On the heels of wrapping up a highly successful, nearly completely sold-out, headlining U.S. tour, Las Vegas’ Ekoh has a lot to celebrate. A man who’s comfortable on the rock side of hip-hop, Ekoh, with intention, went into 2024 without label representation, and completely disrupted, exploded, and usurped any expectations anybody, fans and media alike could have had for this young artist with a vision.
2024 turned out to be a banner year for the MC, welcoming an impressive VANS mashup consisting of an Ekoh-designed skate shoe, some of the biggest artist collaborations of his career including a track with rapper Tech N9ne, October’s release of ‘Pressure’, Ekoh‘s self-released album and a full tour of the U.S. to celebrate its success. Now standing in the select group of musicians that are earning more than a million streams every month on Spotify, Ekoh has entered the next chapter of his quest for world domination and has started off strong with a brand new track ‘Haunted’ featuring Travis Moseley of Colorblind.
Of ‘Haunted’, Ekoh explains: “This song is deeply personal. The verses share my battles with depression, addiction, and a past I’m not proud of, while the chorus reflects feeling trapped by it all—haunted and barely living. I think it’ll resonate with a lot of people. Being at the end of each of our albums, I think we were both feeling emotionally exposed and able to lay everything out on the table.”
Colorblind’s Moseley added: “This song came from a really personal place for both of us. We were nearing the end of our own albums and decided to come together to write something that reflected where we were emotionally. The chorus captures the feeling of being haunted by the past and stuck in a cycle you can’t control, but collaborating on it allowed us to channel that weight into something cathartic. It’s about facing the weight of the past and the struggle to keep moving forward, even when it feels like everything’s falling apart.”
