Cortez Lake shines through the storm with soulful track “Lucky 2b Alive”

Cortez Lake’s latest single, “Lucky 2b Alive,” is an exposed damage cinched in pure strength and a bold declaration that surviving the worst days deserves to be honored. There’s weight to Cortez Lake’s delivery, a well-earned wisdom that leaks out of every bar. You listen to this song, but you also feel it. Deeply thoughtful lyricism doesn’t shrink from pain but instead walks right into the fire and somehow finds light on the other side. In the production, the players introduce an entirely new layer.

The beat is human, a pounding that swells and recedes like an emotional tide. It has a sound that provides enough space for the lyrics to breathe, and enough emotional weight to stand on its own. It’s the kind of record that ends up at the center of motivational playlists. “Lucky 2b Alive” is a testament to the sort of survival most people remain silent about. It’s for the days when getting out of bed seems like a victory, when that single breath in feels like a fist shaking at the world.

For fans of conscious rap and the contemporary emo vibes of rap-adjacent hip-hop/R&B, the voice of Cortez Lake is both something you’ve never heard before and something you’ve known forever. It’s like hearing your friend tell you their truth in a quiet moment of clarity. “Lucky 2b Alive” is a song to embrace the soul. Cortez Lake creates a space not just for himself as an artist, but also as a survivor and a person with something tangible to say. And in a world where noise all too often eradicates nuance, “Lucky 2b Alive” serves as a testament to the idea that truth, when combined with heart, will always get through.
