Fokis & High John – 40 Year Old Rapper

Fokis releases new single, “40 Year Old Rapper,” produced by Germany’s High John. It’s taken from his docu-album “Hello, My Name Is Fokis,” which is finally coming to DSPs + vinyl this year. “40 Year Old Rapper” is a reflective anthem addressing ageism in hip-hop. Over High John’s signature lo-fi production, Fokis delivers hard-won wisdom about betting on yourself and getting better with time.

High John is a prominent figure in the lo-fi hip-hop scene with over 200k monthly listeners on Spotify. His laid-back, sample-driven production style has earned him a dedicated following across Europe and beyond.

Born and raised on NY’s Lower East Side of Manhattan, Fokis has built an impressive career as an artist, producer, and entrepreneur. He’s toured and played shows with Common, Busta Rhymes, and The Game, while recording and mixing for artists like Big Daddy Kane, Fat Joe, and N.O.R.E.
