destroyyyyer - LIFE IS JUST A MOMENT

I had been in a complete drought of being able to make music (or really do anything) since October 2024 until February. Right when I dropped No Solace I started going to a psychiatrist and he put me on antidepressants that made me feel really good as soon as I started taking them, but I soon learned that this was just a placebo effect and the pills were way too strong for me, causing me to have emotional breakdowns and mood swings every 5 minutes, I couldn’t bare it, but I kept writing music to help me cope with myself, in hopes that I’d be able to finally start recording vocal music again as I haven’t been able to put myself to do so since May 2024. However, my living situation changed in February 2025 significantly which led me and still has led me to not be able to fully ingest myself into what I was planning for the next dw destroyer mixtape, so to not waste my newly gained motivation I resorted to making another beat tape, with No Solace I wanted to go back to my roots of using samples on every song like I was attempting to do with The Journey of Isolation, and thought that that really encapsulated the picture of what I wanted to do when I was 13, but not enough, so with this album I just kept flipping all kinds of samples for 2 months straight in hopes that I could really make the final product that younger me would really be proud of, and I think this album really captured what made me love making music in the first place. I sampled over 125 songs on this album and the meaning behind some of these songs are incredibly impactful for me personally and I am insanely proud of how this project turned out. Happiness for me is temporary and I wanted to make the entire album a very upbeat fun sample flip project, but the more my depression started to take over midst me having to switch to different antidepressants for cost reasons, my very depressed mood came back immediately from withdrawals of the previous pills and it led to me making some of my most personal beats towards the latter half of this album, every beat on this project was made from February-April 2025, with the exception of the interludes and outro, which was meant for a dw destroyer EP I wanted to make back in August 2024 when my depression was almost at it’s worst and I was contemplating killing myself, and leaving that EP (as grim awaits me, pt. 0) behind with very suicidal lyrics and having that be the final release I ever put out, I’m so glad that I’m still here and able to keep expressing myself in a way that makes me feel comfortable with myself, the note on the cover was meant to be a spoken word interlude for the album, however I figured it would’ve thrown off the flow of the album immensely. The last few songs, similar to my last album, is dedicated to a guy I truly miss a lot <3, Jamari if you ever see this, your support for me since 2020 has meant the most to me because you were one of the first that truly ever gave a shit about any music I made or any of my friends made, and you being really the only person that cared about my feelings when I was down a few years back, meant everything to me, I would do anything to be able to talk with you again, I love you so much <3. I sampled a song from your EP a few years ago on Buck, and if you ever want to come back and work on music again I’d be more than happy to work with you 😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️. I thought of the concept for the cover on April Fools, and Zack (Xeno Fiji) helped me fully realize it and made the final version of the cover for me, I hope we get to start on D&W Vol 2 soon, shoutout to Vega as well I sampled both of y'all multiple times on this album. While most of the songs in the first half are really upbeat and just me flipping samples in a fun way, the 2nd half has some of my most personal songs ever (the note on the cover being really personal to me as well), opening up about my disorders, my isolation, my addiction, my lovesickness, my abuse as a child and what it led to (abandonment issues, major lack of self confidence, turning into 'the quiet kid' because of it, being too scared to open up about my autism, etc.), but really my life in general. The entire album is just a look into my taste as a music listener and musician, as well as different pieces of my childhood and now adulthood being meshed together into one giant collage of a sampledelia album. This is my most ambitious project yet, and I’m very proud of the outcome of my hard work from February until now, and I hope that after my motivation comes back when this project is out I can keep this trajectory going, thank you so much to everyone who’s been supporting me since I started making music 8 years ago, this is all I ever want to do and I’m so glad my art is starting to come out the way that I want it to.
