Nigerian-Canadian rapper Dax has dropped his latest single, “i hate that i love you,” a raw and unfiltered exploration of heartbreak and emotional turmoil. Known for his ability to turn personal struggles into hard-hitting tracks that blur the line between rap and spoken word, Dax delivers another powerful anthem that resonates deeply with listeners.
The track follows Dax’s signature blueprint, diving headfirst into the chaos of heartbreak with a mid-tempo beat that keeps the tension simmering. The production is restrained yet impactful, featuring moody piano chords, cinematic strings, and a steady drumline that complements Dax’s emotive delivery. His verses feel like a real-time journey through regret, frustration, and reluctant acceptance, with every line landing like a gut check.
“I used to pray for someone like you… then I woke up and realized you were one of my demons,” Dax raps, capturing the raw vulnerability and complexity of love and loss.
The accompanying music video brings the lyrics to life, tracing every emotional peak and crash. Just when it feels like closure is within reach, the video leaves a question hanging in the air—hinting at a deeper dive or a potential part two. With Dax, there’s always more to the story.
