Featured Tune: "Running From The Past" from Nearian

Facing the Ghosts, Finding the Fight

Nearian’s Running From The Past lands like a late-night reckoning you didn’t plan for but somehow needed. The track feels raw and immediate, built on a foundation of emotional hip-hop that doesn’t hide behind polish or bravado. Instead, it leans into vulnerability, letting regret, reflection, and self-awareness drive the momentum.

There’s a restless energy running through the song, as if each beat is pushing against the weight of old mistakes. Nearian’s delivery carries a quiet intensity—controlled, but never detached. You can sense the internal tug-of-war between self-sabotage and healing, between wanting to shut the world out and wanting to be understood. It’s this tension that gives the song its pulse. Nothing here feels exaggerated for effect; the honesty cuts deeper because it sounds lived-in.

Sonically, the track mirrors its emotional core. The production stays moody and restrained, creating space for the narrative to breathe. Rather than overwhelming the listener, it pulls them closer, inviting them into a mental space where reflection isn’t comfortable, but it’s necessary. The result feels less like a performance and more like an open admission.
