Instantly inspired, Luwidakid penned the lyrics, pouring his creativity into the song and showcasing his sharp lyrical abilities.
“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.
