Niino delivers his most personal project yet with new debut EP BLEET

Niino has officially released his brand-new EP, BLEET, a seven-track body of work that blends introspective storytelling, sharp lyricism and the raw realism that's become synonymous with his music.
Hailing from Rochdale with and Angolan background , Niino has spent years carving out his own lane, choosing authenticity over trends and substance over hype. Rather than chasing viral moments, the artist has built a catalogue rooted in lived experience—touching on fatherhood, ambition, street life, loss, identity and the pursuit of something greater than circumstance.
BLEET feels like the culmination of that journey so far.
The project opens with "Lose", featuring Edzor Talez, immediately setting an emotional tone as Niino reflects on what's at stake when you've fought to build something from nothing. That introspection continues into "I Don't Know", a track that strips away the façade of having all the answers, offering an honest look at uncertainty and self-reflection.
Things quickly shift gears with "Come Outside", a hard-hitting record packed with confidence, energy and quotable bars, before "Uss" injects personality and charisma into the project with effortless flows and memorable delivery.
On "Not A Star", Niino explores the idea of success beyond fame, making it clear that recognition has never been the end goal. Instead, the focus has always been on creating something with lasting value.
"BackPage" showcases some of the strongest storytelling on the EP, painting vivid scenes that blur the line between autobiography and observation, while closing track "Pain Flows" provides a fitting finale, unpacking the sacrifices, setbacks and emotional weight that often sit behind personal growth.
What separates BLEET from many independent releases is the sense that every track forms part of a wider narrative. Rather than a playlist of disconnected singles, the EP documents different chapters of Niino's life, balancing vulnerability with confidence and reflection with ambition.
Outside of music, Niino has also been expanding his creative footprint through entrepreneurship and technology. As the founder of RTD, he's been building digital products and creating opportunities that extend beyond music, reflecting an artist who sees independence as more than simply releasing records—it's about building something that lasts.
That mentality runs throughout BLEET. Every verse feels informed by experience, and every record contributes to a bigger picture of an artist continuing to evolve without losing sight of where he comes from.
With BLEET now available across all major streaming platforms, Niino 7even delivers a project that feels both personal and purposeful, marking another significant step forward for one of Rochdale's most distinctive independent voices.
