Better Days

Better Days (Airwolf Remix) [feat. Sampa The Great]

New DJANDJAY out now 😤 https://bakerboy.lnk.to/DJANDJAY

With the release of Baker Boy’s new album 'DJANDJAY' (pron. Jan-jay) out now, the multi-award winning Yolŋu superstar, also unveils brand-new single ’RUNNING LOW’ featuring US Rapper Pardyalone. A track that floats on an infectious, melodic hook but carries a deeper weight underneath of burnout, grief, and distance from home. “I was talking about being on the road, the pressure to create - but also the sacrifice of living away from community, of missing funerals and carrying that weight,” Baker Boy says. “It was a favourite from the demo, originally, I sang the hook, but bringing in Pardyalone gave it this crazy energy. His voice just hits.”

Sonically, Baker Boy boldly leans into punk for the first time, while still rapping in his first language Yolŋu Matha. Lyrically, Baker Boy channels his anger and frustration into vivid declarations of pride through powerful bars that mirror the colours and symbolism of the Aboriginal flag; “My pigment is my pride...red dirt, gold chains, blak knight, thick skin”.
 
Following the acclaim of his 5 x ARIA Award-winning debut album ‘Gela’, including Album Of The Year, ‘DJANDJAY’ is Baker Boy’s most emotionally layered and creatively evolved work yet. Named in honour of his late grandmother, ‘DJANDJAY’ also pays homage to the Yolŋu spiritual figure of the same name: a guiding octopus spirit that leads souls forward.

The 14-track ‘DJANDJAY’ album will include previously released singles ’THICK SKIN’, ‘PEACEKEEPER’, ‘FREAK OUT feat. Briggs and Haiku Hands’, ‘LIGHTNING’ feat. REDD. and will also include features from friends and collaborators Pardyalone (US), and Jean Deaux (US).

Je vraagt me waarom, maar ik ben niet dom
Laat me maar vliegen in m'n luchtballon

I never did end up making music did I.
That’s unfortunate, if you have any interesting music you like send it my way I might like it too.

Other than that stay safe and try your best.
