Last year, Montao’s introduction to the music-sphere was simply triumphant.

With lead singles ‘What in the World?’ ft. Slug of Atmosphere, Koncept, and Lane Shuler, plus the Halloween House series ft. Copywrite and RoQy TyRaiD, landing a plethora of support including Xposure on Radio X, Chuck D’s show on Rapstation, plus an exclusive interview via Fresh on the Net

Montao has now returned with new offering ‘2223’ painting the picture of a post apocalyptic dystopian vivid landscape. 

He also couldn’t come empty handed, and so the track also includes a verse from Wu Tang Clan’s very own Masta Killa.

The new single is a combination of Hiphop, EDM, and everything else in between. With experimental cinematic production, building up to an incredible verse from Masta Killa, combined with Montao’s UK influenced unconventional sounds.

Montao said:

“This track was set out to be instrumental, but as the journey continues and develops so does the music….

I’ve always been a massive fan of Masta Killa, the most underrated member of Wu Tang Clan without a doubt. His vocals and signature style combined with the overall vision of 2223 has made it simply epic. Enjoy!"

This is to be the first of a few singles rolling out for Montao, proudly leading up to his debut album release ‘Echoes of the Cosmos’ due out later this year.

About Montao:

After decades of experience as a multi instrumentalist, recording artist, music publicist, artist manager, and everything else in between, these aspects have fused together and spawned a new musical landscape in the world of Montao.

Following the incredible success of his single releases to date, including a plethora of international radio support, multiple blog features, and playlist placements, Montao returns with string of releases dropping throughout the rest of 2023.

His collaborations to date include tracks with Slug (Atmosphere), Copywrite, Koncept, RoQy TyRaiD, and Lane Shuler, having elevated his status into newer heights.

His music transcends from the depths of quirky samples, sofa style beats, and paints a cinematic story based around all the elements of the stories he creates combining elements of Trip hop, Hip hop, and Lo-fi influences.

Encapsulated amidst the terrain of a curious and sometimes confusing world, Montao is putting things right…one beat at a time."I’ve always been mesmerised by tracks that effortlessly fill up the audio spectrum but still has tons of headspace. A real treat.”

"A suave mix of house and hip, with a jazz fusion overtone against a monster dragging backbeat...Montao shows that the speakers are the canvas and the mind is the brush.”

“A cross between Eminem and The Avalanches and more addictive than a tub full of Haribo Halloween treats.”
