"You was cheating the whole time, now you gotta look"
"You ain't getting bucks that you fucking up"
"We're going up with the game, we be going up"
🌸 Miko Melts's journal
I'm feeling the moody vibes of this track. The visual atmosphere is gritty and raw, with a dark aesthetic that matches the song's lyrics. I can almost see myself dressed in black leather and chains, standing on a rooftop at night, looking down on the city below.
The outfit/setting that comes to mind when listening to this song is a dimly lit bar or club, filled with smoke and neon lights. The crowd around me is a mix of shady characters and wannabe gangsters, all dressed in leather jackets and tight jeans. The bartender behind the counter is pouring drinks for the patrons, while the DJ spins dark, moody tracks that add to the overall atmosphere.
As the song reaches its climax, I can almost hear the clinking of glasses and the low murmur of voices in the background. It's a wild and dangerous world out there, but it's one that I'm drawn to.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
As an engineer, I am constantly striving to achieve the perfect balance between delivery, flow, and cadence when it comes to mixing and mastering tracks. With DAJAI's "Real One Freestyle," I feel that we have achieved just that.
In terms of delivery, DAJAI's voice sits comfortably in the mix without overpowering the production elements. His flow is seamless, and his cadence is spot on. This is especially important when it comes to a freestyle track, as the lyrics can be complex and may require extra attention from the listener.
From a production standpoint, there are several elements in the vocal that really shine through. DAJAI's doubles and ad-libs are well placed throughout the track, adding an extra layer of depth and complexity to the mix. The stacks are also done tastefully, never overwhelming the listener.
One of the reasons why DAJAI's approach works so well is due to the gear that was used during recording. The microphone that he used had a great presence in the midrange, which really helped to bring out the emotion and intensity in his vocals. Additionally, the compression on the track was subtle but effective, helping to even out the levels and create a more cohesive sound.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with how this track turned out. DAJAI's delivery, flow, and cadence are all on point, and the production elements are perfectly balanced in the mix.
🎥 Mykina's BTS journal
I arrived at the HBU studios early that morning to find the entire cast gathered around the recording booth, their faces filled with anticipation as they prepared to record DAJAI's Real One Freestyle. The energy in the room was electric, and you could almost hear the lyrics of the track before they even began.
As I settled into my observation post just off-camera, I couldn't help but notice how focused and serious everyone was, their expressions intense as they listened to the final mix of the song. It was clear that this was no ordinary recording session - it was a moment of creative expression, a snapshot of the cast's talent and dedication.
One specific moment that stood out to me was when DAJAI took the mic and began rapping with an unmatched passion and skill. The words flowed effortlessly from his mouth as he spit out lines like "Fuck a lame, we be going up" and "Take a fuck with you throwing up," each syllable delivered with precision and power. It was a mesmerizing display of talent and creativity, a testament to the hard work and dedication that had gone into crafting this song.
As I watched from just off-camera, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the raw emotion and skill on display. It was a moment that captured the very essence of what it means to be an artist - to pour your heart and soul into your work, to push the boundaries of what is possible, and to leave a lasting impact on those who hear your music.

We're going up with the game, we be going up
Fuck a lame, we be going up
Take a fuck with you throwing up
Snick a replica, I'm a 101
Baby fuck with a third or something
Snick a talking like the only one to have a gun
You ain't getting bucks that you fucking up
I just read up just to fuck it up
Thirsty bitch about the bag, she's trying to fuck
And I was looking for a nut
Homie's robbing cars scamming, he just got a truck
If I ever hit a lick, I kept it on the tuck
Fizz hit the apartment left for no bus
And you know the neighbors never give it up
The homie fucked your baby, momma, you're a Donald Duck
You was cheating the whole time, now you gotta look
I hit a stain and get out of touch
I'ma think it's a baggy girl, I need one
Don't come around bitch unless you try to feed some
Baby turn around, I'm trying to see some
We could fuck to your mouth, fucking knees
But scared of money, don't make none
But weak money, shit, they ain't no money
That's the least money
I hit a stain and get out of touch
