With a sound all his own and only in his early 20s, Neako has already worked with the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Juicy J, Bun B, Curren$y, Harry Fraud and many more. Since 2009, Neako has released 13 mixtapes, consisting of over 200 songs. Most recently, Neako gave back to his loyal supporters by releasing the tapes LOUDpack: Michael 4 and Ess Ess. Critics have unanimously gravitated towards Neako’s unique style, as Erin Duncan of XXL declared, “the style and varying levels of otherworldliness has become Neako’s forte, as he’s not shy about his penchant for smoke and staying fly.” Neako was featured in the coveted “Show & Prove” section of XXL Magazine, which asserted, “Neako shows he has a solid flow, tough punchlines and drawl that’s sure to have listeners under his influence.” He was also named a “Top Artist For 2012″ by JENESIS Magazine, and has drawn an overwhelming amount of praise from fans and critics alike. As Ernest Estime of The Source states, “If you do not know him, get familiar with him.” Fans can catch Neako live at the following venues; opening for Freeway on his ‘Diamond In The Ruff’ Tour – October 24 at Church in Boston and November 1st at Key Club in Los Angeles. Neako’s These Are The Times album release partywill be November 27th at Santos in New York.

Neako is currently preparing the release of his debut album, These Are The Times on November 27th. The album proves why Neako is in a lane of his own, with a unique balance of skillful production, lyricism and songwriting. The first single from These Are The Times is “I Made It All,” a cinematic anthem produced by Neako himself, filled with beautifully arranged keys and a triumphant hook. The song exemplifies Neako’s constant grind, as he proves that he’s earned every bit of his success. It’s no wonder that DJBooth.net insists, “When you’re as talented and hard-working as Neako, success is practically written into your destiny.” Neako is currently preparing a music video for “I Made It All” that will surely be as inspired as the song itself.
