The passage of time is relentless, but few capture its quiet melancholy like Romanchikku in his latest track, « We All Getting Older ». With a hypnotic Lofi old-school beat and introspective lyricism, the Hackensack, New Jersey artist turns aging into poetry. « Is it really done, is it the end ? » he muses, his voice drifting like autumn leaves in a gentle breeze. The music video, directed and edited by Romanchikku, visually echoes this sentiment: a sunlit park, golden foliage, a playground where childhood memories linger. As he lies back on a slide, reminiscing, the camera follows him across an empty basketball court and finally into a dimly lit cinema, where his journey unfolds on screen. The visuals, drenched in nostalgia, remind us that life is fleeting, but its beauty lies in the moments we choose to hold onto. This is Romanchikku at his most vulnerable—raw, poetic, and deeply personal. Slash Music is proud to introduce this rising talent, whose music speaks to the soul of a generation seeking meaning in the passage of time.

A Poet of Time: Romanchikku’s Evolution and Future
Born from the heart of alternative hip-hop, Romanchikku is more than just a rapper—he’s a storyteller. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, Tyler, The Creator, and Action Bronson, he crafts sonic landscapes that blend intricate poetry with effortless flow. His previous project, « Roman’s Repose », explored youthful ideals through the persona of Rolo Brown, a character that embodied his inner child.
Now, as he gears up for the release of « Rolo’s Reprieve » in Spring 2024, his artistry reaches new heights. With over 68,000 listeners, 331,000 streams, and 11,000 hours of playtime on Spotify in 2024, he’s proving that independent artists can carve out their own lane. « Life can be a drag, but you can drag it backwards, » he once wrote on Instagram—a testament to his philosophy of embracing both nostalgia and forward motion. 2025 has just begun, but keep an eye on Romanchikku—his journey is far from over.
