Brooklyn bred MC and independent artist, KOTA the Friend, continues to stake his claim in music, collaborating for a no frills, modern nostalgic, sharp, yet witty collaborative album with the legendary DJ, Statik Selektah. A sonic paring that's been brewing for a few years now, To Kill A Sunrise is a PSA, - as KOTA the Friend chants on the opening track "I ain't the KOTA you first met... I can't lose." The confident, independent MC, over the masterful production of Statik introduces a more seasoned musician, locking his view on success, stepping out of his own way and over all those who doubt the makings of an undeniable voice of a generation.
