The follow-up to Riley’s 2020 song “NY Aesthetic,” “NYA II” finds Riley and Qu’ality speaking on what it means to be an artist–and just a human–from New York. The song features a great deal about how Riley grew up in NYC and how it shaped him to be the person and artist he is today. I love the gritty boombap beat, but I love the lyricism even more. This is the 5th single off Riley’s upcoming After Twelve EP, following songs such as “Without Love.” Check out the song above and support dope music in all its forms.
