Gotta say, from writing to production, this EP just stands tall in your discography. Not saying older ones are bad, but this EP has a very special charm to it. Everything feels so professional but also intimate, if it makes any sense.
I've said it before, but it often feels like every track she puts out is her best one. Dice is *constantly* improving her work and it's greatly appreciated.
Wow I didn't expected to see you here! I always loved to watch your streams and videos but discovering that you are listening demondice made me love you more.
I really like 2 sentences in this song: - "The young searching for more, become living expense" - "There no road loaded with silver and gold, it just a treasure you make for you" These two sentences scream in my face that don't just accept being used, work, then die. It motivated me to do more for myself and my family. Thanks Demondice for another amazing song.
This is the perfect track to cap off the journey that is this EP. There's a somewhat triumphant feeling to this song with its sentiment of looking forward despite the hardships and sorrows. All in all, this is an amazing EP. Great work DD.
This song reminds me a lot of "you're an ace, kid" in it's presentation of (what I believe is) the message that despite all the weight of the past and the present, it's up to us to make the best of it and not let it drag us down. Even after all the bull that's come and gone since "Alkatraz," I find it somewhat poetic that your last song here "rhymes" with your last song there, that you've not been deterred from that mindset and you're still standing strong against it all. And to that I say, hell yeah. EDIT: Also I know I've certainly oversimplified the meaning, there are a lot of layers XD
After the raw emotions and darker tone of the other three songs, this finale is so cathartic! It doesn’t shy away from, dismiss, or say good-bye to the pain and mistakes that came before, nor does it gloss over the fact that there will surely still be hard times ahead. To me, it’s a triumphant song about the serenity found in accepting the dark with the light and the inner-strength that can only be achieved through facing your demons. The song may be “fake ass gold” but the hook is bonafide gold. “Survive. Thrive. You are alive. Don’t let em tell ya two and two makes five.” Goddamn! DDK, you took that baseball bat you carry and you smashed this EP out of the park. Helluva way to kick off 2022! Thank you so much for being you, and thanks for the blood, sweat, and tears put into your music. It’s incredible, inspiring, and I love it. Take it from the top, let’s loop it again!
Excited to see your first new EP since becoming a fan! Thanks for the great music. Gotta say, I used to feel a bit like this, thinking if I'd just reach some arbitrary level of success that I'd have nothing to feel bad about...and it really hasn't. There's so much difference between what people are told they may want and what any given person might actually value in their lives. I've been far happier with the idea of just being able to share my art with friends and others who appreciate it, even many people I look up to as fellow creators, and I've got to say thanks for sharing your work to inspire that kind of passion in me the past couple years.
What a fantastic song to end the EP! I love how it feels like a culmination of the themes of the other songs yet adds its own message: life may be full of struggles and to reach success can take a difficult journey, but putting in the work creates your own rewards. Also, I want to bring attention to how awesome the sound effects are! They don't distract from the song, being just enough to spice it up; good additions! Thank you so, so much for doing what you do. You've helped so many people, and please never forget you are appreciated. Once again, thank you. ❤️
Yeah. It's a complex thing in the context of the EP as a whole. Basically it's easy to lose sight of how much you have if ambition (which is good) twists your vision into seeing only what you don't have and maybe you think you should. Also similarly, the path of struggles can blind you to the good things. It can be easy to lose sight of the people on your side if you let yourself get surrounded by negativity.
The use of hollowed instead of hallowed threw me at first, so much i wondered if it was a typo, but I think I might get it now. Something about the phrase "pyrite skies" made me smile.
Damn bro, song after song. I've only heard a few seconds of this one and it's already great. I love the piano. DemonDice coming back with a triumphant return for us to enjoy multiple pieces. Update after listening to more of the song: I love it. Completely up to par with all of her other works. It flows well together, rhymes perfectly in so many places and just generally sounds amazing, with the instrumental really emphasizing the lyrics to beautiful effect. This is an amazing song, just like the rest. She just doesn't miss. The meaning behind the lyrics to great as well, a little subtle, but still generally obvious that anyone could pick up on it.
