After a six-month break to clear his mind, Dax steps back into the spotlight with “Man I Used To Be” a track that strips away the noise and gets brutally honest. This isn’t just another release, it’s a reset button.

The opening lines hit so deep “Generational curses from daddy and mama / heartbreak and lies, dirty soul ties…” it’s obvious Dax isn’t just rhyming, he’s documenting. These verses feel more like diary pages torn out and put on wax, exposing the weight of family baggage, heartbreak, and inner battles.
The hook, “I’m half the man I used to be, it’s gon’ take some getting used to me,” lands like a mirror check after therapy: unsettling, raw, but strangely liberating. It’s not polished for radio, it’s lived-in and unfiltered.

What makes this song cut through is its refusal to hide behind flexes or façades. In an era where chaos is often glamorized, Dax offers something cleaner, clarity. “Man I Used To Be” feels less like performance and more like confession, an evolution that’s both vulnerable and intentional. Quietly powerful, unapologetically real, this track is proof that growth has a sound, and Dax has found it.
