JJ Doze Explores Feelings of Self-Doubt in Brooding Rap Single “Who Am I”
Independent New York-based Rapper JJ Doze reflects on feelings of insecurity and uncertainty in his passionate new single “Who Am I”. This single, while undeniably danceable and punchy, gives listeners a profound insight into the rapper’s behind-the-scenes struggles. Reminiscent of rap icons like NF and Hopsin, JJ Doze deep dives into his experience of not knowing his purpose and finding his identity as overarching themes of this track. Throughout the single, the artist walks listeners through various situations that have inhibited his ability to find clarity in his purpose. JJ Doze uses the verses to elaborate on his experience – delivering lyrics characterized by sincere wisdom sharpened by rugged angst – and lets loose on anthemic choruses providing a much-needed cathartic moment for the heavy-hearted lyrical content of the verses. At its core, this single embodies a brooding sense of longing for guidance that anyone unsure of what the future holds can relate to.
JJ Doze prides himself on pushing his music to demonstrate a deep vulnerability; he faces his demons head-on and leaves everything on the table. The rapper does not shy away from examining the darkest depths of his experience, and “Who Am I” is no exception. In the midst of an inner war incited by shame, JJ Doze raps, “I’ve been looking at myself in the mirror, yeah. Wish I could say ‘I am proud of myself’ yeah,” providing listeners with deeply emotional, almost feverish imagery. He continues building anticipation for the chorus by peeling away another layer of anguish. “I lost the confidence inside my character,” he professes, “and I be thinking I will always be alone if I can never find it back.” JJ Doze shows up with raw lyricism, palpable passion, and a confident flow that keeps fans captivated and wanting more.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