The beat feels so 90s. Especially in beginning. I dig it. And the lyrics? They got depth to them. The only treasure on this road are the ones you make for yourself....damn.
This is literally everything i could ever ask for in a DD song. Catchy, and with a good message too. Her singing has improved a lot at zero risk of any of her other songwriting abilities. "Don't take what you have for granted, and certainly don't sell it all away goin after something that's gilded rock at best." A good finale to another banger album. I can already tell 2022 is gonna kick ass
as the old saying goes: "All that glitters is not gold." the real treasure in life really are the friendships and love and tenderness and courage we found along the way keep being you, DD, you are a great person
I really like how this turns around the mood of this EP. Starting off with a venting about the struggles of the life you're living, a peek into your life so we understand what you're going through, and hearing how hard it is to handle it all, then finishing with a reminder that none of it is enough to keep you down because you're damn determined to make the most of the life you've gotten. This was beautiful, thank you DDK.
This one feels a bit like "You're an Ace Kid" in that the lyrics are still cynical and grounded, but the message comes off as encouraging to me. This entire EP was incredible DD! Can't wait to see what the surprise is. Edit: YO WTF SHE'S STREAMING IN 10 HOURS!!👀
@@ruz01_7 I got so excited when she said that! Though I noticed that a few others here made the same comparison. Her explanation of all the songs made me love this EP even more.
Every demondice songs that she has realeased while it has a really great rhytm, but the lyrics are what I really like the most. It conveys many hardship and I think people really resonates with it
You inspire me DD. You're so real and you don't sugarcoat things, as life does indeed suck a lot of times, but you still are an optimist that knows there will come good things too! It's a pretty quick observation I know, but I had to say it, you really make me wanna try harder whenever I feel down.
This EP is absolutely wonderful, and the meanings behind each song really does hit hard. I am so glad that of all days for this EP to end, it is the “anniversary” of the day I found DD’s music. Absolutely my personal favorite artist, and I wish everyone a pleasant day with these new beats.
This kind of music ain't always my cup of tea, but there's something about this EP I find really compelling. Your work is very interesting to me, and I really love what I'm hearing, you can tell it's from a place of sincerity and deep reflection. Basically, great stuff, DD! Can't wait to hear more from you in the future!
This song in particular resonates with me, the acknowledgement that things go wrong but you can still get through it and find something worthwhile is super calming. 100/10 gold star
Definitely the most hopeful sounding one of these so far to me. Gives me real "Pick yourself back up, hike up your pants, and keep swinging" vibes. The kinda song some people need to hear.
I think this is a great end to the EP. Demondice had a very intense track "take the bait" and a melancholic song with "dark hour," but she chooses to end the EP with a song with her original style to remind us that she's still in control after all.
I'm actually really glad you chose to put this song today, I feel this one the most. To tell the truth, you put this album out just at the right time as I'm currently at the lowest point of my life, bar none. I won't go into details, but I'm trying to turn things around and your songs helped cushion the drop. I'm thankful you came back and made these songs, I look forward to hear more future songs, if possible. You rock, DD.
I really love those last few lines. They're so uplifting and make for a great ending to the EP. It contrasts really well with the mood the rest of the EP has. Which shows not everything is doom and gloom. That sometimes the real treasure is what you have right infront of you. That being the future you make for yourself. You just gotta take initiative, be the master of your destiny. Its pretty inspirational. "There will be days of sorrow, know we'll be knowing better, there will be a tomorrow" Those really lit a fire in my heart. It makes me want to try harder, even it things are tough, because there's a better day ahead of me. That's at least what I took from those last few lines.
A lot of people have been making comparisons to You’re an Ace, Kid, and yeah it’s very similar. But what I really like about it is that it’s kind of like an epilogue or addendum to Ace. Ace is about not giving up when an opportunity doesn’t live up to your expectations. Someone chased gold only to find pyrite, and it’s basically saying “keep trying and eventually you’ll find that gold!” This song is from someone more experienced. Someone who had coke to realize that the gold won’t bring them happiness, and that the real treasure was the friends made along the way.
