    DAX Opens Up About his Mental Health Struggles on “Lonely Dirt Road”

    Nigerian-Canadian rapper and singer DAX’s song “Lonely Dirt Road” is probably his most emotional and personal one yet.

    The 31-year-old 31-year-old born Daniel Nwosu Jr., credits his habit of taking daily walks to clear his head as the inspiration behind the song.

    “I wrote it about mental health walks that eventually transformed into mental health drives I take every morning to clear my head.

    The older I get the longer the drives seem to get.”

    “Lonely Dirt Road” is the seventh track on Dax’s  2024 From a Man’s Perspective

    Motsek and Lalla Martin Collaborate on Afro House EP “Echoes of Us”

    Guadeloupean Producer Motsek have collaborated on an Afro House EP “Echoes of Us” which also features Julien Mercies

    Rooted in Afrohouse, this four-track project weaves an emotional story where electronic textures meet ancestral echoes.

    “It begins with Siyakuphi, a haunting question in Lalla’s native tongue: Where are we going? A raw reflection on a youth lost to addiction and silence — the echo of a world adrift, searching for direction, meaning, and a way back home.”

    Then comes The Other Side, a luminous love song in English — a moment of warmth and intimacy where two souls mirror one another beyond time and borders. The trumpet of Julien Mercier runs parallel to the melody, like a distant signal, never overpowering, always present.

    The EP closes with Lost in Harare, a powerful instrumental led by a striking dialogue between Motsek’s production and Mercier’s trumpet. Here, the brass takes center stage, soaring and searching, carrying the emotional weight of memory, longing, and release.
