Rising Romanian artist aKa ESSERE (real name Octavian-Alex Tîlvăr) unveils his brand-new single apus in cairo, a smooth, West Coast-inspired track blending jazzy textures with reflective lyricism. The song marks a bold new chapter for the self-made vocalist, beatmaker, and producer.
Infused with chill, sunlit vibes, apus in cairo feels as timeless as a golden-hour drive or a quiet sunset. Built around relaxed, jazzy instrumentals, the track lifts moods even on rainy days, layering laid-back cool with an intimate lyrical core.
“The lyrics and vibe of this song are about how I outgrew past addictions and changed my lifestyle,” explains ESSERE. “It’s about coming out of a rough period on top, living my best life now, and being happy every day.”
Born in Romania and shaped by years spent studying in Italy and the UK, aKa ESSERE is an artist who thrives on fusion. Since his debut in 2019 with A Fi, he has fearlessly crossed genres, experimenting with bold textures on Excese and Stai Cuminte, delivering energy on his EP Testez Texte, and finding melodic depth in tracks like Tot Ce Vreau and Cine Sunt. His self-produced project APOLLO marked a turning point, with the standout single Caracatite highlighting his raw creativity and independence.
Now performing under the refined moniker aKa ESSERE, his sound has evolved into something cooler, smoother, and more refined. With apus in cairo, he captures the essence of transformation and growth, proving himself not just as a musician but also as a visual storyteller, directing, filming, and editing his own music videos.
As one of Eastern Europe’s rising creative voices, aKa ESSERE continues to redefine global hip-hop with authenticity, mood, and vision.
