Dax finds clarity and redemption in his newest single “Man I Used To Be”
In a bold and deeply personal turn, Dax returns with his newest single, “Man I Used To Be,” a track born from inspiration and a hard-earned clarity that only comes with true self-discipline. After vowing not to release new music in 2025 until hitting six months sober from alcohol, Dax honors that commitment in the most powerful way possible: with a record that feels like a soul laid bare. “Man I Used To Be” is a reckoning, a reflection, and a declaration of transformation.
The production allows Dax’s voice to take center stage. There’s just a man processing who he was and who he’s becoming. Every bar hits with conviction, not in arrogance, but in honesty. This is about progress. The strength of this single lies in its vulnerability. Dax opens the door to his internal battles, the crutches he leaned on, the ways he coped, and ultimately, the strength it took to face those habits head-on and walk away. There’s a heavy beauty in his words; pain revisited not for pity, but for healing. “Man I Used To Be” is an invitation.
Whether you’re wrestling with your own past or trying to navigate toward a better future, Dax’s latest track offers a raw kind of companionship that says, “You’re not alone, and change is possible.” For longtime fans, this might be Dax at his most honest yet. For new listeners, it’s an unforgettable introduction to an artist unafraid to evolve in real time. This is a turning point. With “Man I Used To Be,” Dax is redefined. And if this is what six months of clarity sounds like, we can’t wait to hear what’s next.

El Vrother turns negativity into strength on new single “My Biggest Fan”
“My Biggest Fan” is a powerful, insightful, and surprisingly uplifting song. It’s a Latin-infused hip-hop anthem that puts a new spin on turning negativity into strength. El Vrother’s latest track is about redemption, growth, and being real.
This was inspired by a real-life event in which a listener admitted to posting hateful comments about El Vrother’s work for years before becoming a steadfast supporter. The ironic and human change gave the song its creative spark, and El Vrother didn’t get back at anyone or ignore the problem. Instead, he turned it into art, which shows that even anger can change when faced with honesty and sincerity.
The song has a unique sound that is both authentic and powerful, blending sharp Latin rhythms with a hip-hop foundation. His story shows how music that comes from real struggles, real life, and real feelings can have a significant effect. It is an artistic position that runs counter to the negative trends common in modern music charts. “My Biggest Fan” is a statement that authentic storytelling will always be important.
El Vrother uses the song to show that music can change people’s minds, break down walls, and start real change. He thinks of the song as proof that music can change how people feel. This is a response to the widespread culture of hate online. El Vrother improves the conversation in “My Biggest Fan” and gives us a piece with purpose, a beat, and an effect.
