Prophecy in the Studio October 11, 2025 • Deny D Creating music in my home studio. I didn’t begin with a burning desire to make music, nor did my heart cling to it unshaken. Yet somehow, rebellion rose within me — a refusal to follow what others called art. I threw it all behind my back, for those rappers who were once warned to return to their roots. They’ve committed acts I can’t stand. For ten years, I’ve grown weary of this decade — of their unsettled audiences and the crooked paths they walk. In my home studio. Live by Deny D. Watch now on YouTube. A Lament for Lost Sound Open your eyes, musicians. Don’t let distance from your craft breed an evil heart that lacks faith.

The Voice Against Vanity October 4, 2025 • Deny D Spending a night at home in Athens, writing a blog post. Woe to those who descend into the industry to seek help. Woe to those who descend without asking into this globalism, to find protection and shelter under its shadow. Will this mysterious uprising to have more audiences succeed?

And who trusts in machinery, how can you turn away even a sponsorship from among the least of his promoter,...

Nets hang like threads between sky and sea, catching not only fish but also fragments of our lives. We think we are casting the net, yet sometimes it feels as though the system casts it over us—its mesh heavy with burdens, its knots woven from culture, history, and expectation. By the shore of Shkumbini, with the sun on my back and salt on my skin, I felt both hunter and caught. The net for my feet is not only in the water; it’s also in the patterns of life. This day of fishing became a mirror, a lesson, and a story I will now throw online, like a catch into the digital sea, for others to find. My father and I set out for a day of fishing, eager to create wonderful memories together. ...
