Shaydakayda’s expertise in hip-hop is truly remarkable. As a seasoned producer and songwriter, he has collaborated with renowned artists like Ras Kass, Fashawn, Big Pooh, and others, contributing to the creation of remarkable music. While much of his focus is on supporting other artists, Shaydakayda has also built an impressive solo catalog over the years. His latest addition, “The Mental,” showcases his solo artistry and further solidifies his place in the hip-hop scene.
In “The Mental,” Shaydakayda delves into the profound impact of mental barriers and acknowledges the challenges he’s faced and the lessons he’s learned throughout the years. Additionally, Shaydakayda asserts his worthiness of recognition and expresses gratitude for the support of his community. I personally love how honest and blunt he comes across, showing the world how powerful his mind is.
“The Mental” grabs your attention right from the start with its opening beat, a cleverly flipped version of Common’s “Corners” beat, produced by Kanye West. Shaydakayda seizes the moment, delivering his bars with precision and confidence. As the song progresses, the transition to a soulful yet hard-hitting beat adds another layer of depth to Shaydakayda’s performance. His focus remains unwavering, demonstrating his ability to adapt and excel regardless of the sonic landscape. It’s akin to a skilled athlete maintaining high performance even when faced with changing defensive strategies.
Give “The Mental” a shot below.
