Faryad’s aggressive bars in “Underdog”

“Simple words, straight message, sharp voice, flows deep” raps Faryad at the beginning of his track “Underdog”, and the verse perfectly summarises his musical and personal goals: the song is about being an independent artist and all the hardships that come with it.

The rapper, in the typical style of the genre he plays, drags down all the artists who are making bigger numbers than him, despite his music being better. He might come off as cocky, but as he says he is a rapper, not a priest.

His struggles of not being heard not only come across through the lyrics, but they are also reflected in the music. The beat is aggressive-sounding and hard on the drums, while being emotional with the guitars and the electric pianos. His sound can be described as very “old-school”, as he tries to bring listeners back to an era when rappers were not as rich as they are nowadays.
