Lyric
echoes.
Kingo, Funny Factures
Remember those times, listening to Marshall with my headphones
I’ve been loving hip-hop since the get-go
At age 10 filled my SD with mp3s like a bento
Space bound's what I listen at night
Staring at the ceiling no lights
Felt so alive when I was passing the time with
YouTube, Datpiff, Genius, Sprite
And I grew up to love music, more than any other art form
Started writing during high school, uh
Was in love with the rhymes though
Obsession like Hanjiro
A manic, I’ll admit it
Studio to the stage and
Again and again
A pen and a pad what I had to make it work
Mic and audacity, a capacity
Of my mind was always writing
My problems, would I solve em?
Who the fuck knows
But I can’t stay puzzled, yeah I knew a way to confront it
Beat and and a melody, serenaded when I’m on it
Floating a little bit when I’m rhyming
Yeah time flies, kept the grind saw the views from the stages
The love for the art, always the basics
Of why I do what i do (Yeah)
But doubts blocking my soul (Yeah)
It’s been a long way and I do (Yeah)
Believe in everything done, pain and the sweat
Numbers always get in my head
Not about the views and hits
But I gotta make the ends meet
9 to 5, eyes on the screen
Watch the day, disappear on me
Chasing bills, debts and the interest
To pay for studio and the gigs
Elevator rides, I’m callin' my management
“Check my DJ and band, reply to the mail they sent”
I need my medicine
Going to 7-11 for 9%
Drowning the issues my head spinning
Days off, I’m contemplating
No words coming out of my dome
Just blank space on my phone
Look out I see the neons
The planet that I be on
Million options did I choose the right one?
Two years, no EPs or albums
What the fuck have I done?
Like what the fuck have I done?
飢えた感情奮い立たせ走らせるペン
Cant keep it in my chest
Gaping, out of breath
Feelings flooding like day 1
When I started writing, remember that
Hit em with the heart, when I get that
Running like Pharcyde
From the east side
I rise 眠らない今日も
満を持して奪うcrown, yeah
Right timing, I would say
Noise on my mind all erased
Funny Factures, gotta break it down to the beat i said, to the beat i said
All the pain in my chest escaped
It's right timing, I would say
No more static in my brain, yeah
Funny Factures, gotta tear it down to the beat I said, ah
夢の中 burning away
Echoes in the clouds 留めらんない気持ちをさ
Like candles in the wind, back in the day
描いたのは visions of a brighter light
泣いたところで
雨は止まないし
吹いた風に乗って
高く飛んでいくだけ

Kingo
Born in Japan and raised in different parts of the world, including the United States and Cambodia, hip-hop artist Kingo has developed a distinct creative voice shaped by his multicultural upbringing. Blending this unique sensibility with lyrics written in both Japanese and English, he continues to pursue a style of expression entirely his own.
Arriving nearly three years after his previous EP, Kingo's second EP, "cheqpoint.", is a six-track project that captures where he stands today as he navigates new environments and changes in his life, while continuing to confront and pursue his own ideals. As its title suggests, the project serves as a "checkpoint" - a moment to look back on the path he has taken, reflect on where he is now, and prepare to move forward.
Rooted in club music while embracing a diverse range of sonic approaches, the EP takes on different colors through sessions with multiple artists and trackmakers. From competition and restlessness to his admiration for music, the conflicts that come with pursuing it, and his determination to keep moving forward, Kingo channels his real-life experiences into his lyrics. Together, these six tracks offer a multidimensional portrait of who Kingo is today.

Drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists and genres, including Kendrick Lamar and Funkadelic, Kingo has developed a distinctive and versatile style of expression.
