Album: Nyck Caution – Anywhere But Here

The 26-Year-Old Brooklyn Emcee Shares a Soulful and Reflective Solo Debut, With Appearances From Joey Bada$$, Denzel Curry, Kota The Friend, and Many More

Critical Praise:

“Brooklyn rapper Nyck Caution just unleashed his hard-hitting new project Open Flame via Joey Badass’ label Pro Era Records. With a distinctively New York flair, the EP is a sign of more to come” – Complex

“After crashing onto the rap scene back in 2012, NYCK and Pro Era’s sound has been likened to the golden-era greatness of the ‘90s…NYCK has plans to blend the old, traditional hip-hop with the experimentalism of new-aged rap.” – The FADER

Open Flame is enough to paint a vivid picture of Caution’s artistry, a promising prelude to whatever full-length effort he ends up concocting” – HotNewHipHop

The Album:

A fixture in the Brooklyn scene for nearly a decade, Nyck Caution is serious about his craft. After putting years of work into elevating his pen game and developing his aesthetic, Nyck shares Anywhere But Herehis official solo debut album. A soulful and self-assured effort, Anywhere But Here arrives after years of personal turmoil, including the recent death of his father. The album explores all facets of Nyck’s personality, kicking off with introspective and reflective tracks like the mournfully hopeful December 24th” ft. Elbee Three and the over-it-all title track, before the 26-year-old rapper unleashes his aggression and frustration with industry politics on songs like “What You Want.” In the album’s closing stretch, Nyck reflects on his difficult years and examines how he’s changed.

Steeped in the culture of his home borough, Anywhere But Here reverberates with booming bass notes and crisp percussion, delivering a spin on classic NY rap sounds seasoned with Nyck’s wry sense of humor and incisive storytelling. On recent single Bad Day,” Nyck embraces the en vogue Brooklyn drill sound as he goes toe-to-toe with Denzel Curry. The project is home to How You Live It,” a hard-hitting new single with an appearance from Nyck’s Pro Era cohort Joey Bada$$, and “Product of My Environment” with fellow Brooklyn MC’s Kota The Friend and Erick The Architect, which tells Nyck’s origin story with spiritual panache. Featuring additional appearances from Nyck’s Pro Era cohort CJ FlyGASHITheMind, and more, Anywhere But Here is available on all platforms via Pro Era Records/ADA Worldwide.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Nyck Caution made a name for himself as a member of the Pro Era collective. Impressing with his crystal-clear bars and malleable flows, the 26-year-old rapper became a fixture of the NYC rap scene in the 2010s, appearing on projects by Joey Bada$$ (including the popular 1999), as well as Beast Coast‘s Escape From New York and A$AP Mob’s Cozy Tapes Vol. 2He connected with Pro Era producer/rapper Kirk Knight for Nyck @ Knightgenerating tens of millions of streams on Spotify alone. Last summer, Nyck showed a new side of himself with the Open Flame EP, which earned coverage from ComplexNMEHotNewHipHop, and more. Now with an accomplished album under his beltNyck is ready to establish himself as an artistic force on the East Coast.

The Background:

The pages of a notebook hold the past, present, and, sometimes, the future. Long before joining popular hip-hop collective Pro Era, logging over 10 million streams, and receiving acclaim from VibeDJ BoothHipHopDX, and more, Nyck Caution inscribed his eventual moniker in the pages of a high school notebook. It served as a self-fulfilling prophecy as his raw rhymes and magnetic melodies powered one fan favorite project after another, leading up to Anywhere But Here, his soulful and personal debut album, releasing in January 2021.
