Toronto's DijahSB is a few weeks from removed from their last single, "Throw That Back" which is still on rotation over here. With a new project on the way titled, Head Above Water, the Toronto spitter delivered a brand new single alongside Harrison titled, "By Myself." On the record, Dijah complements the laid-back, jazzy production with an equally relaxed flow. It's a bar-heavy record, something they explain was a deliberate choice following the release of "Throw That Back."
'By Myself' gives you a little bit of insight on what my album 'Head Above The Waters' tries to tackle. I also wanted to slow it down and show people that I’m not always about sh*t that can make you dance; I got bars too. Harrison is like a brother to me and I haven’t even met him yet. He really blessed me with a hot ass beat," said Dijah in a statement.
Check the record out below.
Quotable Lyrics
Homie, I'm a hustler
Anything I stock, they be buying
I could sell a rock to Goliath
Never took a loss to a giant
If you stay sheep, you could get tossed to the lions
