AUGUST 08 drops the visual to his debut track FUNERAL, the first single from his forthcoming project, FATHER, which is set for release via 88rising and Red Bull Records

88rising’ newest signee, AUGUST 08, releases the new video for his debut single ‘Funeral‘ and it serves as an introduction to AUGUST 08 and his forthcoming project ‘Father’, set to release later in 2018.

“Opens old wounds and suppressed emotions while tussling with mortality and pleading for honesty in the moment over synths, distorted hi-hats and futuristic frequencies”. – Vibe Magazine.

Despite only recently announcing his solo career, AUGUST 08 has already earned the praise of major outlets including Pigeons & Planes and The 405. Last month, he grabbed attention from renowned music critics when he was featured on ‘Arizona‘, a track on 88rising collective mate Rich Brian’s newest project, ‘Amen’. Since then AUGUST 08 has made his live debut performing alongside Joji, Keith Ape, Higher Brothers and more during 88rising’s Double Happiness Tour and is currently opening for the European leg of Rich Brian’s sold-out Come To My Party Tour.

Who is AUGUST 08? Born and raised in the lesser than Hollywood side of Los Angeles, AUGUST 08 has accomplished a feat that many are unable to attest to: escape the gravitational pull of the street life and successfully make a living out of his passion. He began his music career as a writer and producer for others but has now turned to focus on his own art. ‘Funeral’ is a grand introduction to how, through music, AUGUST 08 takes control and finds solitude. Stay tuned for more from AUGUST 08.
