His “Rubix Cube” mixtape series (Red Edition, Green Edition, and most recently Blue Edition) have earned him appearances on Sirius/XM Radio, New York’s Hot 97, MTV Germany, and coverage on popular hip-hop websites NahRight, 2DopeBoyz, OnSmash, and many more. Neako has collaborated with artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Young Chris, as well as rap legend Bun B.
"I love being a new artist, I get motivation from my peers and I know what I'm doing motivates them as well. We are all in this friendly competition to make each other better and this is what hip-hop is about".
Neako is not just an artist behind the mic, but he is a self made producer as well. Producing a vast amount of his own tracks himself, Neako has begun to create a unique sound that people love. "One of my greatest advantages is being a producer as well as a rapper. If I know what I need sonically then I can go in the studio and create it, and I am always striving to get better in all aspects of music."

Neako Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
im a little drunk tonight
i ain't been to church in a minute
i ain't tell my girl what she worth in a minute
i ain't said a verse without a curse in a minute
realest studio get smoke in a minute
me and little bro ride renteds????????????
they all talk but they never did
and I smoke cuz my mind go
moving real slow looking through my iPhone
hoes text shit I text back
for every new bitch there's a setback
so I move like they never call
fuck one then you met em all
hold on
and I can only be what God has set out here for me
and every time I close my eyes I tell you what I see
it's a big ole world of dreams
and it ain't like what it seems
all I know I am destined for what I am gonna be
yeah
oh yeah
yeah
oh yeah
oh yeah
In this song, Neako opens by confessing that he is drunk, and he hasn't been to church in a while. He then goes on to express regrets about not telling his girl how much she's worth, and how he hasn't rapped without cursing in a while. He talks about being in the studio, where he confidently smokes and makes music. He mentions his younger brother and how they ride rented cars together, while reminiscing about their past experiences with women, and how his mind wanders while he smokes.
Neako then shifts his focus to his phone, and how he is constantly texting with different women. He admits that for every new girl, there's always a setback and he moves on from them quickly, so he doesn't get bogged down by emotional ties. He reminds himself that he can only be who God has destined him to be, and he expresses his dreams and aspirations, with the hope of achieving them. He acknowledges that the world is full of dreams, but he's confident that he is destined for greatness.
Overall, Neako uses this song to reflect on his life, his aspirations, and his experiences. His honesty about his vices and his disregard for emotional attachment may be seen as controversial, but it's refreshing to hear an artist speak candidly about the realities of their life.
