nikka sold 52k first week his second album, went gold and platinum his first two albums and disappeared off the face of the earth. nikka had a fanbase too unlike them SoundCloud nikkas
This era is unique af

I heard of him but had no idea he had a gold and plat album

That would never happen 20 years ago

So I guess it’s a good thing

It’s hard for SoundCloud rappers to last more than 2-3 years. Once you heard one project from them you heard them all. Smokepurrp is another one

That first album that got him buzzin in the tail end of the SoundCloud era is good

I think he has like 3-4 albums since then..and they all mid
That first album lowkey a classic, I was a HS senior and a college freshman when his first two dropped. His hype was for sure there, and he didn’t need antics

Skies better than Purpp, and I’ll give Purpp credit he was never that buzzing like skies but Deadstar was good

Was blessed with the industry plant starter pack, but didn't make the cut. Now he can't find a regular job.

His first album had some heat on it....but breh was a 1 trick pony......

he prolly could have networked better 2...

if not him and lando should have done a full feature album together and just stuck to the script.

The talent was never really there with him, Yung Bans, on the other hand, actually had it.
