Thoughts is the latest single from Cardiff emcee SayKriDD Daly, it is also the first single from his upcoming album Lost, Love: Lessons. He has featured on this blog before, way back in 2020 when I reviewed DJ Sammy B (Jungle Brothers) album BushCamp The Mixtape. As this is the first time I have featured his solo work I asked him to give me a little background. So, here is a bit about the man himself, in his own words...

SayKriDD Daly hiphop artist from Cardiff known for his witty lyricism, catchy hooks and energetic performances have led him to support acts such as RA The Rugged Man, Skepta, Wiley, Crazy Town, Tinie Tempah, DJ Whoo Kid, Bashy, Chipmunk and many many more around the UK, aswell as working alongside hiphop legends from New York, The Jungle Brothers and featuring on Sammy B's album. 

SayKriDD has featured on hiphop websites such as HipHopDX, radio plays globally, charted on Amazon with his album 'Growing Up Daly' and many more achievements. 

With accomplishing some success as an underground independent artist with his many styles of hiphop from pop rap, to boom bap to party and dubstep style rap, it shows SayKriDD Daly is very versatile and an artist that will be around for a long time...

So, now you know a bit more about SayKriDD Daly, lets get into the single...

There is a chilled jazz vibe to the sound on this one which is provided by the horns and piano, the melodic sound of the drums adds just enough to give this a jazz hop vibe. There is also a reflective edge to this one too, and one that comes, not just from the music but, also from SayKriDD’s words. The more you listen to this one, the more you can really feel the words and their meaning (Check the video below too for the words and the music). Thoughts takes us on what is very much a reflective journey as SayKriDD opens up about his own struggles through life, making the same mistakes, over and over again, something that so many of us can associate with in our own lives; what this does is give you that sense that you are not alone in your own struggles and that it is ok to speak out, because we can only begin to heal when we accept that there is something that needs healing.

Being such a deeply personal track, the essence of this one stays with you long after the music is done and leaves you with much to think about. It also gives you a glimpse into what to expect from the album and if Thoughts is anything to go by them the album promises to be an emotive ride.

This track was my full introduction to the solo music of SayKriDD and I have to say that it really touched me; this is some grown man Hip Hop for those who are not afraid to look at their shadow self and confront what is there before moving on.

Huge thanks to SayKriDD for sending me this one, and I’m really looking forward to the album.

See Ya next time,

Steve
