pero swa

"I felt uncomfortable with the 'hood' and 'homies' supremacy and machismo inherent in hip-hop culture. By singing about my liberation from those things, I want to connect with those who feel uncomfortable with the unique sense of confinement in hip-hop culture."
This is the completed version of the pero swa demo posted on YouTube in March 2026, and niiyo's first single.
Lyrics, composition, and jacket image were produced by niiyo himself.
Mixing and mastering were handled by @xxetklips, who is a member of CNG squad and has worked on tracks such as "Bai Bai Bai Bai" under the name NAOKI BAIZAWA. Vocal recording took place at @xxetklips's home.
This work marks a turning point for niiyo, signifying his departure from his hometown and past relationships that bound him, and the beginning of his second life as niiyo.
This is the completed version of the demo recorded on the day he received his job offer.

The song reflects on the turning point in one's life so far and the beginning of a new one, expressing past struggles and aspirations for the new life to come.

It features psychedelic, lo-key synthesizers and emotional yet playful lyrics.

A music video will be released later on niiyo's YouTube account.
