1. Little Prince

Little Prince is the first collaboration single presented by Rich Brian and Niki. Released in 2018, this song tells the story of Brian's journey in paving his career as an international rapper. Without forgetting his identity as being born in Jakarta, the song portrays that he has a secret to his success that he does not want to reveal, but he tries to show it to the world.

Niki's presence in this upbeat tempo song adds a unique touch to the 12th track in Brian's album AMEN. It is quite easy listening and the lyrics can give you the motivation to pursue your dreams.

2. Shouldn't Couldn't Wouldn't

In 2019, Niki and Rich Brian collaborated once again with a single titled Shouldn't Couldn't Wouldn't which is included in the album HEAD IN THE CLOUDS II. This slow tempo song depicts a complicated relationship between two people who seem to love each other, but there is no clear status in their relationship. The lyrics portray that the relationship must come to an end.

In this collaboration, Brian takes on the role of Niki's significant other. Shouldn't Couldn't Wouldn't might become a heart-wrenching song if you are experiencing a relationship similar to the one depicted in the song. However, regardless of that, the musicality of this song is of high quality, incorporating poppy and staccato elements with emotional vocals from both musicians.

3. California

In 2021, Niki and Rich Brian collaborated again through the single California. Not only the two of them, there is also Warren Hue, an Indonesian musician who recently joined 88rising in February 2021. Released during the pandemic, California is a breath of fresh air and meaningful entertainment for fans in Indonesia. Moreover, the three musicians from the homeland who have successfully gone international have created an incredibly cool work.

California tells the story of their adaptation process while living in California to pursue their careers. At first glance, living in California is dazzling for many people. However, there are always difficulties and adaptations that occur in the process. This song depicts that it is normal and experienced by anyone. So, as one of Niki and Rich Brian's latest releases, it is clear that this song is a must-have in your playlist.

4. Always Rising

Last but not least, the next collaboration comes through the single Always Rising which is the OST SHANGCHI AND LEGEND OF TEN RINGS that is included in the Marvel Universe. Once again collaborating with Warren Hue in this single, Always Rising is certainly a sweet surprise as well as a powerful collaboration from these three Indonesian musicians.

Those were the series of collaboration songs from Rich Brian and Niki, Indonesian musicians who have achieved global recognition. Which one is your favorite, KLovers?