Man. This is one of those songs where you're bopping along to it at first, and then you just gotta stop and reflect on what's actually being said, and you realize "damn..... this is art."
This is such a freaking awesome banger. It's impossible not to groove and dance along with the song. I really do love the melancholic, yet still optimistic and uplifting theme and story to the song. It starts with all of the reasons you wanted to reach for those goals and go down this musical journey, but it also shows the legitimate dangers and personal costs of being selfish on that journey and taking advantage of people to achieve what you sought after. I like that very open and honest nature to the song. But, I love the ending and how it tells you to value the people closest to you, the ones who you support you through it all. If you can learn to recognize the true treasures in your life, like the genuine love and support of those who're there for you, you'll get farther and be more fulfilled than going for a hollow, unattainable goal or "fake ass gold." Brilliant work, DDK. I love how you can communicate such a complex and meaningful message while making a badass bop that just makes you want to dance is real talent. Thanks for this song and this entire EP. It was an amazing line up of S tier quality songs. It's great to have you back, DDK. There's no one who makes music quite like you. You're the real gold here. Also, that spoken intro to the song was the best. "When I feel like dyin, then I start rhymin." Classic DemonDice. Not cringe at all. That gave me a good laugh. Love that cheesy, goofy, yet honest side of you, DDK. Welcome back.
This song... it's basically what I'm going through now with my swimming career, as well as the person I'll be 2 1/2 years from now. I don't know what aspired you to make this song, but I know you had to go through a lot of pain and grief. This entire EP has a personality to it that I've never heard before, and I LOVE it. You're amazing. (That "for lies and Pyrite skies" hit me like a freight train. That was brilliant!)
I haven’t listened to the full ep yet and only to them one at a time as they’ve dropped on UA-cam. I’m glad I’ve gotten a bit more time to process them but this one is my favorite so far.
Wow. I mean WOW, this one hits differently doesn't it? Thank you Demondice, you're a true inspiration for so many reasons. I'm in genuine awe of your lyrics. This EP has been a fantastic ride.
I love the message that you can have fake ass gold(something you treasure) and still cherish what you have, even if other people find it worthless and hate on you because of it.
I keep on coming back to this song, it has absolutely blown me away. Im not sure if Karen reads these comments but I hope a vinyl is produced. Id love to buy it. Shirt Gang where you at?
The message of this song is very powerful, and it speaks to a lot of the disillusionment i've been feeling recently with people and the internet So to you DD, and to everyone else here, remember that you are stronger than those who would try and bring you down, and if you rise above it they can't hurt you x
you know, it has happended before that at first a demondice song don't click at first, but something make you come back and listen it again and again, now I just love this song; may be is the meaning in the lyrics, may be is something else, but it kinda cheer me up.
All these songs express so many emotions which "seem in your face" at first glance but have a lot of depth to them, and her flow is impeccable as always. Great song DD!
Hokay. This one is damn good. So dang good. Also I swear DDK has amazing word choices, throwing in roll the dice, Pyrite with a song called fake ass gold. The whole themes. Damn Demon Dice music always has so much to find with multiple listens. and so many multiple listens.
Bro just got another yt account just letting ya know I listen to your songs every night on my Alexa. It has really helped me through lots of anxiety. Idk why. Your music soothes me and helped me focus on studies more. I thank you for that!
This whole EP is just filled with authenticity. Demondice took a good look at herself AND the haters, it's never written from the high horse. Overall it's piece of reflection and self-reflection, and an interesting ride all around. By the end of it, in this song, there's a heavy emphasis on owning your faults along with your accomplishments. I love it, I seriously love it. I'm not a huge fan of most rap but something this honest just hits the right spot for me.
i know this song is new and such, but the lyric “you are alive” like.. saved me for some reason. i suffer from depersonalization and derealization and i usually don’t think im real.. so, idk why that changed me so much for that split second, but thanks, demondice.
Had this on repeat all day on Spotify. This is one of the hardest hitting albums I have ever listened to, and the timing of release is perfect for my circumstances. Thank you DDK
This whole EP was amazing! Every song felt like it built on the last, and all felt incredibly deep and emotional, and made me feel like I can relate to you, even if I can't relate to your life. Thank you so much for brightening my life with these lyrics, and I hope that the outpouring of love and gratitude from these comments can help brighten your way in the darker times.
