“Once Curley sent me the beat, the flow just started playing in my head. I wanted to show my rap ability, so I made sure my verses were lyrically tight. When I recorded it at Nightfall Studio, everyone who heard it was blown away — the song just feels so good,” Luwidakid shares.
The result is a track that feels both celebratory and empowering, serving as a testament to Luwidakid’s innovative spirit. From the infectious hooks to the driving rhythms, “True Colors” invites listeners to let loose and embrace their authentic selves.
