediately thrown into the world of their mind from the opening line “I’m getting scared, I’m getting older watching everybody grow up. Even though the world might blow up, I hope I do first.” From the first notes, the artist’s resonant baritone flow plays as captivating and almost hypnotic as they deliver their message with a deep sense of urgency and passion.
The message of the single proves nothing short of inspiring and a motivated reflection of the artist’s aspirations and enviable temperament. Lines reflecting their sense of urgency such as “Progress only lasts with the future coming fast” juxtapose with lines highlighting their deepest priorities like “I wanna change the world, I wanna live my fantasy, I wanna change reality, I wanna help my family” as we see a full picture of the mind behind the music through their words.