This is a banger. The beat is a nice upbeat sort of thing, and your lyrics are on point as always. Glad i found you when you released your second op, you're the best female rapper around.
I love you so much. Your music means more to me than I can explain in words, and has helped me through so much. You have so much talent and always leave me speechless with what you do. Keep up what you’re doing DD ~
This song made me cry. After listening to the other songs, this one just hits so hard. You have made me want to be the best version of myself, thank you Demondice!
"Proofs in what you put in" God damn it lmao, great line though. This is by far my favourite track, the piano the backing, it really hits like a late 2000's track. So good.
This song is like that breaking point past her sorrows of the past few songs, and I am very much loving this~ Internet is tough, don't be fooled by the glimmers of pyrite, and forge your path looking for your real treasure. A nice cap-off song indeed to take one out of that sorrow mood
You know DDK? After listening to the whole album a couple times and your stream, I kinda get "i" from Kendrick Lamar kinda vibes from the whole thing. An entire journey from making it big, the issues and problems that you never realized were gonna be there, and then bouncing back up but stronger this time. Amazing album, lyrics and compos, you kicked it out of the park with this one man!
Aah, not only its a blast to listen to, i love the message it sends, and ends the EP in a positive note, something to grove to even if things aren't doing too well. Really inspiring, thanks again Dice
I mean this as a compliment by the way. For some reason, this song reminds me of the style used for knuckles in the Sonic Adventure game. Like Jesus the bars in this song are good, and they sound so natural in the flow.
Yet another track that I resonate with. Folks out there tell me that the world doesn't care about me, especially if I don't have wealth. I know better. Material wealth means nothing if it doesn't make me happy, and it doesn't. Life's roads are indeed barren of silver and gold, but I choose to let love and inner balance be the treasure I make for myself. "Don't let them tell you two and two makes five." Firmly middle-class, living paycheck to paycheck, but I deny the suits who try to give me "advice" on how to live my life, or challenge my world view. Their success with wealth is meaningless to me. Chase what makes you happy, never take it for granted and do not relent. Not for one second. Thank you Demon Dice.
Man these EPs are top-notch. can't believe I just found them now. I could have sworn I was still subscribed to Demon dice but I guess I wasn't. These songs are so good and so intimate.
Thank you for this whole EP, it was so epic and it felt really honest and different from others, I'm not good at writing poethic and long comments but it's just really good to know that you have a place on this channel where you can escape and really be your real self which sometimes can be very hard. Good job on the EP and hope to hear you soon again!

I really like 2 sentences in this song:
- "The young searching for more, become living expense"
- "There no road loaded with silver and gold, it just a treasure you make for you"

This is the perfect track to cap off the journey that is this EP. There's a somewhat triumphant feeling to this song with its sentiment of looking forward despite the hardships and sorrows. All in all, this is an amazing EP. Great work DD.
im pretty sure we still got one more coming
sorry but what is the meaning of EP?
@@meltonvince332 it means extended play, it’s sorta like a shorter album which is usually 10-15 songs I think?

Not to burst your bubble, but there is one more hidden video in the playlist on the channel. It's not over yet I don't think!

I like that very open and honest nature to the song. But, I love the ending and how it tells you to value the people closest to you, the ones who you support you through it all. If you can learn to recognize the true treasures in your life, like the genuine love and support of those who're there for you, you'll get farther and be more fulfilled than going for a hollow, unattainable goal or "fake ass gold." Brilliant work, DDK. I love how you can communicate such a complex and meaningful message while making a badass bop that just makes you want to dance is real talent. Thanks for this song and this entire EP. It was an amazing line up of S tier quality songs. It's great to have you back, DDK. There's no one who makes music quite like you. You're the real gold here. Also, that spoken intro to the song was the best. "When I feel like dyin, then I start rhymin." Classic DemonDice. Not cringe at all. That gave me a good laugh. Love that cheesy, goofy, yet honest side of you, DDK. Welcome back.
