In the artist's words:

Ryko-J has been making a name for himself as a rapper since 2017: for five years, the Essen-born rapper has been releasing rap tracks that cause a stir with their dominant attitude and uniquely dirty vocal color. This was followed by his first major successes, missteps and a debut album, until Ryko-J turned his back on German rap in 2022 and found a new home in pop-punk. Far away from trap beats, but with an electric guitar and grungy drums, he uses music as an anchor in his life, which is not exactly free of hurdles. With the launch of his pop-punk career, it is now clear where he wants to go in the future: out of old patterns and onto the scene of German pop-punk instead, where his raspy voice is combined with pop melodies and honest lyrics to create his very personal style. In collaboration with new and old companions, Ryko-J takes his personal lyrics and lays them over pop-punk instrumentals for the first time in 2022, ultimately writing a new album. The classic punk songs are joined by modern rock & pop elements that allow Ryko-J to reinvent himself while utilizing the strengths he learned during his rap years. Some may call it pop-punk with a chanting element - for Ryko-J it is the musical identity he has been searching for for so long and which is now finally opening new doors for him.
