Lyric

Don't Mean Much

Kingo, DinoJr.

Performing on stages

That I have dreamed of

From Shimokitz to Shinjuku

To Shibuya

Finally getting recognition

That I worked for

Strangers buying me liquor

Shit I don’t know ya

Signing these pages

Rolling the dice again

Old school like Sean Price

“departing but sending”

My fate is your fate

You know we all gon’ make it

Groove undeniable

You better stop pretending

Features on features You know

I’ll teach you all creatures

Become a preacher of the

Vanguard’s dominating procedure

And the fresh flows’

Giving the best glow

I’ve reached the plateau

You know this is the vibe you on

Representing the Shinjuku

Underground scene

From the playlists, radio

To the worldwide scene

Fiend of the mic

And I’m the act of the night

Watch the spotlight

Ignite the fire, in the twilight

But it ain’t shit

If I ain’t got you, no

“All the mentions on the ‘gram

Don’t mean much”

But it ain’t shit

If I ain’t got you, no

“Features that I get

Don’t mean much”

But it ain’t shit

If I ain’t got you, no

“All the mentions on the ‘gram

Don’t mean much”

But it ain’t shit

If I ain’t got you, no

“You better stop playing

Right now”

足りないもんばっか嘆いたり

Talking bout my aspiration

Shit taking

あなたの気引く手がかり

Ayo, what can I say?

首もたげて

はじまりを俯瞰する鳥

Nah, ain’t no problem

なんら気にしない

あなたがいないなら意味がない

フェーダー押し上げる 脳裏

Don’t, don’t don’t

Don’t mean much

(Yeah, don’t mean much hey

Don’t mean much hey, come on)

Don’t, don’t don’t

Don’t mean much

(Yeah, don’t mean much

Don’t mean much)

It ain’t shit if you ain’t

Hitting me back

Years later with

That stacks on stacks

Couple of bills after a gig

Can’t pay the rent just yet

Facing reality, but still

Chasing my dreams so yes

I could be hallucinated

By the industry

And we just couple of kids

Choosing foolishness, but

If I have a blast through

This path I’m on

That’s what I came to do, so

Baby hold on a minute and sing

はみ出しものには

燃え上がる花束を!

ヘラヘラしてたら

It's over

歌い続けるなら

疑いを捨てるなよ

鵜呑みにしてたら

It's over

But it ain’t shit

If I ain’t got you

“All the mentions on the ‘gram

Don’t mean much”

But it ain’t shit

If I ain’t got you

“Features that I get

Don’t mean much”

足りないもんばっか嘆いたり

Talking bout my aspiration

Shit taking

あなたの気引く手がかり

Ayo, what can I say?

首もたげて

はじまりを俯瞰する鳥

Nah, ain’t no problem

なんら気にしない

あなたがいないなら意味がない

フェーダー押し上げる 脳裏

Don’t, don’t don’t

Don’t mean much

Don’t, don’t don’t

Don’t mean much

Don’t, don’t don’t

Don’t mean much

Don’t, don’t don’t

Don’t mean much

Couple of kids with no clue

But we both know the truth

Know I’m always making moves

But it’s all just for you

Couple of kids with no clue

But we both know the truth

Know I’m always making moves

But it’s all just for you

    Don't Mean Much

    Kingo, DinoJr.

"Kingo" is a dexterous bilingual rapper who recently made his first appearance at "FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2023" after winning an audition, a gateway to success for young artists.
"DinoJr." is a singer-songwriter who has been attracting attention for his mix of musical genres, including R&B, funk, and electronic music.
The two of them have released a double name single "Don't Mean Much".

The two, who have deepened their friendship after performing together at live houses in Tokyo, have created this song, which, as the jacket expresses, is an urban cityscape-inspired song that radiates colorful individuality.
The smooth beat evokes the vibe of house music, and Kingo's light rap, mainly in English lyrics, and DinoJr.'s soulful vocals resonate as if they are crossing over each other. The song is an original number that can only be expressed by both artists, who are active in both the club scene and the band scene.

  • Kingo

    Japanese Hip-hop/Soul artist Kingo, crafts his music as the vehicle to explore his diverse life experiences, and desire for personal growth - using his meditative nature as the driving force in his pursuit of self-actualisation.

Kingo marries his personal, intimate lyrics with a razor-sharp flow that is characteristic of his dynamic, exhilarating sound. He illustrates his versatility by seamlessly alternating between English and Japanese - artisan-ally evoking a sense of familiarity in the listener as he invites them into his world. Dropping his guard and opening up, he hopes of reaching those facing life's challenges with his music. Kingo aims to soften the soul - sparking important heart - to - hearts that lead to a shared sense of companionship, mindfulness, and a renewed spirit to persevere through difficult times.
