On October 11, 2024, hip-hop artist Coda released his new single, “Ray.” This music embodies a distinct blend of excitement and simplicity, resulting in an instant connection to the beat. Coda stressed in a recent interview that he wanted to keep the spirit real and authentic without excessive editing. He wants to express his enthusiasm for rap through entertaining lyrics that appear to flow spontaneously.
Coda, who grew up in a Punjabi household in Montreal, Quebec, was inspired by music from an early age. Coda was introduced to music at a young age, with Indian music playing in the background and his uncle reciting legendary songs like “Rapper’s Delight” by The Sugarhill Gang. These encounters inspired him to develop a deep love for hip hop, which he nourished further through gaming sessions with his brother, where he shared the bright soundtracks of renowned games such as Grand Theft Auto.
Coda began his hip-hop career as a freestyle artist in his teens and has perfected his craft over the last few years. His previous work, such as the song “Livin,” represented a big step forward in his artistic development, allowing him to write and perform music that was extremely personal to him. Artists like J. Cole and Isaiah Rashad influence him, giving his work a similar vibe while linking the old and contemporary hip-hop periods through rhythmical storytelling. Coda is pleased about the future and eager to share more of his music with listeners!
