In 2020, Nyck released
Open Flame, a short and playful EP meant to tease his long-awaited debut album,
Anywhere But Here. Well, the time is now, as the Brooklyn emcee finally drops the homegrown effort today, January 15.
Anywhere But Here to deal with the untimely passing of his father. Several tracks, including the harrowing opener, “December 24th,” detail Nyck’s wrestling with traumatic loss. Much like 2016’s
