This track was written sometime last year and completed this year.
I had a good time arranging the beats and writing the rap verses. I hope you enjoy listening to it.

It's about neglective fathers who later on show up in their children's life after noticing the success of their children, I go on to also address the societal pressures placed upon men and advice them to allow themselves to feel and to be present in the moment.

Lyrics
-
Nimekuwa mtandaoni basi mambo kule kazi,
mara huyu kabaka, mara myonge akafa
mwenyewe nafsi imechoka, walimwengu hawana wema
hata baba asiye wa kambo anaweza kukukana

Aseme "huyu sio mwanangu, wala simtambui
mbona maneno mengi hata mamake simjui"
Leo hii umefaulu anajitokeza hewani,
eti "wewe ni mwanangu, nimekufahamu tangu zamani
vyuma vilibana sijaishi kwa amani, 
wewe kidogo nife, aliyeninusuru Jalali"

Second verse and I wanna get in touch with the message that I'm passing,
most of y'all men are passive,
most of y'all never even cried and it shows,
you're building a barrier over your heart and your soul
and you know it's really hard but you've got to let go
man you've got to let it go, let it go,  let it go

And when you let it go trust me that you'll be yourself,
the most authentic version that can truly build your strength
a man who can feel and think, what else can you do?
a man who respects the beings and is blessed by whom
a man who's vulnerable, regal, and honorable, who's outta trouble
Your health is wealth, invest in yourself

Move!

Move! - mrnayed

his piece of music talks about a few things based off my experiences, and one of them is energy transmutation. I believe all the feelings we have inside are there for reason, we should let them linger for a little while, then make the beneficial decision to our being. Transmute the detrimental into beneficial. Even venom can be synthesised to medicine. Why not our feelings?

Feel, Think, Intend.

ni mimi

I went all-in on this one, played around with vocal progressions. Thank you for listening!

I'm blessing you with "Subira" which is a track that I initially created as I was waiting in line at the hospital for my mother to be served. The long day and all the energy that is found within the hospitals resulted in me creating this track. Have a listen and give me your feedback. Don't forget to share it across.

This is part of Mr.Nayed’s project titled 'Origins'.

Other tracks that are part of the project ‘Origins’ can be found on Mr.NayEd’s Soundcloud page.

Created with Love and Intention. Thank you for listening.

Subira

The track titled 'Location' is an expression based on a young romantic relationship which has it's fair share of insecurities that lead to less communication between the two love birds. It comprises of a merge of different genres and instruments therefore serving a full course meal ingrained with rhythm, poetry, rap and unexpected beat switches as the song approaches it's climax.

Origins

Location

The track 'Stories' is one of the first interactions with guitar that Mr.NayEd has ever had. The track comprises of chants and most of it is made up of vocalisation as a form of instumentation. It is purely expression with every verse speaking of a different subject, therefore living upto it's title 'Stories'.

Stories

The track 'If I Wanted To' is more of a free expression since it was recorded as a freestyle. It speaks of subtle love languages like words of affirmations, musing about a beautiful day as it starts when in love. The track has a neo-soul feel with a touch of R&B with singing and nostalgic lead guitar notes filling the space. It is as raw as it can be, both the production and the expression.

If I Wanted To

mrnayed is a self-taught sonic artist whose form of expression touches on various topics, such as vulnerability, social constructs, sensuality, radical love, mental health, and not limited romance. He uses sound as a vessel to convey his forms of expression. His creative process is a play exploring and experimenting with sonic elements as a form of creative, emotional, and spiritual expression.

​

His creative journey began as a minimalist solo artist, crafting two projects, "July Vibrations EP" and "Origin," using only a smartphone and the Music Maker Jam app. His creative process is an exploration of sonic elements, a symphony of experimentation that mirrors the complexities of the human spirit.

Rapping, singing, poetry/songwriting, and sound design serve as mrnayed's tools of expression, each element blending seamlessly to create a unique sonic signature. His music draws inspiration from a diverse spectrum of genres, including Jazz, Classical, Hip hop, Soukous, Rhumba, Taarab, and the soulful melodies of Soul & RnB.

​

Venturing into the professional music realm, he has released a single, "Move!," a rap anthem that celebrates conscious living, the power of choice, and the joy of embracing life's journey. His latest single “ni mimi ” which talks about energy transmutation, patience, hardwork and reminding us about the blessings bestowed upon us when we begin to feel unworthy or jealous of other people’s success. As an expressionist, he values authenticity, stripping away pretense and embracing the raw, unfiltered essence of his emotions. His style is a testament to his intuition and unwavering spirit of experimentation. His self-produced projects are born out of an insatiable curiosity and an unwavering passion for musical expression.
