KOTA The Friend - Dear Fear (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) 

Have a wonderful night ladies and gentlemen, good day to those in a different zone but im glad we're all connected by these great artists

Kota the friend actually saved my life. The last four years of my life have been the worst years of my life, I went through a lot not just with family problems, but relationships, as well as having the most important problem, loving myself. I never used to love myself, and I struggled a lot with actually doing so. But I can, for once in my whole life, look in the mirror and finally say "Wow, I look good. Wow, I look handsome. Any girl I date would be really lucky to have me", and Kota, it was all thanks to you. Idk how it makes sense, but in my head it does, ever since I listened to your music for the first time, I cannot tell you how much happier I've ever been. The first song of yours I listened to was MI Casa and I am grateful for the friend that first showed me that song as well. I love you so much Kota, I hope you know how great you are, and I hope that there are more ppl out there that can have a similar experience like me, cause you truly heal the most broken of hearts. Love you Kota "my" friend ❤

There are artist that just make songs and there few are artist that give you doses of medicine. What separates KOTA is his was of articulating pain, growth, passion/love through this art form called music is something a few can do. “We hear his music but we also feel his music”

I swear Kota makes the weather here seem warm as fudge when it's actually 0 and feels like - however cold.

Kota, you've helped me so so much. In the space of the last twelve months, I've been through a relationship of 3 years breakdown, suicide attempts, two overdoses, to eventually getting clean in rehab, and finding love for myself. Your music is something that constantly bolsters my mood and motivates me to achieve better within my surroundings. I celebrate 4 months clean (121 days, 19 hours and 19 minutes clean as of this moment) and your music has helped me every step of the way. Much love.

I love that he finally released a song that actually felt complete, I understand the purpose of the shorter tracks, quality over quantity but I loved that this was a 3 minute plus song

"It's time for me to get up & get to where I am headed" and that last verse, damn that hit hard. mad respect for what you do. much love

Love you kota, always helping us through life.

Just ran this back three times and let it sink in, this is a masterpiece in its own right, I can only imagine why the album’s gonna be like

At this point I’ll just comment on every video! This one Roightttt hereeeee 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The second verse is incredible…and therapeutic 🙏🏾

I'm glad I found this man grateful for hes passing message and the blessings

All this positivity is like we actually are human beings that are on this journey. Love you all. KOTA leading us to bigger things.

That man can't miss a shot

Chorus gave me goosebumps....

Kota out here rappin how he livin.. put respect on that 💯💯💯

I discovered mans in 2019 when I was depressed and in a laundromat puffing a vape pen. Now we here, more healthy and this gem just dropped ✌️

This is dope man. You’ve always got the smoothest hooks. Feeling this one

The sound and picture are amazing I'm really immersed in it Thank you thank you

Thid song changed the way i look at my conversations with myself. It changed the way i look at interactions between me and others. Thank you kota.

You released this for me huh. I just realized that my subconscious fears are inhibiting me. Trauma has made me think any mistake will lead to or add up to death. So I remain stagnant. If i can’t do it perfect I wouldn’t do it at all. But now I welcome fear once again because I know I need uncomfortable. I see my own irrationalities but they are still there

I’m 32 years old and have been abusing drugs most of my life due to issues I’ve never wanted to deal with. You can’t run away from your demons forever. This year I really felt like I wanted to end it all I prayed to god to send me a sign and while I was driving this song came on and it really hit me hard. Kota you really saved my life man. I’ve been sober for 2 months now. I have my ups and downs but I always throw on your tracks to feel better. Thanks brother from the bottom of my heart

This joint brought me some tears.

It taken me 16 listen to finally understand what he was saying. & it broke me down to tears. Becuz what he talking about, I Felt my whole life. I use to use my hatred motivate me. & it difficult moving off love sometimes

Hearing this for the first time… I couldn’t have heard it at a better point in my life…

the truth is like a double edged sword

Kota the Friend is more than an artist he speaks all the unspoken words that I wish I could say ans feel in ways that healthy used to speed and full sends only on waves and half pipes and not I found the love of my life and he flows in a way where being scared or vulnerable is normal and can be am escape and not just a prison like I once thought Thank you Kota

His music always gets me so emotional. Thank u.

when people see you growing surpassing what they imagined they quick to call you a fraud attempting to steal your magic ..

I just love how kota always makes his music multi-dimensional. Like fr how many rappers out there can talk about their break-up without being petty and with so much empathy for the other person? After all that he's been through, Kota still wishes her well and acknowledges how much she had meant to him. But in the end, things happened and kota gotta move on bc it is what it is. Such a powerful song all around :) Love, from Korea

"When people see you growing passing what they imagine they quick to call you a fraud tryna steal your magic" so fckin tru

Very few songs can make me want to make an actual difference in my life. Kota is special.

This is what music should be.

Music for the soul Kota🎼🎙️🎶🎹... Love from South Africa

I love when I discover music that inspires me to tell my story. Kota you deserve healing and peace. I hope to touch people like you do with the music I'm creating even its its 1 or billions.

My ears thank KOTA for our cherished friendship

Yoh,been listening these tracks back to and I can tell bruh you is a story teller,MadLuv from Kenya

@KOTA the friend... I'm sending you love and support from South Africa, Port Elizabeth. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

one of the most profound lessons my mother ever taught me is that hate isn't the opposite of love, fear is. This song hits

Fear is a lesson sometimes baby it be a blessing im headed far away lost in my own days hearing words writing dear fear baby sometimes these days whispering the end is near (voicechanger tender) ❤

this man has truly perfected his craft 🙏

U became my favorite rapper overnight...wow...you are IT

That chorus though😩😩😩✨

I’ve been going through some shit lately, then I found this. I can believe how much I relate to this music. People would say that this music is nothing special, but to me this music is my therapy☺️

Thank you …. I needed this man

Thank you for being a light 💡

Man is secretly talented wished he got the Recognition he deserved.

