AMERICAN RAPPER TREY DAY IS MORE THAN A VIRAL SENSATION

My main focus though is making my life stories come to life. Give the world my stories through music to let everyone know they are not alone. Whether it’s heartbreak, love, death, partying or smoking you’re not alone. Everyone goes through hard aches and good times, it’s called Life.
Hello Trey Day, Thanks for coming to Honk Magazine to talk about your career.
Tell us a little more about when you first got into music?
Trey Day : That’s a funny story, I didn’t even wanna be a rapper/artist. I was going to college at Columbia in Chicago as a photographer until I met a life long friend Dennis Caravello. He told me I should try making music, just on the fact that I wrote a lot of poetry in my phone and in books. He took me to the studio and at the time he was recording he told me just jump in and next thing you know I love it. Changed my whole Maher to music business and Audio production,Once u start it’s like u cants stop
If you could describe your sound/style in one word, what would it be and why?
Trey Day: I would say RAGE. I say this because my music is sad boy. I talk about my life, what’s going on in it and what I’m actually doing between heartbreaks, party, love, traveling, the hood aspects of my life and friends. Just got a lot of pain behind me so that influences the rap singing combo.
What would you say to any aspiring recording artists who look up to your work?
Trey Day: That’s what’s up, send me some music and let’s work. I believe in helping other artists but it’s also a business but if they go hard I got up, let’s work.
What quote or mantra do you live by?
Trey Day : “Life is A Mess” – Juice Wrld
What is your hobby outside of music?
Trey Day: I’m really into watching Anime, smoking a lot of buds and skateboarding. If I had a perfect day it would include all of these things during the day and then to cap it off a night studio session making bangers. Also only smoke backwoods period, I hate games and all that other shit only leafs for me.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Trey Day : Not in pa no more that’s for sure def still making music and touring prob own my own label and just living life to the best as possible see the world a bit.
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why.
Trey Day: stack your bread to at least 10 racks to get all ur shit in order llc for your brand and you for promotion by ur self a laptop to keep all ur shit in order, and mass use for recording and promotion and go in on one song at a time instead of just throwing a whole project out with no plan. Deff gotta have a plan. And most def release a music video with the single and drop it on the same day as u you do all platforms.
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
Trey Day: have some days just for yourself take days for You and do more for yourself. Take care of yourself number one rule to succeed
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
Trey Day: yeah I got “Rose Wrld” Ep dropping October 31st and then My Second studio Album “Broken Rose 2” drops 2022 summer at the beginning of it. Then that leads into my very own anime series called Broken Rose dropping 2022 December. You’re going to see me a lot more. I’m going to be hype. I’m going to be doing shows I wanna rage with you guys and get turnt with a backwood blowing gas in the air with a henny bottle in my hand taking over the industry independently.
What is the inspiration behind your latest song?
Trey Day: Moonlight Yeah that’s shit hits hard , I like smoking weed outside at night and I’m a boss so I talked my shit let people know I can really rap too I’m not just a artist or a sing-rapper.

“Subterranean Homesick Blues” finds a new direction through Ghost of Panama
Rearranging a song that carries six decades of cultural weight is a creative challenge, but Ghost of Panama approaches “Subterranean Homesick Blues” with clear purpose. The rock band radically reworks Bob Dylan’s counter-culture hit, reshaping its identity while keeping its rebellious spirit. It’s a tribute to musical heritage and a statement of artistic independence all in one.
This new interpretation is very much shaped by the production, made at Ghost of Panama’s home studio in West London. The setting allows an intimate approach to reinterpreting a familiar song and lets the group engage directly with the material, taking it in a new artistic direction.
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” centers on the tension between conservation and transformation. Ghost of Panama is true to the song’s rebellious spirit without adding to its legacy, and this approach gives the release an adventurous feel, grounded in countercultural energy but driven by a desire to see what the composition can become in a different musical context.
Their version of this 60-year-old classic shows that respecting a song’s history can also mean breaking the rules and finding new ways to express its spirit. Fundamentally, “Subterranean Homesick Blues” presents Ghost of Panama as artists who want to engage with the past without being tied to it. The release’s strongest identity is a familiar heritage reimagined through a singularly forward-looking creative vision.

“NO MORE” by Amanda Holley connects healing, awakening, and survival
“NO MORE“ carries that kind of emotional weight, and some songs feel like they come from lived experience but reach for something bigger. Amanda Holley blends R&B and soul, turning a lifetime of survival into a vision of healing, awakening, and the determination to move beyond what caused the pain.
“NO MORE“ is a healing anthem for people who have gone through bad experiences and reached a place of higher awareness, but it’s also an emotionally charged protest. The duality is introspective and outward-looking at the same time, turning personal survival into a broader declaration that some experiences, conditions, or cycles should end.
Holley had a premonition of the song six months before the world went into global shutdown. In the vocal booth, working out melodies with her collaborators, she pictured people in the streets. Those images were hard to imagine at the time, but subsequent events would make them painfully familiar.
“NO MORE“ is given a particularly contemplative underpinning by the context. The identity of R&B and soul leaves room for emotion. The song’s themes link survival, awakening, resistance, and the need for change. Amanda Holley is an artist using music to process personal endurance and a broader sense of social awakening. It’s got a complicated significance, and its release feels like a glimpse of a moment when personal intuition and public reality collided in an unexpected way.
