Super Saiyan Jay bakes up a vibe with “Medicated”

Honk Magazine

With “Medicated,” Super Saiyan Jay and King Dev, deliver a thoughtful track. The latest release of his newly released project, “High In The Bakery,” is a rare moment of unity, clarity, and craft from an artist stepping fully into his voice. Jay has described this as his most cohesive work to date, and on “Medicated,” he makes a convincing argument for that statement. The track draws you into its mellow world with deliberate ease. There’s confidence in the sound, and it allows the listener to settle into the vibe rather than chase it.

“Medicated” is keeping its cards close, and that’s what makes it hit. Jay is vibing and letting the beat do just as much talking as his lyrics. That flow has a lived-in quality, as though he’s been here before and now knows how to say it right. The production fully complements that energy, with every bit of the song feeling deliberate, as if you’re being drawn deeper into the world of “Medicated.” Its emotional undercurrent is what puts “Medicated” over the edge. It’s the headspace, the getting away, the psychic reset that sometimes accompanies it.

That’s the “in-between time” when things slow down enough for the truth to rise. If you’re listening for the wordplay or just along for the surf, there’s something about the way this song flows along the shore. “Medicated” expresses an artist who has spent enough time discovering his own sound and is now welcoming all of us to it unfiltered. The track stands as a moment of ease and elevation in the grander body of work and a reminder that less is more. Jay’s found his lane, and he’s flowing in it on purpose.

Lisa Jo turns feeling unseen into self-acceptance with latest release “Oddball Gem”

Lisa Jo

Lisa Jo captures that feeling of being outside the crowd in “Oddball Gem.” The song is about feeling invisible, misunderstood and determined to be yourself. The emotional core is visceral. So many thoughts, not enough words, the draining effort of trying when the fight still feels unfinished. The writing gives you that feeling, makes isolation a familiar, personal thing.

The song then moves to images of becoming ‘a shadow’ and ‘a ghost’ before arriving at a stronger sense of identity. The emotional feeling of not fitting in is at the heart of this song, with the lyric “I was built this way” changing the tone from pain to self-acceptance.

“Oddball Gem,” is a declaration from someone learning to stand comfortably in their difference. The line “I don’t fit in I’m an odd ball gem” is a direct and memorable encapsulation of what the song is all about. Lisa Jo turns that feeling of being left out into a portrait of individuality. She provides the track with an emotional message of staying true to yourself when belonging seems hard today.

Lisa Jo draws a line under the past with latest release “Done Druggin’ Away the Pain”

Lisa Jo

Lisa Jo’s “Done Druggin’ Away the Pain” is about the weariness of fighting a battle that seems to have been fought before. The song is about someone that has fought hard but is not able to break the chain and there is almost nothing left in the tank to keep fighting. That moment of exhaustion, knowing something has to change, that is what’s so emotional.

The song tells the story of that struggle, “Fought so hard but couldn’t break the chain. Then, the song reaches an even more open place, with someone “tired, warn down, dropped to the floor,” asking how long this way of living can go on. The experience does not hide the frustration or the tiredness.

Then the song’s signature decision, “I’m done drinkin’, I’m done druggin’ away the pain. That line is what makes “Done Druggin’ Away the Pain” feel like a turning point. Lisa Jo’s song is about coming to the place where the status quo is no longer an option. This is a blunt statement about pain, about fatigue, and about the choice not to use self-destructive ways to escape it anymore.
