NICKTHEREAL: Wishing You a Good Life

NICKTHEREAL has had an incredible year. His short-but-sweet EP WHAT A LIFE gave us the mumble rap-inspired single “i GO” and introduced the Taiwanese massive hit maker as an undeniable force in the hip-hop scene. Based on his undeniable success, we’ve asked NICKTHEREAL to contribute an exclusive playlist and help us celebrate the Chinese New Year. NICKTHEREAL’s memories of the festivities are imbued with nostalgia—memories of get-togethers, dinners, relaxation and love. “I think of reunion whenever I think of Chinese New Year—and the warm feeling that comes with having the whole family under one roof. On New Year’s Eve, everyone gathers for what we call the reunion dinner, and as tradition has it, we stay up as late as we can…for longevity!” This year, relaxation might be short-lived for NICKTHEREAL as he has big plans for 2020. The rapper tells us, “If I had a theme song for 2020 it would be ‘i GO’. In 2020 I’ll continue to rise and bring everyone new surprises.” “WHAT A LIFE came out in 2019 with the single ‘i GO’ having a special place for me. The song is an apt description of what I’ve come through these years. And in 2019, I was my truest self.” “These are songs I like and listen to all the time,” he says of his exclusive playlist. “I just want to share good music and introduce it to everyone.” With an eclectic collection that dips into classic and modern rap, R&B and pop hits, NICKTHEREAL’s playlist is perfect for a CNY party. NICKTHEREAL shared the following New Year’s wishes for his fans: “I wish you a good life. I hope everyone can live their ‘best’ life, move forward, and achieve their goals.”
