Los Angeles, CA – AUGUST 2025 – #DontBeAfraid

Emerging hip-hop duo Caddy Pack & Pavy have released "Don't Be Afraid," a powerful anthem that transforms personal struggle into collective empowerment. Produced by doom.got.beats, the track delivers an urgent message of self-belief and resilience that resonates with today's social justice movements. Executive produced by Katrell The Phenomenal.

The Song That Speaks to Our Times

In an era where mental health awareness, anti-bullying initiatives, and human dignity are at the forefront of social discourse, “Don’t Be Afraid” emerges as more than just music – it’s a movement.
The track’s core message challenges listeners to recognize their inherent worth while confronting the systems and voices that seek to diminish them.

Key lyrics that define the movement:

• “Look into the mirror, recognize that it’s you / Trust in what I be saying because it’s true”
• “You’re stronger than the shadows, yeah, you won’t lose this battle”
• “Don’t you look at them and think that you don’t do enough”

Mental Health Advocacy:
The song directly confronts fear, self-doubt, and emotional resilience, offering hope to those struggling with mental health challenges.

Just recently Da Foundation dropped their second independent studio album Sabbat Noir which caters to their audience in unique fashion. Coming from uptempo projects like “Money Neva Sleepz” and “Live Suffer Celebrate”. Da Foundation’s subtle approach to the new project displays their growth as artists tremendously in its structure, lyricism, production and style. 

Da Foundation stated in the past when creating a project they would like to receive countless amounts of production from various producers. With Sabbat Noir that just wasn’t the case. Da Foundation specifically hand picked the production and sounds you hear on this album. Almost as if they knew what direction they wanted to go in before actual songs were complete. Rumor has it Sabbat Noir II is in the conservation.

Seen in the studio with none other than Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling Latin producer Lil Geniuz, Miami’s rising star RichKiidNick has fans and industry insiders asking the same question:

Is an album on the way?

After a string of emotional hits, viral moments, and iced-out visuals, RichKiidNick is proving he’s more than just a lifestyle — he’s a movement. Known for his melodic pain-infused flows, boss energy, and signature Miami shine, Nick’s link-up with Lil Geniuz has the streets AND the blogs talking.

Da Foundation has recently performed at the Levono Center in Raleigh, NC. but the movement will not stop there. Continuing their journey, Da Foundation, recently released their album Sabbat Noir on May 20, 2025. Da Foundation continues to create music that is relatable, as they speak from existing moments as well as the past.

"Lust Paradise is a product of relief. It also can be a product of accountability. We often associate lust with love or love with lust and never hold ourselves accountable to the outcome...." Casso stated during the post album review of Sabbat Noir. "It’s hard to single out a track and say it has the most impact when each song represents something unique. In a space where we focus on substance in our music each song has its own impact equally."

Da Foundation speaks from the heart when they are in the music studio, which is why whenever these artists have a chance to perform on stage, they leave the crowd applaud. 

The combination between Mu Smoova and Mile Casso only creates lighting and heat. Producers like Emmanuel Williams as Manny Beats Chi, vTomic and Track Pros and Dreez of Global Sound, all would say, these two are magical and one of a kind when they are in the studio.

Da Foundation performed a fans favorite City of Gold and Lust Paradise well as Joe Lighting and Pussy. 

"Favorite songs is a tie between Lust Paradise and City of Gold I just really enjoy the beat and tempo.." Mu Smoova stated.

Da Foundation says this album is going to raise the bar. Stay tuned!
