Dalcon’s “Keep Going”: A Hip-Hop Anthem Fueled by Nature and Resilience
2 min readThe song “Keep Going” by DAlcon is not just a song; it is an expression of his struggle with Crohn’s disease, his passion, and his perseverance infused with nature. Unlike other hip-hop songs, this song is different because it is infused with nature’s sounds alongside the usual hip-hop beats. The artist’s time in the forests and mountains is what gave him inspiration for the song, which, unlike most of his works, is more deep and personal.
This song’s production is very creative, as it features birds and environmental aspects in the beat. These were made possible because DAlcon collaborated with the producer Carlos Garcia. Their teamwork was not only about music but also how to incorporate nature in its rawest forms into hip-hop. Carlos joked that he spent so many hours working on the song that he could identify the exact type of bird used in the chorus. “Keep Going” has a message that highlights resiliency. The verses ‘I am grateful to be healthy. I would rather be poor than be ill and wealthy’ encapsulates his bluntness. This serves as a reminder that there is a way out of every hard problem, even if it means fighting against nature. The mix of nature sounds, mesmerizing beats and DAlcon’s lyrics make the listeners feel relaxed and energized at the same time.
The recording was done at Seven Studios, Valencia, Spain which is special to DAlcon because it was the venue where he set the Guinness World Record for the longest rap marathon (39 hours and 45 minutes) in 2022. From rapping for almost 40 hours straight, we can conclude that DAlcon is incredibly passionate, and this intensity consistently appears throughout the track. Listen to “Keep Going”, which can be streamed on all major platforms, if you are searching for hip-hop that is unique in style and carries a positive message. It is essential to check it out as soon as you can.
