Cooler drops debut album

Emerging artist Cooler has been writing his own original rap music since he was a teenager, recording his bars the moment he could get his hands on a microphone. More recently he’s taken steps to venture out as a solo artist to deliver his sound that takes influence from the likes of Lil Wayne, Travis Scott and Kanye West.

Originally making an entrance as Cooler on Soundcloud, he took inspiration for his name from a character from his favourite Dragon Ball Z game. Picking up early traction with his first cuts such as “With Me”, he’s now made his formal artistic introduction with the release of his debut album titled Anyway, Gotta Run.

Aiming to tell the tales of an everyday dreamer trying to make their way through life, on his debut album Cooler delivers a message that resonates strongly with listeners. Spinning a challenging period of his own life into the creation of art, not only does Anyway, Gotta Run serve to showcase Cooler’s sonic statement of intent, it offers the uplifting story of hope, determination and triumph over struggles.

Recorded in his room in secret, the artist was so immersed in the project that he didn’t even need to write his lyrics down, instead allowing his wordsmithery to flow freely and organically from his musical mind. “My bedroom is my little world of escape from reality for a few moments. As time goes on, I am realising that what happens in my room is reality, anything else is just a fairy-tale I’ve convinced myself is real life,” he shares.

Laying down seven modern hip hop tracks full of spacey, wooshing synth tones, snapping beat and capped by his laid back vocal flow, Anyway, Gotta Run sees Cooler share the first taste of his offering with the world via a truly worthy debut record.
