Da Foundation Impresses With Latest Offering “Skeptical”

Rooted in rhythmic sophistication, Da Foundation is establishing a signature style that transcends the bounds of genre. With influence from R&B and Golden Era hip-hop, the pair of brothers is seamlessly blending their unique personalities into one coherent sound. Their tracks are adorned with irresistibly catchy hooks that linger in the mind long after the music fades. The magic of Da Foundation lies in their ability to produce heavy bars, rich with substance, and layer them in rhythmic tendrils that coil around the melody and beat. This dynamic duo is exploring profoundly relatable content in their verses, creating a lyrical tapestry that resonates with the very essence of the human spirit.

Raised in East Orange, New Jersey, Mustaiin “Mu Smoova Don” and Malcolm “Mile Casso” developed an appreciation for music in their formative years. Although their rapping and songwriting began as a hobby in their youth, the fusion of freestyling and deliberate lyricism eventually became an art form. After the brothers relocated to Greensboro, North Carolina, they began collaborating and taking their work more seriously. Da Foundation was formed and immediately gained attention from the local scene. Appearing at open mic nights led to opportunities for bigger performances. Soon, Da Foundation was headlining their own events and building a solid fanbase. Their career began to unfold through various mixtapes and projects that serve as milestones in their story.

Da Foundation’s newest single, “Skeptical,” addresses the feelings of doubt experienced from peers during a challenging period when support and encouragement were crucial. In this context, Da Foundation found it necessary to depend on their own resilience to ensure that the current moment does not mirror the skepticism they faced. The track was produced by Dreez of Global Sound. The group’s distinctive approach to this song is unconventional and markedly different from their earlier works. “We didn’t think it could fit on any project we were working on, we had to release it as a single,” stated Casso.
