Kansas-based rap and hip hop artist Dax has earned global attention with his powerful and poetic songwriting. From his start in Wichita, Dax has become an international sensation with a decorated career that’s seen him go from strength to strength over the years. Known for his unique blend of conscious lyricism and rhythmic intensity, his music delivers powerful experiences that are memorable and meaningful in equal measure.
Dax’s path to recognition comes from his love for poetry, which he translates into each track combining sharp, reflective verses and catchy hooks while exploring alternative hip hop, R&B and even tinges of country. With hundreds of millions of streams on his songs and videos, Dax shows no signs of slowing down on his thrilling musical adventure.
With his latest release, he shares his brand new single titled “Soldier,” this time linking up with legendary rap artist Tom MacDonald. Recorded in Missoula in Montana, “Soldier” captured Dax’s verses in a single take, showcasing Dax’s impressive vocal flair and lyrical dexterity but also emphasing the message of strength at the core of the track.
Arriving ahead of Dax’s upcoming album which is set to drop next month, the song speaks to the struggles and battles we face in life, portraying Dax as both a storyteller and a warrior in his own journey. Opened by emotive guitar flickers, Dax’s compelling voice enters to lay down emphatic leads while the rattle of percussive shots is met with pounding beats to craft a gripping soundscape.
Gliding with razor-sharp rapped flows that float alongside the flutter of guitar and punch of drums, his blistering delivery serves up profound lyrical writing. With Tom MacDonald adding his own vocal panache, his incredible rap talent shines on this epic collaboration from two of modern rap’s most exciting rising talents. Paired with the single is a cinematic music video that sees the two artists play out scenes from the battlefield to the impact felt at home to deliver an incredible visual journey to reflect the enthralling song.
