On his newest offering, “Enemies,” hYYdn flutters into an emotionally charged reflection on what it’s like growing up under the burden of other peoples’ expectations. Over introspective lyricism and ethereal production, hYYdn builds a soundscape that reflects heartbreak and freedom.
At its heart “Enemies” is an examination of the two sides to teenage life, where judgment and conformity combine with self-doubt to build identity. hYYdn raps from a standpoint of personal experience, remembering a time when he was being encouraged to fit into molds that didn’t really speak to his true self. The key turns out to be a quintessentially human moment: a heart-to-heart with his father.
The single, “Enemies” plays out like a film sequence of internal processing. Its complex textures and gentle dynamics, meanwhile, flow in accordance with the narrative, though expressing both vulnerability and strength. hYYdn’s vocals project not only honesty, but the burden of a life that seems to have experienced everything he is singing about, making listeners hear and feel what he has to say. This song is an anthem for authenticity and emotional growth.
