Operating as a record label, video platform, and events brand, the acclaimed project has founded and nurtured a community of like-minded individuals, creating experiences that combine music and spirituality to touch souls worldwide.
Speaking about his release, Socko shared a post on social media saying, ” It’s been almost 9 months since I finished ‘I need’ ft. @d_litte_ and that’s a very special track for me. It is a reflection on the hard times every one of us faces from time to time. Redundant to say, I am not an exception. At that time I felt like I do things that don’t have a payoff, I experienced a creativity stagnation and felt useless, lost, depressed, and weak. The moment I digged deep into my emotions “I need” was born and all I needed was to be alone with myself, have the personal space to recover, and find the inner strength to keep going my way.”
‘I Need’ is streaming on all digital platforms now. Socko’s forthcoming EP, Blast, is set to be released on September 1, 2023
