EYEDRESS: Genre-Bending Artist Unleashes "NEW MONEY" with Na-Kel Smith & N8NOFACE

• Eyedress (Idris Vicuña): A Filipino musician, singer-songwriter, rapper, and producer now based in Los Angeles. His eclectic sound spans bedroom pop, post-punk, indie pop, witch house, and hip hop. He gained significant viral success with hits like "Jealous" and "Something About You." Eyedress is known for his woozy, lo-fi aesthetic and his ability to blend various rock, pop, and electronic styles into a distinctive sound.

• Na-Kel Smith: An American skateboarder, rapper, songwriter, and actor from Los Angeles. He rose to prominence as a member of the hip hop collective Odd Future. His music is primarily hip hop, often characterized by a "frenetic and chaotic style," and he's known for his raw, unbridled energy.

• N8NOFACE: An artist hailing from Tucson, Arizona, now in Los Angeles, whose sound defies easy categorization. His music is often described as minimal-wave/synth-punk, with elements of industrial hip-hop, darkwave, and raw punk. He's known for his short, impactful songs, often under a minute, built around stark, evocative lines and simple, hummable hooks, delivering stories from the underbelly of his surroundings.

"NEW MONEY" is a standout track from Eyedress' sixth studio album, Stoner, which was released in April 2025. The music video for the song, directed by renowned photographer and skateboarder Atiba Jefferson, premiered on July 22, 2025.

Lyrically, "NEW MONEY" features the line "Superstar, racecar," hinting at themes of success, status, and perhaps the fast-paced, high-stakes lifestyle that comes with achieving them. Given the collaborators' backgrounds in skateboarding and their raw, punk-influenced styles, the song likely delves into the grind, aspirations, and perhaps the sometimes gritty realities associated with "new money" within their respective scenes. The music video explicitly "pays homage to skate culture," reinforcing these thematic ties to identity, ambition, and the rebellious spirit often found in skate and punk communities.
