Kisos, Unbothered [📷: Miller Place]It is safe to say that independent, DIY pop artist Kisos is ‘unbothered’ on his short, sweet, and edgy diss track, “Unbothered.”

“Bitch, I’m unbothered.” Whoa! Have words ever sounded more profound?! Kisos is exactly what he says he is, “Unbothered”! He describes this brief but utterly entertaining song as ‘a playful, yet cutting diss track inspired by the hyphy sounds I grew up with.’ WORD. He adds, in the spirit of unbothered-ness, ‘Let a ho talk to the wall, say your peace, and live your best, unbothered life!’ Damn right, Kisos! I felt that!

 

“Unbothered” doesn’t require extensive analysis.  Kisos said what he said, and it’s relatable as ForUnderConsentoftheKing. At the top, he blesses our ears with the chorus, telling that bi-otch, “It’s goodbye from me.” As unbothered as he is, he doesn’t profess to be perfect himself. Good ole self-awareness! But, apparently, someone is accusing him of saying things he didn’t. His response to these nevers? “So put the smoking gun in a holster / And take a step back.” 100. His second verse is even more colorful, as he asserts, “You conveniently made me the villain / Guess your prophecies are self-fulfilling / Cuz all you see is what you wanna see.” ‘Tis a damn shame, isn’t it?  Of course, Kisos is U-N-B-O-T-H-E-R-E-D, PERIOD.  As always, he brings his A game, singing expressively and bringing plenty of playfulness to this diss track.  The musical backdrop superbly replicates those hyphy sounds he grew up with. The beat bangs, hitting you right in the chest. Short and sweet with an edge, “Unbothered” marks another banger from the ever-compelling artist.
