Today, FLTBYS<\/strong><\/a> (Flight Boys) Music Publishing division<\/strong>\u00a0announced the release of Kota the Friend’s long awaited 4th solo studio album titled ‘MEMO<\/strong><\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

Kota the Friend stated,<\/strong> \u201cMemo is an album about emotional growth. It’s like the end of a long journey. You can finally rest; appreciate how far you\u2019ve come and build a house that you can call home. It\u2019s about acquiring an inner peace that the world can\u2019t take away from you no matter how hard it tries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The sequel to his 2019 breakthrough project FOTO, Kota\u2019s newest work is equally rich with themes of family, self-growth, and independence. The Brooklyn-born artist battles indignation as he digs deep into the stresses of insincere relationships, media speculation, and genuine hostility. Once again, Kota perseveres, reaching a pinnacle of inner peace.<\/p>\n

Kota added,<\/strong> “I’m looking forward to continuing the creative journey beyond music, for myself and everyone who is a part of the Flight Boys (FLTBYS) creative family.”<\/p>\n

Produced by Kota, and longtime DJ e madonna, MEMO\u2019s tracks range from the triumphant highs of UP to the downtempo chords of Good To Be Home II. Kota\u2019s range in riveting songwriting, sonic presentation, and understated discernment make MEMO an album entwined with the souls of a new hip hop generation.<\/p>\n

A Limited Special Edition color MEMO Vinyl Album<\/strong><\/a> is available for pre-order.<\/p>\n
