Dallas, Texas-native NSVN (pronounced Nine Seven) is making an impressive entrance into the New Year. The emerging talent began producing at the age thirteen before transitioning into a full-blown recording artist after 2010. Over the course of the next few years, NSVN dropped off several tangible projects before transitioning once again into an engineer and producer. Last year, we saw his debut album, Change My Name, and now NSVN treats fans to “G.O.Y.F” music video.
The brand new single arrives ahead of his forthcoming project titled What Happened To The Kids? and is produced by Young Taylor. Having mixed and mastered the track, “G.O.Y.F” meshes together well with NSVN’s previous works. “I tell ’em get out your feelings and get a bag, where you at? / Won’t you pull out the dealer and get it matte if they mad,” he raps. Check out the video below.
I lived with my mother and siblings in a suburb of Dallas, TX most of my life. Spent most of my time playing sports, when I wasn’t in school. Around the age of thirteen, my stepbrother and I started to take interest in music. Making beats and writing became our thing. From around the age of thirteen to eighteen, my main battle was trying to figure out which one I was better at.. sports or music. I played sports up until senior year when I decided that music was the more feasible of the two career choices. Dallas became extremely diverse as I was coming up, so I was blessed enough to have plenty of different cultures around me to study and pull inspiration from.
The only influence for the “G.O.Y.F” visuals was the song itself and the energy I got from it. Its a very upbeat, lighthearted track that was meant to motivate people to put all the unnecessary things aside and just work! I wanted the video to have an extremely fancy vibe to it as well to cover the “let’s make a lot of money and spend it” aspect of the track.
Yes and no. “G.O.Y.F” is definitely the most bouncy song on the project, so it stands alone in that aspect. But, the project as a whole leans a lot more to the upbeat side of music than my debut project Change My Name did. This one is definitely more lighthearted and more relatable.
This new project What Happened To The Kids speaks more to the issues that we all begin to face as we move forward in life. Change My Name was more on the personal side of things, letting people into my mind, and the reality of myself. This project is also a showcase of the progress of my penmanship. I made it a point to write in a way that could resonate with everyone despite where you stand in life.
I hate to sound cliche, but everything. I allow life, my experiences, people I meet, family, and plenty of other things inspire me to write, and create content to give to the world. My music is usually a direct reflection of my perspective on life at the time I wrote it. I usually allow good, and bad events to push my art.
This year, I’m gearing up to release my new EP What Happened To The Kids, as well as my second album. Also this year, shows are a big thing for me. Getting outside my room, and the internet, and really reaching the people who listen and support, and relate to my music. I’m looking forward to putting out more visual content this year as well.
