Emerging Chicago Artist D2X Releases New Single "FIRE" & Announces New EP The Hunger Era

Written By: I'Ja Marie

Chicago’s music scene continues to thrive with the emergence of artists like D2x, who’s quickly becoming one of the city’s most promising voices. After the success of his heartfelt and introspective debut project Hotel 1105, D2x is back with his latest single, “FIRE,” which serves as the lead track from his upcoming EP The Hunger Era, set to drop on October 29, 2024.

Produced by frequent collaborators Ro Moore and Gold Haze, The Hunger Era promises to build on the personal themes that made Hotel 1105 resonate so deeply. D2x’s ability to blend real-life experiences with a fresh sound has already garnered him a loyal following, and “FIRE” sets the tone for what’s to come. The single, produced by Ro Moore, carries a high-energy, raw, and passionate vibe that speaks directly to his hunger for success and growth as an artist.

Listening to "FIRE" instantly took me back to the days of Lupe Fiasco’s sharp lyricism, especially his ability to tell stories that challenge and uplift. There's something about D2x’s flow and content that echoes Lupe’s influence, a perfect mix of introspection and empowerment. At the same time, the sheer intensity of the production and D2x's delivery gives me the same adrenaline rush as Fabolous' "Breathe." It's a track that makes you feel like you’re right there with the artist, fighting for every breath and hungry for more.
As we approach the release of The Hunger Era, D2x is showing no signs of slowing down. With backing from notable platforms like Fake Shore Drive and his own D2x Music Group, this EP will undoubtedly be a defining moment for the young artist’s career. His distinct sound and storytelling ability continue to push the boundaries of Chicago’s hip-hop landscape.

Stream “FIRE” now on all platforms and prepare for The Hunger Era dropping on 10.29.24. You won’t want to miss what D2x has in store.