Probably the most loopable song in the EP for me, love the sound coming from this track. DD killed it on this beat🔥😈
This song... it's basically what I'm going through now with my swimming career, as well as the person I'll be 2 1/2 years from now. I don't know what aspired you to make this song, but I know you had to go through a lot of pain and grief. This entire EP has a personality to it that I've never heard before, and I LOVE it. You're amazing. (That "for lies and Pyrite skies" hit me like a freight train. That was brilliant!)
I typically don’t like rap, but the way you do it just hits different, it almost feels like a different genre! You can really feel the passion!
The word you're looking for is "hip-hop" and yeah, this track is the best hip-hop I've heard in years.
Damn y’all have not been listening to hip hop in a while then.
look into hip hop
Keep an eye out for what Kendrick's dropping
“I typically don’t like rap, but…” 🤓
I haven’t listened to the full ep yet and only to them one at a time as they’ve dropped on UA-cam. I’m glad I’ve gotten a bit more time to process them but this one is my favorite so far.
0:18 that’s not a choir, that’s one ironmouse.
Wow. I mean WOW, this one hits differently doesn't it? Thank you Demondice, you're a true inspiration for so many reasons. I'm in genuine awe of your lyrics. This EP has been a fantastic ride.
I love the message that you can have fake ass gold(something you treasure) and still cherish what you have, even if other people find it worthless and hate on you because of it.
by far my favorite song in the ep, the flow, and the groove in the music is so perfect.
The shoutout to Proof. DEMONDICE knows the culture. Respect
I keep on coming back to this song, it has absolutely blown me away. Im not sure if Karen reads these comments but I hope a vinyl is produced. Id love to buy it.
Shirt Gang where you at?
This song has become my therapy session
The message of this song is very powerful, and it speaks to a lot of the disillusionment i've been feeling recently with people and the internet
So to you DD, and to everyone else here, remember that you are stronger than those who would try and bring you down, and if you rise above it they can't hurt you x
The beats on this track are some of my favorites, and I can hear your emotion in the lyrics.
my guy drops four songs in a row
and all all of them are bangers
I'm so glad you found a way to come back to this channel ❤️
you know, it has happended before that at first a demondice song don't click at first, but something make you come back and listen it again and again, now I just love this song; may be is the meaning in the lyrics, may be is something else, but it kinda cheer me up.
All these songs express so many emotions which "seem in your face" at first glance but have a lot of depth to them, and her flow is impeccable as always. Great song DD!
nada como una rola de demondice antes de dormir, soñare cosas chidas
Concuerdo
tambien es bueno para despertar~
Iiiiiiiiiiiih o cara curte a rola da demondice viiiishhhh
@@JuneIsFinallyHere BR realmente está em todos os lugares.
@@gabrielshimabukuro546 kkkkkkkkkkkkk
Hokay. This one is damn good. So dang good. Also I swear DDK has amazing word choices, throwing in roll the dice, Pyrite with a song called fake ass gold. The whole themes.
Damn Demon Dice music always has so much to find with multiple listens. and so many multiple listens.
Really needed this today. Thanks again for everything. You rock.
lyrics on here be hitting extremly hard plus some words not everyone is gonna get, good techinque and glad ur back
Ill never get tired of your flow
Bro just got another yt account just letting ya know I listen to your songs every night on my Alexa. It has really helped me through lots of anxiety. Idk why. Your music soothes me and helped me focus on studies more. I thank you for that!
This whole EP is just filled with authenticity. Demondice took a good look at herself AND the haters, it's never written from the high horse. Overall it's piece of reflection and self-reflection, and an interesting ride all around. By the end of it, in this song, there's a heavy emphasis on owning your faults along with your accomplishments. I love it, I seriously love it. I'm not a huge fan of most rap but something this honest just hits the right spot for me.
i know this song is new and such, but the lyric “you are alive” like.. saved me for some reason. i suffer from depersonalization and derealization and i usually don’t think im real.. so, idk why that changed me so much for that split second, but thanks, demondice.
