The Sting That Inks — Afrofuturist Suite
Summary: This multi-movement lyric explores the idea of pain as a sacred transmitter—where each “sting” becomes a form of ink that writes ancestral truth, memory, and identity across time. The speaker doesn’t arrive in the world passively—they dock in ache, carrying encoded rhythms and scars that speak louder than curated healing. Through poetic movements, the piece reclaims writing as ritual, scars as archives, and sound as lineage. It’s a transmission from a cosmic, diasporic consciousness that refuses erasure.

The Sting That Inks #Afrofuturist

For the uninitiated, Day Fly is the brainchild of Dutch producer K The Fresh and English singer/songwriter Beau Nox. Information about the pair is rather light at the moment, but who needs all of that anyways? 

We've got "Magnet" — the first offering from their upcoming EP — as ample evidence of their sonic whereabouts. This is soul lovingly linking arms with alternative hip-hop with a smidgen of sing-a-long pop shaken in; smooth over seriousness is the key. It's a trend that seeps through their debut project too, which although can't be shared is worth your ears. It seems like the whole thing was made with a larger-than-life grin extended across both of K and Beau's faces. Fans of The Internet and Phony Ppl, rejoice.

"Magnet' is out on October 9 via Tangram Records with the EP following up a few weeks later.

Love [In Synthesis] EP

03 Soulmate [Heartstrings]

The over arching concept behind this song is about finding your own lane and trusting in it. It's about finding yourself and not conforming to the pressures around us. For me, my sound and musical identity has always been in between the soul music that I grew up on and the jazz that I have studied and grown to love. So I wrote this song to say, that it's okay to be a little different. We should embrace our uniqueness and follow through with it.

A track I did for the homie Jose James. I just sent him an extend loop and he layed vocals with Jordana de Lovely and turned it into something special. It also got picked up for the soundtrack for "Our Family Wedding". This was a cool collab and is just the first of many w Jose. He has joint on my Early Riser LP and I'm writing a new tune for his next record.
