Listening to Dax’s music, one has to be inspired. The Canadian rapper has been struggling with mental health his whole life, a sentiment that often surfaces in his musical output. Taking a critical look at modern society and the many issues that come with it, Dax seeks to inspire like-minded listeners to take care of themselves and avoid toxicity and destructive behaviours. His songs are bound to be particularly relatable to a male audience, something that’s greatly needed these days.
‘Lonely Dirt Road’ is the perfect example of that: exploring themes of mental health and self-discovery, the single uses the imagery of Dax taking ‘mental health walks’ and ‘mental health drives’, aiming to replicate a lyrical catharsis, exposing vulnerability and softness with a lovingly contemporary hip-hop instrumental. Production duties have been taken over by LexNour, the perfect match for such a meaningful offering.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, Dax explains: “This song is about the place I go to escape when facing the demons that plague my soul”. We are confident many people out there will resonate with that, especially in such hard, challenging times.
