Ruiijikun, making Mondays great again.
Bursting through with his talent, love of music, and enthusiasm to share nothing but vibes in his beat tapes and collaborations. Ruiijikun (@ruiijikun) has been making waves over the last few years.
Ruiijikun, an independent music producer and beat maker, has brought us cozy vibes with his Kozzy Times. It was all about performing and sharing the sound when he came up with the idea for ‘Kozzy Times.' It was a method of getting himself out there by doing episodes and showcasing some of his chill and comfort-inducing beats. In subsequent episodes, he invited his friends to play with him, allowing them to showcase their own music as well. People grew to appreciate the Kozzy Times as time passed by, because it was all about “nuttin’ but vibes.”
Let's take a step back from Kozzy Times and appreciate Ruiijikun’s new beat tape, "SANE."
Before the pandemic, you may have happily going out, and creating memories with your friends and family, making the very most out of your lives. Now, you’re stuck in the four corners of your room, possibly working from home and simply living from one day to the next. You frequently listen to music to make yourself feel better. Vibing through the beat, staring down at your phone or computer, scrolling through your work or feed.
Have you ever reached a point where you couldn't take it anymore? Isn't it enough to drive you nuts when you're thinking and feeling all of this? "SANE." perfectly addresses that. Finding a method to break free from the thousand feelings he's experiencing and realizing that he needs something to latch on to. Out of the insanity he experienced, he created a masterpiece. He creates by just being there. Life is full of mysteries, and so is the outcome of everything we’re doing. Nothing is guaranteed. It was neither about him nor about you. It was in between all of us, being available, and just getting into it.
"The motion is the creation, so forget about being the noun and just be the verb." - Ruiijikun.
Finding a way to be sane amidst insanity is something we should hold on to. Being inspired and motivated by the things we love doing is something we shouldn’t forget about. As time goes by, we’ll be remembering these things because they were what made us happy, and is constant in our lives. Whatever happens, simply keep creating the things you really want to create. It'll all work out in the end. It's all about the ugly and the success found in between. We still have a lot to live for, right? Creating something out of our emotions could be the best thing that ever happens to us, because every masterpiece is born out of a tragedy.
