JOSIAHDAVIS. - IN TRANSIT. (Album)

At just 16, JOSIAHDAVIS. is proving that age is no barrier to artistry, depth, and raw emotion. His latest album, IN TRANSIT., is more than just a collection of songs—it’s a deeply introspective journey that captures the turbulence of youth, personal transformation, and the struggle to find stability in an ever-changing world. With 12 tracks that seamlessly blend melodic hip-hop, alternative rap, and poetic storytelling, JOSIAHDAVIS. offers listeners a front-row seat to his evolution, both as an artist and as a person.

From the first few moments of IN TRANSIT., it's clear that this is a project built on honesty. The album's focus track, “DO WHAT I CAN.”, sets the tone for the emotional depth that follows. With lines like “I got problems still with opening up… I just do what I can”, he paints a picture of resilience in the face of personal demons. The track’s melancholic yet smooth production allows his words to take centre stage, balancing vulnerability with a determined sense of hope. Elsewhere, the album shifts between introspective storytelling and moments of high-energy triumph, mirroring the emotional highs and lows of coming-of-age experiences.

What makes IN TRANSIT. truly stand out is its authenticity. The album was recorded entirely in JOSIAHDAVIS.’s basement, a DIY approach that only adds to its rawness. Executive producer BeatsbyCotto helps refine the sound without stripping away the emotion, allowing every beat and lyric to feel intentional. There are echoes of influence from artists like Futuristic and SonReal—who have already shown their support—but JOSIAHDAVIS. carves out his own lane, blending the classic storytelling of Pacific Northwest rap with a fresh, youthful perspective. By the time the album reaches its closing moments, it’s evident that IN TRANSIT. isn’t just about change—it’s about learning to embrace it. With this project, JOSIAHDAVIS. solidifies himself as an artist to watch, one whose journey is only just beginning.
