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.
