Chicago Rapper 10k Kobee Drops New Single “Without My Tool”
Fast-rising US rapper 10k Kobee has dropped his latest single, “Without My Tool”. Hailing from Chicago, 10k Kobee has been going from strength to strength since bursting on the scene a couple of years ago. Previous release “Vlone” was streamed over a million times, and the independent rapper looks set to have his biggest release yet with “Without My Tool”, which has already begun generating huge buzz and reactions online. The track arrives alongside an equally impressive music video produced by No More Heroes.
Influenced by the likes of Eminem and Busta Rhymes, 10k Kobee immediately stands out on “Without My Tool” with his ability to switch flows and with his animated delivery – both on the track and during the music video. Enhanced further with its catchy lyrics and a gritty beat full of heavy bass and bouncing 808s produced by ProdByTr4nce, “Without My Tool” has all the makings of a bona fide hit. Speaking further on the release, 10k Kobee says, “I feel like me being solo on this track leaves room for nothing but great opportunities! With this sound and style of music I chose, I was focused on entertaining and being fun, lyrically amusing and 100% relatable to people all over the world.
“The artistic visual I put together is basically acting out real-life situations in the most comical way. And when I said: ‘I got a baby it go wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! That s**t push me to go harder watch I make it that’s the plan!’ I was not capping! Now that I have a baby boy and a family to take care of, it leaves me to be persevering and industrious, so I will not stop until I reach my intended goal.”
When he’s not behind the mic, 10k Kobee is also busy with his acting endeavours, and he currently has a leading role in popular web series 2 Brothers: A Chicago Lifestyle. With mounting success as both a rapper and actor, it’s clear 10k Kobee is one to watch out for, and he’s still only really just getting started. “Without My Tool” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://fanlink.to/withoutmytool.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
