Liljayydoe threads truth and talent into “In My Genes”

Honk Magazine Default

Liljayydoe’s latest single, “In My Genes,” is a reverberation. A window to his soul that isn’t trying to garner attention, but does so with each verse. There’s something appealing about the relaxed feel of “In My Genes.” It doesn’t posture or preach. It does not feel theoretical or imagined, it feels like the sort of conversation you might have with Liljayydoe late at night, somewhere between yourself and the cosmos. He’s not playing for the crowd, he’s talking to it. The sentiment comes through loud and clear.

The song’s rootedness is what makes it remarkable. From the title alone, Liljayydoe coaxes us to think about legacy not in the ostentatious way, but in the hushed yet potent way identity is transmitted and unearthed. It’s not just rapping about what he possesses, he’s giving up who he is. The flow is paint-splattered, but it is the sentiment below the rhythm that really hooks you. It doesn’t need to shout. The production allows the story to breathe, enfolding Liljayydoe’s words in melodic simplicity that only emphasizes their gravity. Each bar sounds purposeful, like a stitch in the larger fabric of his experience.

What makes “In My Genes” beautiful is its openness. Liljayydoe isn’t afraid to get personal, he embraces it. And in drawing attention to them, he provides a place for listeners to recognize themselves, their own struggles, and their silent strength. The music is a memory on the move, an identity that rocks to a rhythm. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to him, this single indicates something more profound about Liljayydoe as an artist. He’s writing songs and making self-portraits. And if “In My Genes” is any indication of what’s to come, he’s just starting to unlock the power in his voice.

DonUpNext keeps climbing when belief disappears on latest release “Gave Up On Me”

DonUpNext

DonUpNext‘s latest release, “Gave Up On Me,” is a melodic, guitar-driven song with emotional storytelling. It’s about fighting to keep going when people around you stop believing. It’s about faith and perseverance and determination in the song. It gives the song a sense of personal struggle without losing hope. The guitar base allows the vocals to do the emotional heavy lifting of the story.

The lyrics encapsulate that mentality with simple images, “The top is full but I’m still gonna climb up the mountain.” It is a simple yet powerful image of someone not giving up just because the destination is crowded or hard to reach. That resolve is even more in peril with the track “I’m drowning in my thoughts I’m fighting to stay focused.” It’s this need for support that’s felt before the song slips into the painful realization “Need a helping hand but they gave up on me.”

“Gave Up On Me” toys with that contrast of isolation and persistence. DonUpNext doesn’t make the journey sound easy, rather the song dwells in the struggle of trying to keep focus while bearing doubt and disappointment. The track is emotionally grounded with melodic vocals, a guitar-driven beat and a faith-centered message turning a hard experience into a statement about continuing to climb.
