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. Although he was born in Japan, Kingo spent the majority of his formative years in post-war Cambodia, and the United States - leading to a distinctly international perspective, and a form of expression that is uniquely his own. 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.
