DADDY Is Out Now — Let Me Tell You How We Got Here

What’s good family — today’s a special one.

I finally dropped my new single DADDY, and if you’ve been watching me build quietly these last few months, you know this song been sitting in the vault acting like it paid rent. I wanted the rollout to feel intentional, and this felt like the right moment to open the door and let it walk outside.

This track was born in one of those sessions where everything just clicked.
Me and my brother Jerome Farah got in the studio and started stacking ideas like Legos. No pressure, no expectations — just vibes, jokes, and that spark that only happens when you cook with somebody who really get your brain.

Then Paul Middleton pulled up with his camera and turned the whole vision into a short film. I swear Paul got the patience of a saint. Because this shoot? Man… it turned into a full-blown arts-and-crafts class with all the ladies on set. Glitter everywhere. Glue sticks being abused. Construction paper folding like origami under pressure. It felt like a field trip for grown adults who never learned how to act right.

But that’s the beauty of it for me — music should be fun.
It should feel like life happening in real time.
It should make you laugh at the same moment you catch a bar.

DADDY is exactly that.

Why This Song Matters to Me

I’m in a space right now where I’m rebuilding and redefining how I want to show up creatively. New sounds, new ideas, new platforms, new stories I’m trying to tell. Dropping new music for the first time in a minute feels like waking up from a long nap and stretching your whole soul out.

This song is me shaking the dust off and stepping back in the spotlight with a smirk like,
“Y’all miss a nigga or NOT?”

It’s fun, it’s loud, it’s confident… but there’s heart in it too and Im still RAPPING !!!

Bruh… making this outfit felt like I really signed up for my own little fashion side quest. I told myself, “Lemme make something cozy, fly, and slightly unhinged in the best way,” and boom — I ended up doing arts-and-crafts on a cardigan like a Filipino auntie before Simbang Gabi.

The Handsome Cardigan became my canvas. I was hand-stitching flowers like I was auditioning for Project Runway: Oakland Edition. Felt pieces, lil embroidered details, buttons popping off like they had somewhere better to be. Every flower lowkey got its own personality too — one look happy, one look shady, one look like it smoke hookah recreationally.

Then the green slacks… I went full botanist. Stitched a whole stem and petals down the leg like I was planting something. I wanted it to feel playful but still tailored, like a cartoon character that knows how to dress for a red carpet.

Putting this whole thing together reminded me that half my creativity just comes from making stuff with my hands, for real. No rules, no stress — just vibing, stitching, gluing, painting, fixing, stepping back like “Wait… this kinda fire.”

And of course I had to throw the Handsome logo on the back like a badge of honor — green for the original, pink for the remix. It’s giving “private school uniform but for creative delinquents.”

Putting this outfit together was already a whole adventure — but shooting the video in it? That’s where the real hustle kicked in.

This fit started off as a straight-up DIY fever dream. I’m talking felt flowers hand-stitched onto a cardigan like I was cramming for a home-ec final. Every piece was custom — the little patches, the embroidery, the flower stem running down the pants like a science project gone stylish. It was arts and crafts energy at a dangerous level. But it came out beautiful in that Handsome way… a lil chaotic, a lil charming, all heart.

Then we ran into the real test:
We had no location. Zero. Nada.

No pristine set, no fancy studio, no big budget backdrop.
Just me, my team, and a house that was absolutely not prepared for a full music video production.

But that’s where we got resourceful, for real.
We flipped the whole spot into a set like it was nothing. Turned living rooms into stages, corners into scenes, random walls into intentional choices. You ever rearrange your whole house and suddenly feel like a creative genius? That was us.

And honestly… that made it better.
The whole thing felt intimate. Human. Real.
Like the art wasn’t happening somewhere else — it was happening right where I live, right where the ideas come from in the first place.

Being able to take a custom outfit I literally built with my hands, and shoot a whole video in the crib because we believed in the vision… that made the project feel alive. It reminded me that creativity don’t need permission. It just needs commitment, some felt flowers, and a couple homies who don’t mind moving furniture.
