Fresh out of Miami, Florida Niko Allen quickly began to pick up momentum last month when he released his 12 track project Not My Intentions. The artist now makes a big return with a new visual titled “What It Is Tho” produced by Z. The record has a very catchy R&B wave, that’s quickly picking up in the South Florida clubs. It’s dedicated to the ladies who have their own and know it.

Niko also took time for an exclusive Q&A with us, discussing himself as an artist, his City’s influence, upcoming music and much more. Check it out below as well as his new video, which is also available now everywhere.

Q: In your own words, describe Niko Allen as an artist.

A: If I had to describe Niko Allen in so many words, I would say “Bedroom Bully” the proof is in the music lol… my style of music is in the same lane as, Ty Dolla Sign, Eric Bellinger, Sammie, Jeremih, and Verse Simmonds to name a few…

Q: There’s a lot happening with Miami right now, including the taping of Love and Hip Hop, Diddy’s Revolt Conference and the festival Rolling Loud.. How has your City influenced you sonically?

A: The City (Miami) stay lit… So I keep that same energy in the music. Whether we turning up or winding down my melodies, harmonies, and word play puts you in a good mood.

Q: What’s the name of your upcoming EP? Can we expect any major features?

A: I recently release a project titled “Not My Intentions” which is available for Streaming, Download, and/or Purchase on all platforms ITunes, Spotify, Tidal etc.. I’m currently working on a new EP “untitled” looking to release it sometime in February of this year… As far as features… we have a few surprises… you guys gotta stick around to find out.
