SkyDxddy dropped a new track called “Choker”, and it’s essentially what happens when you take all the emotional volatility of a late-night Tumblr post, filter it through a digital haze of trap percussion and moody synths, and then somehow make it really work.
Now, to be clear, this isn’t your average “sad rap over lo-fi beat” situation. “Choker” is doing something more precise, and honestly, kind of sinister. It lures you in with this lush, almost ethereal soundscape, and the next thing you know, you’re in the middle of an emotional autopsy. SkyDxddy’s lyrics don’t just gesture vaguely at vulnerability; they weaponize it like what you do with cutting words. It’s confessional in a way that feels less like a diary entry and more like a carefully sharpened monologue from someone who knows exactly what strings they’re pulling.
What makes this track interesting is that it’s mainly deliberately uncomfortable. It plays with themes of power, control, and emotional exposure without ever slipping into melodrama. And that’s impressive. Because nine times out of ten, a song like this ends up sounding like it was written by someone who just discovered metaphors. But “Choker” feels deliberate. It knows what it’s doing.
If you’re looking for another brooding, genre-fluid, emotionally raw track that might accidentally expose one of your unresolved issues, “Choker” by SkyDxddy’s got you covered.
