Hailing from Riverside, California, NeveroddoreveN have recently released one of their best offering, ‘Bought’, a powerful rap cut that punches well above its weight. Behind the record and the project, we find Derek Olear (MC Ending) and Dave Pearson (Dave-inci). Friends from childhood, the two creatives have struck aural gold, building the NeveroddoreveN’s universe into a cohesive artistic entity.
As we approach the record, what meets us on the other side is a stream of uplifting and anthemic hip-hop matter, with an electrifying beat influenced by gritty synths and hypnotic vocal harmonies. Despite the song’s expansive energy, there’s a certain decadence to it, a keen dystopian flair that hits listeners hard, and that empowers us all to be our true selves, even in our chaotic, flawed reality.
Delving deeper into the creative and lyrical ethos that propels the project, the American duo explains: “All the rap and hip hop that sounds the same. I figured if no one is gonna change it up, we could.” That’s exactly what they set out to do, unveiling a bold, charming hip-hop allure that feels charming and confident, rooted in the classics but also contemporary and forward-thinking. It’s also rather approachable, with a keen pop-leaning twist.
