There’s artists who create waves, and then there are artists who craft entire movements. Daidough, the New Jersey native who’s not just riding the drill wave but carving it, falls in the latter category. Today, we’re celebrating the prodigal son’s return with a sledgehammer of a single titled “Or Nah.” Produced by the beat-sorcerer BS Beats, this track marks the official reawakening of Daidough, who’s poised to flood the scene with fresh content, music, and so much more.

New Jersey’s drill scene was hardly a blip on the radar until Daidough came charging through like a storm. His unique blend of grit, authenticity, and the undeniable Jersey swag breathed life into a sub-genre that’s now causing seismic tremors across the music industry.

When Daidough first emerged from the shadows of Jersey’s gritty streets, he brought with him a sound that was so raw, so unapologetic, it could only be described as electrifying. The drills and melodies he created weren’t just music; they were war cries, anthems for the streets, and an unabashed celebration of Jersey pride. With tracks like “No Lettin Up PT 2”, “Wop For Wop”, “Yo Gotti”, “Key To The Streets”, “Self Made”, “Annoying”, “A Hood Near You” and “Ghetto Melodies”, Daidough single-handedly gave birth to the Jersey drill movement.

Fast forward to 2023, and Daidough is back with a vengeance. “Or Nah,” his latest single produced by the ever-talented BS Beats, doesn’t just pick up where he left off—it catapults him into a new dimension of musical domination. From the moment the beat drops, you’re smacked in the face with a wave of nostalgia, but it’s crystal clear that Daidough isn’t content with living in the past. This is evolution, this is growth, and this is the birth of something colossal.

“Or Nah” is more than a track; it’s a statement. The lyrics are a poetic manifesto, dripping with Daidough’s signature audacity and Jersey aura. His flow is sharp, his wordplay is intricate, and the energy he brings is like an adrenaline shot straight to the heart. With a beat that’s as infectious as it is menacing, you’ll be nodding your head and screw-facing like a true Jersey native.

This isn’t just a single release; it’s a declaration of intent. Daidough is here to stay, and he’s about to flood the game with an onslaught of content. If “Or Nah” is any indication, we’re in for a tidal wave of heat. His return is timely, and the anticipation for what he has in store is reaching fever pitch.

Daidough’s journey from Jersey streets to rap royalty is one for the books, and he’s not just a pioneer but an innovator. He’s transformed Jersey drill from a local subculture into a global phenomenon. With “Or Nah” as his battle cry, Daidough is letting the world know that he’s not just here to reclaim his throne; he’s here to build an empire.

So, whether you’re a Jersey drill die-hard or a casual hip-hop fan, do yourself a favor and bump “Or Nah.” Daidough’s comeback is a siren call, and we’re all about to be swept away by the tsunami of his artistry. Jersey drill is back in full force, and it’s time to welcome the king of the scene home.

“Or Nah” is out now, and it’s time to turn up the volume, embrace the energy, and let Daidough’s electrifying return shake your world.

It’s amazing to see how much progress has been made, not only in the world of music but also in terms of tolerance and acceptance of different genres worldwide. Reflecting on their childhood, many can relate to not being allowed to listen to certain types of music, let alone pursue a career in it.

Growing up in a Greek household, there were limitations, and pursuing a career in music seemed like a distant dream. In many families, the expectation was to follow a more conventional path, such as becoming a teacher or a doctor. Back then, familial support for artistic endeavors was rare. However, as we step into 2024, things have significantly changed.

Parents are now not only supportive but encouraging of their children pursuing their creative dreams. There’s a newfound appreciation for the creative arts, and families play a crucial role in nurturing and supporting their children’s aspirations. This shift marks a significant change in societal attitudes towards creativity and the arts.

The 12-track project, heavily influenced by New York drill with elements from the Vermont music scene, offers a smooth listening experience. The album not only showcases Faxohzrd’s confidence but also his passion for music.

As someone once told us, there’s a difference between artists who create to connect with their audience and those who create solely for profit. Faxohzrd aims to move his crowd and make them experience his music fully.

For example, in “Kobe Bryant,” he displays his pen game and wordplay, cleverly referencing the late Kobe Bryant’s jersey number, 24. Faxohxzrd takes his shot and never misses.

“Lobotomy” is a straight pen track where he exhibits some of his best bars, blending boom-bap and drill beats, giving off takeover vibes as he talks about eliminating his competition as if performing a lobotomy.

“On Me” is a track dedicated to the ladies. Faxohxzrd acknowledges the women in his life, recognizing how they have always supported him and declaring his affection for his dream woman. The song gave me a taste of Mac Miller while listening to it.

Although these were our favorites from the project, without giving too much away, you need to check out the entire project for yourself.

Lil $o$o Enjoys The View In New Visual “Passion”

Enlisting Sexyy Red director Suave Films for the Remdolla produced small screen interpretation, Lil $o$o signals a compelling exploration beyond her usual Rap style and leans into the realm of R&B with the release of “Passion.” Following “Enhancements,” the timely track unveils a vulnerable dimension that showcases her versatility as an artist. With emotive lyrics and a smooth melody, “Passion” shines light on a deeper layer of $o$o’s artistry, inviting listeners into a journey of introspection and raw emotion.

In a press statement to Medium Creative Agency about single, the Issa Rae-approved “Florida Girl” reveals: “I love this record because it really shows another side of me. Sometimes, I feel like people are so materialistic or surface level, and I really am starting to see that ‘real’ is rare. I hope to find something deeper than that and that’s what made me put that into my music.”

There’s something in the water. From the City Girls to Kodak Black, with a long list of others, the Sunshine State has been the stomping ground for hip-hop’s culture shifters. Entertainer Lil $o$o is looking to keep that tradition alive. Despite being native to Chicago, since moving to Miami in her early childhood, she’s proudly claimed it as her musical home.

The 22-year-old Colombiana, whose real name is Sofia Donado, has persevered through trauma and pain and continues to show up for herself and her 3-year-old son, who she’s raising as a single mom. Lil $o$o’s boyfriend was gunned down in 2019, while sitting in his car, leaving her without a partner and their son without a father. He was in the music business, and after his passing, Lil $o$o found healing in discovering her musical voice. The result was upbeat rhythms intended to make people dance, smile, and feel free. It was the only way she knew how to make things better.

After laying the groundwork with promo singles “Better Life,” “Go Ooh,” “Bad Attitude,” and “Woo Tang,” the rising rapstress made her official debut Summer of 2022 with ‘$o$o World.’ Executive produced by mentor and label head LunchMoney Lewis, the 14-track collection of records includes additional instrumentation from JulianBeatz, SFL Xavi, TheonlyDiet, Toju, BrianXWhite, Diem, and SoundsbyBreezy. Guest features come by way of Roc Nation recording artist Bobby Fishscale, XXXTentacion affiliate C Glizzy, Warner Records vocalist Savannah Cristina, and Nelle.
