In Collaboration with Base + Zora
Live at NeueHouse Hollywood 11/08

Heno. + NeueHouse invite you to experience the preview of I'm Tired of Being Hypersurveilled, a concept album where artist Heno. confronts the relentless daily surveillance he experiences as a black man in America.

The program will preview the new 14-track project through a musical showcase and presentation of the accompanying music video game, directed by long-time collaborator Taramoves. The short musical performance will be followed by a conversation with the artists, moderated by Kas Vegas, and following time for the audience to engage in gameplay.

Hailing from Takoma Park, Maryland, Heno. is a first-generation Ethiopian-Eritrean artist, Heno. uses his music to find comfort within uncomfortable conversations, deftly bridging music, Web3, and social advocacy.

Mixed Desi artist, animator, and educator, Taramoves bridges identity and digital innovation, examining how technology reshapes our sense of self through film, live visuals, and immersive experiences.

Connecting education with community, Kas Vegas continues to passionately support and onboard new creatives. In the rapidly emerging NFT space, she bridges the gap between art, tech, culture and provenance, and brings an enthusiastic voice to new projects, ventures, and creators.

This is the lyric video for Heno.'s summer single, "Simmer Down" featuring Latashá & J.Robb.

This lyric video serves a video within the context of short narrative pieces Heno. has been bringing onchain following his latest release "Can't Lose My Cool"; which was apart of Base's Onchain Summer campaign minted on Zora as well. This is also the last single Heno. will release before shifting gears into his highly anticipated project, "I'm Tired of Being Hypersurveilled".

Stream SIMMER DOWN on all platforms or grab on secondary on Zora Network!!

Written by Heno.
Featuring Latashá
Produced by J.Robb
Directed by Tara Morris

“Can’t Lose My Cool” is the latest addition to a cinematic world built through short, narrative pieces by Takoma Park, Maryland rapper Heno as a prologue to his forthcoming, full-length album, I’m Tired of Being Hypersurveilled. Using America’s invasive surveillance culture as the bedrock for a deeper, psychological analysis of self and surroundings, I’m Tired of Being Hypersurveilled is more than a collection of songs but a highly conceptual, thoughtfully themed critique against the invisible, all-seeing eye surveying today’s society and how it continues to support the oppressive systems that disproportionately impacts Black lives.

Through the brief previews provided through teasers like “Can’t Lose My Cool,” Heno. continues his slow-burning rollout as he hints towards something major to come.

(Song: SIMMER DOWN by Heno. featuring Latashá & J.Robb out now!)

If you're searching for the perfect soundtrack to accompany your impending summer soirées, look no further than Heno.'s fresh-off-the-press single "Simmer Down." This exuberant feel-good bop, featuring the extraordinary talents of Latashá & J.Robb of Selection, doesn't merely offer a musical treat - it serves as an uplifting testament to resilience and equanimity amidst life's inevitable adversities.

The track's overarching message about staying calm in the face of adversity serves as a valuable lesson in these tumultuous times. This isn't your ordinary summer anthem - it's a triumphant hymn for those battling their inner storms, a reminder to dance amidst the chaos and to celebrate the sunshine that follows the rain.

This video is the first ever Coachella video performance onchain.

Artist, Producer & Web3 builder Heno. is seen performing his hit record "Neybors", a Web3 native song that has gone viral in the traditional music world, at Week 2 of Coachella in partnership with Google Pixel & GV Black. Much love again to PIMLR as well as Zora & Lens for sponsoring!

"Neybors" features Elujay & J.Robb (of Soulection) + is available now on all streaming platforms. Heno. is also accompanied by Wali Ali Jr. live on the Talk Box.
