On the heels of wrapping up a highly successful, nearly completely sold-out, headlining U.S. tour, Las Vegas' EKOH has a lot to celebrate. A man who's comfortable on the rock side of hip-hop, EKOH, with intention, went into 2024 without label representation, and completely disrupted, exploded, and usurped any expectations anybody, fans and media alike could have had for this young artist with a vision.
2024 turned out to be a banner year for the MC, welcoming an impressive VANS mashup consisting of an EKOH-designed skate shoe, some of the biggest artist collaborations of his career including a track with rapper Tech N9ne, October's release of Pressure, EKOH's self-released album and a full tour of the U.S. to celebrate its success. Now standing in the select group of musicians that are earning more than a million streams every month on Spotify, EKOH has entered the next chapter of his quest for world domination and has started off strong with a brand new track featuring Travis Moseley of Colorblind.
Listen to the always fiery EKOH alongside the dreamscape that is Colorblind on "HAUNTED." Watch the video below.
Of "Haunted," EKOH explains, "This song is deeply personal. The verses share my battles with depression, addiction, and a past I'm not proud of, while the chorus reflects feeling trapped by it all—haunted and barely living. I think it'll resonate with a lot of people. Being at the end of each of our albums, I think we were both feeling emotionally exposed and able to lay everything out on the table."
Colorblind's Moseley added, "This song came from a really personal place for both of us. We were nearing the end of our own albums and decided to come together to write something that reflected where we were emotionally. The chorus captures the feeling of being haunted by the past and stuck in a cycle you can't control, but collaborating on it allowed us to channel that weight into something cathartic. It's about facing the weight of the past and the struggle to keep moving forward, even when it feels like everything's falling apart."
After the recent wrap successful U.S. tour, EKOH closed 2024 in style by performing the single, "Hole In Your Head," live, at the 2024 Fighters Only World MMA Awards — go HERE for to check it out. On the experience, EKOH reported, "Being a huge fan of UFC and all things MMA, it was an honor to be asked to perform and open the night for the MMA awards. Growing up in Las Vegas, I've been watching organizations like the UFC since the beginning and it's still incredible to see how far it's come."
For an MC with a seemingly endless ceiling who continues to elevate with every move, 2025 will inarguably be a big year for EKOH.
