Dying to Live

Kodak Black

A heavy, soul-searching document of Florida trap. Melancholic piano loops and nasal, melodic vocals explore mortality and the weight of sudden success.

It's like a therapy session held in the back of a tinted SUV at 4 AM.

A heavy, soul-searching document of success haunted by the shadow of the streets.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The somber piano and Malcolm X vocal sample that grounds the album's emotional core on track 9
The infectious, sunny steel drum melody of ZEZE providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding gloom
The raw, unpolished vocal delivery on the closing track that feels like a final confession
