On December 17, 2019, we published a sub-article called "In addition to NOUS and the Red Flower Society in Xi'an, there is another person you can't help but understand."" For us, this is a very common push for 365 days a year. But for echo, the protagonist of the article, Wang Enzhe, he felt some emotions called touching.
Wang Enzhe Echo, from Yan'an, Shaanxi. In 2016, because of his good friend Hadi, Wang Enzhe Echo transformed from an amateur B-Boy who "didn't speak Mandarin" to Rapper, and the one that fascinated him the most was the "Golden Age" Old School, which also laid the foundation for his main musical style.
In his sophomore year, he tried to open a restaurant together, but Lady Luck did not take care of him, and the restaurant business ended in bankruptcy. After that, his life became rushing, doing a lot of industry work to pay off debts, until 2018, Wang Enzhe Echo won the Xi'an championship of the first eight-mile works competition with a song "Straighten Your Back", and decided to concentrate on rapping.
Echo, who has just paid off his debt, is not rich in hand, but since he has decided to officially start the road of rapping, the necessary promotion is also unavoidable. On November 11, Wang Enzhe Echo released his first Mixtape "Crooked Road", and promotion became his top priority.
At that time, Echo asked us how much it cost to write a public headline, and the specific number we gave was obviously beyond his psychological expectations. He said slightly humbly whether it was cheaper, and we suggested that he send it to the sub-article, so that he could wait until he had money to give it, even if he really didn't have any money to give, it didn't matter.
After this article was issued, it was read more than 6,000 times, and more than 20 heart-warming messages were more than 20 heart-warming messages, all of which were support and encouragement for Echo. According to Echo itself, his NetEase cloud added nearly 100 listeners after the article was published. For an obscure rapper, such achievements have already made him happy.
On August 30 last year, Echo held his first solo special show, and seeing the name of the show "incorrect", it was easy to guess that his main performance was the previous Mixtape "Crooked Road".
But looking at the pre-sale ticket price of only 60 yuan, I have to sigh that although rap music has flourished in China in recent years, we often see the bright and frequent brushing of the head rapper, and the rapper who is still quietly struggling like Echo still can't make too much money by relying on this profession.
Echo found us again the other day. This time Echo said he wasn't trying to get us to post for him again, because he really still didn't have much money; he was mostly trying to thank him for that help in 2019 and wanted to send us two copies of his latest entity, Mixtape, "Falling Dogs."
Real Talk is never absent from Old School. At the end of the lyrics of "Everything is Heaven's Arrangement", Echo said: "Sooner or later, one day the whole audience will hit me, they will shut up because I close my mouth, and everyone waits for me to appear, looking up and being silent." We can feel his dedication to the pursuit of his dreams. Then, the music turns into Echo's confession, he cuts all his confusion and confusion to show you, can you feel empathy?
In fact, in addition to love, there are many hates that can make Echo stick to it. He hated those who looked down on his family and himself, hated himself for not being angry and not being able to bring anything to his family. Stubborn personality, he can't stand others saying that he can't do it, and the more he says it, the more he has to do his best to do everything the best. In the subtitle MV of "Falling Water Dog", you can see this sentence "The one who can accompany me to this place is not only hard work but also a little hate".
One of the things he hopes to do about Hiphop is "delivery," which is why he insists on doing Old School. Echo hopes that his works will convey an energy to the audience, when encountering some difficulties in life, when encountering emotional setbacks, and when they want to vent when they are unhappy, everyone can continue to insist on going down with this "hate" and the strength to not accept defeat.
In addition to the heartfelt songs, Echo's songs are more live genres, and most of the people who know him at present have begun to pay attention to him after watching the scene. Like many rappers in China who have strength but have not yet reached the public vision, Echo is not bad, the difference is the audience that understands him, and the difference is the bigger stage.
In the MV of this "Chong", as a group of poor boys born from a small county in northern Shaanxi, Echo and AT use the northern Shaanxi dialect that you have not heard in Chinese rap, exporting their most "chong" attitude.
It is worth mentioning that NOUS's predecessor Yutou also forwarded this MV to encourage the children in northern Shaanxi.
Here's echo of a mixtape dog limited body.
