I’ll Explain Later is a sentiment that Nico has fully embodied on his quest to design the world in which he wants to live in, all while undoing the negativity around him. This state of mind is fittingly the name of Nico’s forthcoming album. A year and a half in the making, Nico allowed himself time, space and clarity to write I’ll Explain Later, with the intent and fervor he required.

Nico.wav’s recent release, Old Soul is a relatable story of a young man with elite potential working to actualize it. Nico is facing a “quarter-life crisis” where you’re no longer a kid, but still not in the place you want to be as an adult. Reality hits, and priorities change. 

Raised in Prince George's County, MD, a predominantly African American community directly adjacent to Washington, DC, Nico was a witness to the unsightly truths of economically weakened communities. With many people never expecting to ever find a way out, Nico refused to be complacent and watch the people in his city live a life absent of hope. At age 16, Nico made a commitment to use his talent for poignant writing, in conjunction with the musical brilliance the DMV-area is known for, to go find hope and opportunities to bring back to the community that shaped him into the man he is today. 

Nico’s time in Brooklyn, NY from 2015-2019, studying and pursuing music helped him shape a sound that completely encompasses east coast rap and soul. 
In a genre heavily sedated with mindless antics and distressing messages, Nico’s goal is to bring soulful, enfranchised hip hop to everyone that seeks a soundtrack to the ebb and flows of life, and to bring hope to PG County.
