Cheers! That’s the English equivalent of “Buen Provecho” the title of Kingdom Kome’s newest video/single. Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN the smoky instrumental gives a back-drop for the emcee to flex on as well as guest collaborators Che Uno and Asun Eastwood.

Speaking on the genesis of the track Kingdom said “I wanted to make sure I had a drum less joint on the album, even when we were working on this beat Ruen kept wanting to add drums to it. I caught a vibe to it and wanted it stripped to the bare bones so that the words and feeling could be felt more. The translation for “Buen Provecho” would be Cheers in English, so this is like a celebratory feeling captured on wax.”

The video only captures Kingdom Kome’s verse but the trio already have plans to film another joint together in the coming months.

“Buen Provecho” is the second single from the second collaborative LP with RUEN entitled Malbec 2 (to drop on 7/19/24). Another single from the project “Crush Grapes” also recently dropped.

In regard to working with RUEN he added the following “I feel like I have different chambers and vibes I tap into depending on what producer or artist I’m working with at that specific time. Since RUEN is my DJ and longest working producer, I feel like we have developed a very signature sound together. He has an amazing ear and can go from some really grimey boom bap records to trap to R&B, dancehall and club records effortlessly, regardless of the record his signature drums always are hard hitting and I feel like with Malbec 2 we are both in our prime and it’s my most well rounded project to date!”

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks

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:

“I just want to entertain people and make them a bit happier.”– Aaron King.

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.
