NEW MUSIC: “Proud” by AntyD
“Proud” by AntyD
This joint is not flashy. It’s not chasing a trend. It’s heartfelt. That’s what makes it stand out.
“Proud” speaks directly to his kids. It’s part reflection, part reassurance. He reminds them they carry his name, his energy, and their mother’s pedigree. He speaks on discipline, ADHD, and fitting in at school—without ever sounding preachy. These lines aren’t for likes. They’re for his own.
The verses move like conversation. He recalls teething nights, first steps, and everyday parenting moments. There’s real tenderness here. It never crosses into corny. He says what a lot of dads think but don’t always get to say out loud.
The hook ties it all together. “Even when I’m not around… just know I’m proud.” That line lingers. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being present—even in spirit.
AntyD keeps his delivery grounded. No overproduction. No theatrics. Just truth over a calm, steady beat. The emotion lives in the lyrics.
“Proud” is the type of record you send to your kids. Or your parents. Or anyone who needs to hear they matter. It speaks to generations without losing focus on the present.
That’s probably why it continues to gain traction. This week, it enters the All Genre / International Chart at Number Nine. And it earns that spot not by chasing what’s popular, but by speaking from the heart.
