100 Days: Kraftykid’s Ode to Endurance

Kraftykid’s 100 Days, produced by Szophia Nagasaka, is a soulful boom-bap cut laced with introspection, hunger, and grit. Anchored by a nostalgic vocal sample, it’s a reminder that success is slow-cooked, not microwaved.

Verse 1: From Walls to Stages

Kraftykid starts by tracing his journey—from scribbling on walls as a kid to getting paid for his art. He highlights the grind: starting with GarageBand, graduating to FL Studio, and sharpening his craft while others quit.

“I was rapping with like nine, wait, half of dem went dust.”
This line reflects on former schoolmates who started rapping before him but quit, while he stayed the course. It’s not about competition—it’s about longevity.

Hook: The Countdown Mentality

The hook repeats “100 days…” like a ticking clock. Whether it’s a creative season, a mental trial, or a life deadline, the track suggests transformation can only go one of two ways: growth or decay. He nods to past heroes, but warns of being stuck in the "sunken place"—spiritually lost despite being alive.

Verse 2: Pressure & Perspective

Kraftykid dives into the irony of British identity, unrequited love from his homeland, and the superficial admiration abroad. There's spiritual tension (“praying every night even if my faith wavering”), book smarts, and street pressure. The final bars are raw: soul-searching on a bike, alone, when the world sleeps.

Artwork

The cover shows a young Kraftykid—gold chain, oversized tee, and a fearless grin. It’s both adorable and defiant, echoing the raw spirit of the track. That kid had no idea where the journey would lead—but the energy hasn’t changed. The photo reminds us that greatness often starts in overlooked corners.

Moral

100 Days is about staying committed when others fall off. It’s about time, timing, and timelessness. Not everyone who starts the journey finishes it. But if you keep going, even when it feels like drowning, you just might resurface greater than ever.
