jaytoanti - secret ways (prod.1eworld)

"Dark Magic" is an intense exploration of addiction to power and wealth that consumes those who pursue it. The track uses occult imagery to describe how the relentless pursuit of "more" - whether money, control, or dominance - becomes a destructive force that erases identity and humanity.

The song presents power as a literal addiction where "you'll forget who you was" and depicts those consumed by it as "empty villains" who feel nothing beyond winning and losing. The piece escalates to a dramatic execution scene, suggesting that those who play these power games ultimately become victims of the very systems they helped create.

The dark magic metaphor captures how the pursuit of absolute control corrupts completely, turning people into hollow shells driven only by insatiable greed, unable to sleep or find satisfaction no matter how much they acquire.

My music is a visceral anthem of rebellion against corruption, in a landscape where authenticity is often performed and truth is sanitized, I mine some of the darkest corners of modern existence to extract pure, unfiltered reality. My catalog reads like a manifesto for the sleepless, the struggling, and the systemically forgotten.

From "Harvest" to "Stay Awake," these tracks dissect the machinery of control with surgical precision. I’m recording autopsies of a dying system from the perspective of someone who's lived inside its grinding gears. Where others see hustle culture and rebellion, I reveal expensive escapism and manufactured compliance.

My process mirrors my message: no shortcuts, no sacrifice of truth to make it more palatable, just raw human experience translated into rhythm and rhyme. Writing often happens in those liminal spaces—three days without sleep, caring for a sick child, watching the world burn while trying to keep your own corner of it safe. These are survival reports from the front lines of late-stage capitalism, often based on my actual lived reality.

My inspiration draws from a unique vantage point: educated enough to see the patterns, struggling enough to feel the weight, parent enough to know what's at stake. Real power isn’t in winning the game, it’s in refusing to mistake the game for reality.

This is hip-hop as consciousness raising, beat-making as resistance, and storytelling as survival. In a world that profits from keeping people asleep, they've made staying awake their superpower. Inspired by artists like MF Doom, Notorious BIG, Cal Scruby, V1V1D, Lupe Fiasco, Common, B.O.B., 99 Neighbors, Glass Animals, Matt Maeson, Classic Rock and Alternative Rock.

Real strength is staying present while the whole world runs away.