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Thank you KOTA. Literally Divine messaging

Man this song made me cry, I feel that fear creeping back in my life. My grandpa passed away of the middle of last year and lost my grandma on Christmas Eve and im low on funds, starving from depression. This song is so good it hurts. Thank you Kota for being who you are and making such music in a dark world

Soul food, no chitlins and grits.

I swear you don’t miss. Always keeping true to yourself

Dope asf ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 . . Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

I just recently discovered kota, who else should I listen to. I absolutely love this positive music. I’ve been dealing with depression my whole life but I feel the fog lifting and I’m starting to do better, and having music like this does wonders for my brain.

Kota the friend is so underrated , he’s such a great rapper and artist what i love about his songs is he’s honest with us about what he goes trough and put it’s a song that we can relate to 💯he keeps it 100 with his fans . I also fw hella his chill vibe to his songs you can listen to them anywhere and relax. I love you Kota the friend 💙

Kota is so underrated. I found him two years ago and been following his trajectory ever since. He deserves so much more success and he’s going to get it very soon…I can just feel it. As a relatively unknown and underground rapper myself, Kota gives me a lot of hope for what I can accomplish with hard work and consistency. One day Kota and I are going to make a song together that’s going to blow tf up. Manifesting 🙏🏻❤️🔥

big up from France !!!

Lately I’ve been out growing my oldest friends .. and I’ve been trying to word how I feel to them and this song is exactly how I feel

We need to push more music like this. Fr.

South A respects you King🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Darn it no wordz wow man🕊

Free time 👌🤗

One Day Kota will be a classic

Very beautiful vibes with this joint. Put me in a calm state of mind.

Thank you Kota. After hearing this song. I shared it to the people who mattered to me. With it, a note about how I wasn't there when they were reaching out to me. "If ever I was distant before, I apologize. I needed time to feel things and recover. 2020 and tbh these past couple of years have been extrmeely difficult for me especially I felt the whole world has always been against me, but I am grateful for brothers who understand. People who genuinely care and love and please know that I give the same energy but I show it different now and only to those who deserve it because I'm tired of wasting things and parts of me that I won't be able to recover, but I love each and every one of you looking out for me." Big ups to you man and I'm hoping that you'll keep making great music.

i wish i could integrate this vibe into my life

Been listening from day 1 and still doing so. It helps, it cures, it heals, it relieves a weight. Thanks for the masterpiece from France ♥

This right here hit deep... thank you KOTA ☮

I'm not sure if you will see this Kota, but I really appreciate your body of work/discography. It's timely and personally has helped me experience growth within myself. Thank you for real for real. Your music means a lot to me.

This is food for the soul, u can feel it

Kota just reminded me why he's my favorite rapper ❤️

Kota heals my mind

I'm crying, feel so relatable, this Is ART💖🥺

Sometimes I wanna disappear. This keeps me grounded and I’m talking about being on top instead of in it. Thank you Kota.

Sincerely🙌🏾❤️🔥🔥

This and Contact are 2 incredibly beautiful songs. Beautifully written, and the beats are so uplifting.

this album is so mature. the maturity he displays on this song by writing a letter to his fear not only to say how much it crippled him but to also acknowledge how much it drove him to wards his goals - beautiful!

Can't stop listening to this. Thank you kota, I mean it from my chest man. You a gift in my life.

I love you Kota, for 4 years now you’ve been guiding me with lovely sounds and truth. You’re one of my favorite of all time, you’re a beautiful soul and have always helped my head stay high and if not at least I saw the truth. Hope you are enjoying life and living through more revelations.

care with kota, give him 2 minutes and he might f around and have u living ur best life in another 2 weeks

Dear fear... let me fly, please... 🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶

My deer is taking the wheel, and I don't know when will be the time the we learn to forgive, to get along with each other, but I saw Kota's points in the lyric that just undeniable. So I leave this cmt here, waiting for the day I come back and confirm the things I learn throughout the journey.

commenting for the youtube algorithm. blessings for Kota

I don’t think i’ve related so much to a song in so long. as an artist myself, it can get really frustrating because you don’t want to force certain motions in your life but you have too sometimes. every year you say this is your year but here come youth and fear and unpredictable atmospheres that try to steer your clear gets harder to look in the mirror. i’m turning 22 in February and i’ve been experimental with my music since I was 16. hopefully we can make music together one day and make something special. bless up man, this shit gonna be on repeat.

this is dope ,a vibe

If you never let in that pain you never learn how to love.🔥💯💖

The flow on this one is so lit

Kota is the friend we need in 2022

THANK YOU KOTA FOR EVERY SONG YOU DROP. I shed tears at almost every song you drop. This is my whole resolution for this new year. this whole attitude of this entire song.

bro you are my fav rapper rn no cap.

I can't put into words how much these verses have helped me already Kota ❤️ thanks man and I hope you are well

the title reveal at the end is a nice touch

i love kota so much. ❤️ go you champ. whole world is behind you dawg 💞

Got this as an add and didn’t even notice very nice flow to it ✔️

Been vibing with KOTA since 2016...loving the growth of his base🤞🏼
