With his latest freestyle, Watch The Party Die, the artist Sjayxe is proving that music is more than just sound—it’s a reflection of lived experiences, pain, and personal evolution. Released on February 7, 2025, this track carries a deep emotional weight, touching on themes of loss, betrayal, and self-realization.
The song serves as a tribute to Javion Magee and Marcellus Williams, two innocent Black men whose lives were taken unjustly. Their deaths had a profound impact on Sjayxe, and this track became an outlet for his emotions, frustrations, and grief. But Watch The Party Die isn’t just about mourning—it also highlights a turning point in his own life, where he starts recognizing who is truly in his corner and who isn’t.
Sjayxe opens up about the illusion of support—how some of the people closest to you can be the least genuine, while complete strangers sometimes show the most unwavering loyalty. “I had to speak on it,” he explains. “There’s so much fake love when it comes to dropping music—or anything you’re passionate about. I had to put it out there, even if it was hard to say.”
Produced by NiloKeys, the song took time to perfect. Initially, Sjayxe wrote two different songs to the beat, but the second version felt right—it was raw, real, and an unfiltered reflection of his emotions. Recording this song wasn’t just about creating music; it was about expressing something that had been building up inside him for a long time.
Musically, Sjayxe’s style is hard to pin down, but fans of Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Earl Sweatshirt, and Vince Staples will find a similar depth and honesty in his storytelling. With dream collaborations including Kendrick, J. Cole, MAVI, and Tyler, the Creator, his vision is clear—he wants to create music that resonates far beyond the surface.
Watch The Party Die is released on YouTube for those ready to experience the full weight of its message. Follow Sjayxe on Instagram for more music and updates. With this release, Sjayxe is making it clear—he’s not afraid to speak his truth, and he’s only getting started.
