Charleston-based artist Lost Coop has been performing since childhood, with an initial focus on guitar ballads. Since 2018, he has been experimenting with adding vocals to hip-hop beats. On Friday, he dropped a new single, “nothing for me.” The track is a collaboration with producer and artist NoLandWest.
“Nothing for me” pairs a loose and jangly hip-hop beat with soulful vocals that tend towards the ethereal. The repeated line, “There ain’t nothing for me / there ain’t nothing to see” gives an air of hopelessness, while a rap verse midway through the track adds grit.
Overall, “nothing for me” is a song that melds smooth listenability with deeper contemplation, exploring a self-deprecating outlook that is relatable to anybody who has experienced loneliness.
