Nika D is a man on a mission for world domination but it’s never a straight forward path, despite the constant grind and self belief.

The Virus Syndicate and Bad Medic Records founder knows more than than most the trails and traverses of the music industry and encapsulates this paradox in his new bass-fuelled UK Grime banger, Childhood Dreams - lead track on the EP of the same name.

The title tune is all about backing yourself, pioneering MC’s flow is a rapid fire of self-aware word play before the main hook slaps, as he strikes his resolve to the success of his career and the ‘Childhood Dreams that I’m livin’ in’.

Released on his own imprint, the EP is a tour-de-force of rap and bass - which also features bass house party anthem SMASH, with Norway’s biggest bass export SAVANT - alongside UKG crate digger Fading to Black and drill anthem, Crazy Dumb.
