about

"This Hits Different" marks a turning point in my style and inspiration, moving from underground hip-hop into a new dancy, party-style, UK-influenced Pop Rap sound.

The 124 BPM tempo is a departure from my usual head-nod grooves that between 80-95 BPM.

I wrote this song to inspire people to be confident about being different. The lyrics are all about being one of a kind, being on your own vibe. Hits different is a gen Z slang meaning: significantly better than usual or is way better under certain circumstances.

You can expect more like this from me. I'm more concerned now with making people get up and dance.

lyrics

I’m not like anyone
Always on the run getting some
But I’ll tell you what I really want
Set myself apart from everyone
Cuz I’m on my own vibe I got my own drive
That’s why I’m so fly make em’ go oh my
Don’t even know why most people don’t try
I’m just out here having fun And that’s why I won
One minute one sec while I get up on the decks
And I keep it so correct uh
Two I do it all for you
Watching em’ stop and drop when we’re coming through
This hits different I am consistent
Don’t blink cuz you really might miss it
You talk it I live it
Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wait

This hits different
This one hits different
This hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different

I’m on that show don’t tell
You can see that it’s going so well
I don’t need to take no L
To speak my piece you can call it Nobel
Eyes on the prize
Only limit is the sky
And it’s no surprise
That I rise to the occasion cuz I listen to the wise
Do this do that step up move back
Keep up who’s that really gotta lose that
I’m living my best life that’s because I choose that
This hits different you already knew that
I’m not like anyone
I’m in my own lane
I came here to get it done
I’m here to let you know that it’s not the same

This hits different
This one hits different
This hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different
This one hits different
This hits different
This hits different
This hits different
This hits different
