Hodder starts off a new release with brutal honesty, and it’s officially an alternative rap song about the problems many people are quietly dealing with right now. “Lifeless” is based on real-life events, prioritizing truth over comfort and thought over entertainment.
The song is about struggle, especially the stress of making ends meet, and captures the emotional weight of a generation under intense pressure from expectations and circumstances. “Lifeless” honestly shows hardship, forcing you to confront the discomfort and the acceptance that follow.
One part of the song addresses financial and emotional problems, while another part addresses people who care more about their status and image, and only show the best parts of their lives. This duality makes the song’s message stronger by highlighting how performance and reality are increasingly disconnected in modern culture.
GhostboyRJ, a well-known young hip-hop producer from Toronto, produced this track, ensuring the message remains the most important thing by balancing the mood with moderation. Mixed by Josh Kelly, each part seems carefully planned, letting the vocals come through without detracting from the instruments’ importance.
“Lifeless” accurately reflects the time, acknowledging both the hard work and the surrounding illusion. Hodder sees himself as deeply involved in the reality he describes. Hodder combines country-inspired elements with alternative rap to create a song that is both familiar and very modern. “Lifeless” is a mirror of the present, telling you to keep looking.
