Brooklyn rapper Kota the Friend bucked trends, favoring musically rich instrumentals and vivid, sometimes surreal wordplay over the interchangeable trap styles of many of his peers. His personal, often introspective lyrics and jazz-inflected beats met with well-groomed production on his 2020 album Everything. In 2021, he teamed up with producer Statik Selektah for the project To Kill a Sunrise. The third volume of his Lyrics to Go series appeared in 2022.
