416DEDE Unveils Gripping New Single ‘Serving Pressure’
416DEDE, originally from Marrero/New Orleans, Louisiana, and currently residing in Dallas, Texas, has been inspired to create music that tells his life story for as long as he can remember. This musician, who aligns himself with acts like Jerellz and Supa Hendo, expresses himself through the sound of rap, hip-hop, and trap-infused tracks, presenting just his actual honest self. ‘Serving Pressure,’ the latest single, is a punchy beat oozing track that glides with tremendous energy and power throughout.
Recorded in the home studio of Jackson Henderson, proprietor of Damage Media Group, in Memphis, TN, ‘Serving pressure’ is drenched in the sound of bells, snare, kick, hi-hats, and strings, taking us on an explosive and dynamic powerhouse journey, revealing the brightest lights on 416DEDE as an artist, that you won’t be able to get enough of.
Speaking of the new track, the artist shares:
“I created the track because I wanted to give my fans something to listen to that will hype them up. I love tracks that have a bunch of energy and are fun to rap along with when playing it back. My lyrics are always true to me and I want my fans to know what my experiences have been like in life.I want my listeners to understand the things I’ve been through and the things I’ve seen in my past and still see in my day-to-day life. It is important for people to know I have always wanted to share my stories through my music so that they can hear and feel my journey with me.”
416DEDE is on the right track with this latest release, and we can’t wait to see where he goes from here. ‘Serving Pressure’ is out now on all platforms.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
