Last updated: 3rd September 2025

With a highly anticipated album on the way, Venna is taking small steps to victory in a big way. His latest release Day x2, sees him team up with rapper Mike and Marco Bernandis.

Day x2 is Smooth and Introspective

Day x2 is a fluid composition filled with an expertly crafted dose of hip-hop, jazz, and soul. Most importantly, it summons a periodical moment to question our own motives on life, and allowing it to simply be.

Horned instrumentation ferries in an enveloping, trans-era ambiance, and this canvas sustains an epoch of gentle sentiment. It feels and sounds introspective, almost caught between thoughts and decisions.

His motif for the music pierces beyond paragraphical answers, allowing one to probe the weight given to perceived complexity. This further accents the track, lending it some verisimilitude.

MIKE: The Hip-Hop Connection

Accentuating the atmospheric quality is the inclusion of rapper Mike, who brilliantly matches the cadence of the artist.

The lyricist’s presence helps direct and expand the inclusivity of his audience, and Marco Bernandis — who tempers the pace — further grounds a sonic experience within an enveloping three minutes.

His flow mirrors the single’s tempo over a ponderous demure of rim shots and marvellous saxophone soundscapes. It’s an event that makes you want to stay at the party.

MALIK will be Essential Listening

The song is taken from his upcoming album MALIK. Already highly anticipated, the reveal of his latest drop further amplifies our need to hear more.

Day x2 anchors a September release on a canvas of seminal music. It’s poetry through the noise from a musician who understands himself and his artistry. This fresh unveil is for a niche audience, and if you find them, you’ll want to stay connected.
