NINO gets his shine on his latest track featuring frequent collaborators F.HERO, Twopee Southside, and FIIXD in the powerhouse (and aptly titled) single, “CEO.”

The prolific, highly sought-after producer who’s behind many of Thailand’s biggest hip hop hits—from YOUNGOHM to MILLI—shares the spotlight with the trio in a bombastic visual which he also co-directed.

The video ends with a montage of social media posts where NINO and his numerous collaborators share their past work in various stages of development.

The posse track is the HYPE TRAIN label’s latest high-profile release, following last month’s cypher, which featured its entire roster: OG Bobby, SPRITE, GUYGEEGEE, Seedaa Thevillain, Eskiimo, Iceace, and Don Kids—who, except for Seedaa Thevillain also had a cameo in the “CEO” visual, along with many other Thai rappers.

In a HipHopDX Asia exclusive interview with F.HERO last year, the Thai rap pioneer described how their native language makes for a unique hip hop sound, while also sharing that in recent years, more and more international sounds are being adopted by Thai producers.

He said, “The Thai-style pentatonic sound is like the sound that you can hear from YOUNGOHM or ILLSLICK which you can hear the unique Thai-style pentatonic sound when they start rapping melodically. But we are also open to more international sounds because [HYPE TRAIN producer] NINO’s beats also have an American vibe.”
