The song "Daftar
AktifQQQ Sekarang" is a track from the group Daftar. "Daftar AktifQQ
Sekarang" features Yousaf and is his first single. The song was released
on July 13, 2020. "Daftar AktifQQ Sekarang" peaked at number 2 on the
iTunes Australian charts and number two on the Australian iTunes charts.
Daftar released this
song because he wanted to show that he is not afraid to be different. He wants
to break away from the usual format of rap and break away from typical rap
sounds. The song has lyrics and melodies that seem different and out of the box
but his way of talking keeps it familiar.
Yousaf is a regular in
many music videos by The Neptunes, BeatKantix, and others and has been working
with them for about four years. He said that Daftar was "beyond his
expectations". His vocals on the song "Daftar AktifQQ Sekarang"
were a dream come true.
Yousaf explained that
he wanted to make an album, "People will listen to all the way
through". He said that he just wrote a song and decided to record it. He
wanted the songs to be free and not like most rappers who have songs that cost
thousands of dollars to record.
"Daftar aktifqq Sekarang" contains some verses from The Neptunes, including "Dark Is
Black". The beat is not very "dark" and is reminiscent of Kool
& The Gang, however Yousaf still didn't want to sound like the other
artists. He wanted to experiment and produce a unique sound.
The lead of the song is
"Guero. Yousaf is one of the best singers in South America and he is also
a great rapper. Yousaf told Pitchfork that this is one of his favorite verses
in the song because "Guero is amazing".
Yousaf said that he was
inspired by a video clip featuring Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez and a young
boy asking, "How do you play?" "I was like, 'I don't know, how
do you dance?' " The video clip was popularized as a music video and
Yousaf's verse was added to it.
Yousaf said that the
song is a step in the right direction but it isn't enough to actually break
away from the rap trap. "We need to be better than that," he said. In
the end, he hopes that he will be able to contribute to the music industry and
create music that is unique and is not typical.
