Often pigeonholed as being “just” one of the most prominent musicians in the emo rap scene, nothing,nowhere. has experienced meteoric success over the last few years by breaking all the rules. Whether it’s recording an EP with Travis Barker or impressively writing and producing everything himself, his music has undergone a distinct evolution over the years as well. Influenced by everything from pop-punk to post-hardcore (and even throwing in some references to a record that changed his life on “death“), perhaps a better descriptor for nothing,nowhere. would be versatile.
Either way you slice it, nothing,nowhere.’s artistry can easily fit into a number of different audiences – and newest single “Pieces Of You” certainly qualifies as that. Fast becoming one of the bigger NN songs to date, it’s an anthemic pop-punk jam that doesn’t undermine what previous NN material tried to encapsulate. In fact, it seems like it’s connecting with a wider audience this time around.

The song even recently managed to appear on NFL’s Week 14 Sunday Night Football broadcast, during the Packers and Bears game. This isn’t the first time this has happened, of course – everyone from Atreyu to State Champs to even Sylar have appeared on major NFL broadcasts recently – but it no doubt has to be awesome to know millions of people might well be discovering something you wrote.
