Tauranga, New Zealand — Creating music that reaches beyond the individual to the collective — capturing youth aspirations, vulnerability, and raw emotion — has never been more vital. In their daring new rework, rappers yourman3VAN and Xeomis transform 3VAN’s classic “Nothing Is the Same” into a remixed anthem for a globalizing audience.
Just as 3VAN redefined musical narratives for Gen Z audiences with his crystalline vision and championship DNA, this remix fuses sharp lyrical craftsmanship with introspective emotional depth to deliver something both familiar and entirely fresh to audiences worldwide. Crossing borders to make this collaboration work, this remix is blessed by Tauranga, New Zealand emcee Xeomis with his signature blunt and gritty delivery.
Evoking euphoria through theme and tone, the duo takes listeners on a journey through reflective verses, atmospheric echoes, and an unapologetic instrumental — staying true to the source while forging new frontiers. The opening immediately establishes a cinematic mood, weaving spacious reverse vocals and ambient textures beneath yourman3VAN’s introspective flow, before Xeomis enters with a gritty verse that grapple with self‑belief, doubt, legacy, and resilience.
“It isn’t about changing the song — it’s about recontextualizing how we speak to the same feelings,” says yourman3VAN.
This remix doesn’t just sound new — it feels new. It speaks to the aspirations and anxieties of contemporary youth culture, much like how 3VAN’s previous works gave voice to Gen Z’s raw emotions in a saturated musical landscape. Whether you’re grinding in your studio, lost in thought late at night, or driving through the city lights, this version of “Nothing Is the Same” becomes a soundtrack for personal reflection—and collective transcendence.
