Canadian rapper Dax is back with a bold new single, “Man I Used To Be” This record is all about his journey of self-discovery, honesty, and personal growth. After deciding to stop drinking and focus on himself, Dax made a promise to his fans that he wouldn’t release new music until he could stay sober for six months. For him, this time was more than just a break, it was a chance to reset creatively.
“Man I Used To Be” captures the emotional struggle of looking back at one’s past while moving forward. It kicks off with a moody, trap-influenced beat that sets a reflective tone. Dax’s voice carries weight as he shares his experiences, revealing layers of his identity. This song serves as a mirror, allowing both the artist and his listeners to confront their pasts and find relief.
In his lyrics, Dax acknowledges his regrets and insecurities but avoids falling into a trap of pity. Instead, he demonstrates his evolution. He shared his excitement about this project, stating, I wanted to create something that reflects my true self. Every line is genuine, no pretenses, just honesty. After six months of sobriety, he’s ready to share his truth with the world.
