JRDee – Walls Of A Cocoon

Walls Of A Cocoon (WOAC) is a reflective conceptual project addressing some thoughts, walls and obstacles that have been on my mind for quite some time. Inspired by To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar (especially the poem at the very end of Mortal Man), I wanted to tell an ever growing story with the butterfly analogy in a different light. The incubation cocoon state. Another thing I wanted to try was a jazzy, funky, hip-hop sound I felt the UK has not explored, trying sounds that are more experimental and sonically different to the norm. WOAC is my first project with varying song styles, many of which are outside my comfort zone like doing melodies, singing (I wouldn’t call myself a singer), and working on how to write captivating yet meaningful hooks.
