The first single released was Jewish: youtu.be/sWXjbIxMvEg?si=Rj8kZr7wUYDj89Ra
The third one will release on September 10th and the name is "What You See"
Reality is an interesting story, because the first two verses were written a really long time ago and I never intended on releasing it.
Recently, I stumbled upon the recorded free style instagram.com/reel/CmHalHZvHjG/?igsh=M2piYm80d2JiNjNk
and realized I want to record it professionally. Now here's the fun part, I was in the studio ready to record my two short verses, and then while practicing, I started mumbling something that sounded like a hook.. what what turn turn the beat up.. and suddenly I was like "holly shit, I have a hook!!!". So then from a freestyle, it became a song, but a short one. I had two verses in Hebrew and a hook, something was missing. I decided to see what I can do, and thought about adding a verse in English to make it a little bit more suitable for my English speaking audience. But I didn't know what to write, my mind was blank. I then went to my folder of "unfinished matereal" and started to go over what I have there. There was a file named "nice rap", I was like "WTF is this?". I had no idea what it was and when I wrote it. I opened the file and started reading the one verse that was on there. "What is it for me here if you gonna sit and judge"... I couldn't believe it! It was exactly what I was missing. The cadence, the flow, the theme, the style... it was almost like it was written exactly for that missing part I had. I was so excited I can't even describe it. Well, here you go, the crazy story of "Reality" and how everything just worked out ! Now you get to hear the final version :)

“You’re standing alone, holding a knife…”
This spoken word piece dives deep into the fragile nature of trust and how it’s built, how it shatters, and the painful truth we all face when betrayal hits close to home. If you’ve ever trusted the wrong person or questioned loyalty, this poem will resonate.

• How to build habits without relying on motivation
• Why guilt-based goals don’t work (and what to do instead)
• How “habit stacking” tricks your brain into staying consistent
• What to do on the days when you just can’t
• My own messy, human examples (like practicing music with my dog on my lap)
Chapters:
00:00 Introduction to Habits and Motivation
01:45 Understanding Habit Formation
04:18 Practical Tools for Habit Building

I filmed this video to keep it raw and honest - no big production, just the words and the weight they carry. This piece means a lot to me, especially nowadays when people hate each other more than ever before. This verse is about being proud of my identity, no matter what.
