Passing Time – Nos

Nos is the latest young artist who sent me his great debut Passing Time and who in a little bit of time has become one of my best discoveries that makes me proud. 

Passing Time is a track that you happen to hear on radio and say ‘yeah nice beat, i like it.’ Then again, right after his first verse, you can be like what the hell man, this kid actually has a strong flow. I asked him who he is and he said I’m a 20 year old independent artist based in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada, birth and raised in Nigeria.

He told me about his inspirations like growing up with 80s and 90s soul hiphop sounds of such artists like Michael Jackson, Sade, Lauren Hill and more. Till this day, he was also inspired by J.Cole and Future. It is so crazy that how many young hiphop artists are inspired by Future, he literally gave birth to the new generation rap with Young Thug.

Right now Nos has only one single but seems like he's working on a whole project. Passing Time is a great start for him, a remarkable first job. Well done brother, keep up the good work and keep grinding.

We were talkin with you a month ago and you told me that the main focus should be finding your true fan base. I totally agree, let's make it happen. I know you're working so hard to bring up something real good. Looking forward bumping your upcoming debut project man, let's get it. 

Lyrics:

She don't do relationship
She only passing time
She gon’ say she love you
But the loving is a crime
Beauty like medusa
Got no soul she pays no mind
Give her your attention
Is a love you can’t deny

I don’t even mind, passing time
Knew what it was but i still thought you was that one of a kind
Give me that light, joy that’s fine
Gave you my word not for long you was gonna be mine
But you did me like trudeu, only here for weed then you let me go

Turn my life around like a merry go
I was knocking on your door you aint let me tho
I was tryna tell you, you the remedy baby i got you for the recipe

Imma treat you special cus’ you is
But u berated my just with a kiss

Bridge

You had me really listen
You got me talking bout kids

I never wanna reminisce but i keep thinking like this

We both played game and had tricks
I had you on my wish list
I used you for the testing
And you used me for the testis
So give me that work

Give me that light
Give me that joy
Give me that work gotta ask for it
Say you got problems im here for it
Girl come close don’t be acting foreign
Why you looking back who you running back from
Told you im the man 204 I come from
Call me cozyman the king
Call me cozyman the don
Cozyman nos i be breaking down doors
You don’t do relationship
That true
I don’t do shit for you?
That’s bull

Girl you problems turn me blue got red bottoms on your shoes
I've been running on the track girl have been tryna get to you
But you acting like you never had a nigga treat you good

She don't do relationship
She only passing time
She gon’ say she love you
But the loving is a crime
Beauty like Medusa
Got no soul she pays no mind
Give her your attention
Is a love you can’t deny  

I put time, i put time on ya
I roll out for ya

You wont do the same you a bad liar
Your friends tell you things what they got on ya
I got friends too told me all about ya
I aint listen i anit think ahead
Was just tryna get you to my bed

Never cut a hoe that a trend but i fell in love with you instead

Hit it once and never let you go
That’s a problem yeah the fuck i know
This the greatest story every told
Player got played by the hoe.

Only passing time
She don’t pay no mind
You love me is crime
Is a crime.
