d balenci carves through his own brand of hip-hop with ‘i just want to be happy’

It’s not often you come across an artist who creates a genre within their own genre, but with New Jersey native d balenci, it feels like he’s just done that. Growing influenced heavily by hip-hop music and everything in between, Dylan wanted to make his own stamp on things and bring a modern and enhanced feel to his music and songs and with his latest single ‘i just want to be happy’ he’s certainly done just that.

The track immediately has a nostalgic feel about it with the 80s esque synth/keys melody, and then balenci’s vocal enters and completely switches the mood of the track. He brings a signature and emotive style with his autotuned effect that creates a whole new dynamic. It’s interesting and the song flows with ease, with the meaning behind the track being deeply rooted to d balenci’s heartbreak and dismay. You don’t want to miss this genre bending, emo hip-hop release by this exciting newcomer.