Had this on repeat all day on Spotify. This is one of the hardest hitting albums I have ever listened to, and the timing of release is perfect for my circumstances. Thank you DDK
This whole EP was amazing! Every song felt like it built on the last, and all felt incredibly deep and emotional, and made me feel like I can relate to you, even if I can't relate to your life. Thank you so much for brightening my life with these lyrics, and I hope that the outpouring of love and gratitude from these comments can help brighten your way in the darker times.
This is a banger. The beat is a nice upbeat sort of thing, and your lyrics are on point as always. Glad i found you when you released your second op, you're the best female rapper around.
jesus christ this song fucking owns so hard. still hits as hard as it did the very first time
I love you so much. Your music means more to me than I can explain in words, and has helped me through so much. You have so much talent and always leave me speechless with what you do. Keep up what you’re doing DD ~
I’ve been listening to this one on loop for the past two days help
The singing part of this track also reminds me of my favorite meal I had at a certain fine dining restaurant.
i come back to that song over and over again, and it still hits hard home
Appreciate this encore song during Kawaii Kon 2022.
The song has definitely grown on me, it's my fav of the album now after like 30 loops. I appreciate every words and notes in it!
This song made me cry. After listening to the other songs, this one just hits so hard.
You have made me want to be the best version of myself, thank you Demondice!
Last one it's been one helluva come back
Every song this album has been really meaningful. Really just a fantastic album overall. Keep up up, Karen, it's great to see you back!
"Proofs in what you put in" God damn it lmao, great line though.
This is by far my favourite track, the piano the backing, it really hits like a late 2000's track. So good.
This song is like that breaking point past her sorrows of the past few songs, and I am very much loving this~
Internet is tough, don't be fooled by the glimmers of pyrite, and forge your path looking for your real treasure. A nice cap-off song indeed to take one out of that sorrow mood
You know DDK? After listening to the whole album a couple times and your stream, I kinda get "i" from Kendrick Lamar kinda vibes from the whole thing.
An entire journey from making it big, the issues and problems that you never realized were gonna be there, and then bouncing back up but stronger this time. Amazing album, lyrics and compos, you kicked it out of the park with this one man!
Nobody's talking about it but the minimalist art has impact for some reason. I just love everything about this production.
Aah, not only its a blast to listen to, i love the message it sends, and ends the EP in a positive note, something to grove to even if things aren't doing too well.
Really inspiring, thanks again Dice
This is the new anthem fr. Makes me wanna cry and follow my dreams so good
This song alone provides at least a quarter of my motivation in life. Thank you DDK!
I mean this as a compliment by the way. For some reason, this song reminds me of the style used for knuckles in the Sonic Adventure game. Like Jesus the bars in this song are good, and they sound so natural in the flow.
I don't know why but this felt so nostalgic. Gave me some 2000's rap vibes.
Absolute Bop. My favorite of the new songs honestly. They’re all amazing, but this is the one I’m gonna be putting into my “anytime” playlist.
This song, and this EP, is anything but fake ass gold!
your music has saved my life, and i really mean that
thank you
I ADORE the early Kanye energy of this beat, hell yes. Always have time for piano, soul claps and a pitched up vocal.
Yet another track that I resonate with. Folks out there tell me that the world doesn't care about me, especially if I don't have wealth.
I know better.
Material wealth means nothing if it doesn't make me happy, and it doesn't.
Life's roads are indeed barren of silver and gold, but I choose to let love and inner balance be the treasure I make for myself.
"Don't let them tell you two and two makes five." Firmly middle-class, living paycheck to paycheck, but I deny the suits who try to give me "advice" on how to live my life, or challenge my world view. Their success with wealth is meaningless to me.
Chase what makes you happy, never take it for granted and do not relent. Not for one second.
Thank you Demon Dice.
I have become obsessed with this song. This is now my top favorite on the album.
Man these EPs are top-notch. can't believe I just found them now. I could have sworn I was still subscribed to Demon dice but I guess I wasn't. These songs are so good and so intimate.
Thank you for this whole EP, it was so epic and it felt really honest and different from others, I'm not good at writing poethic and long comments but it's just really good to know that you have a place on this channel where you can escape and really be your real self which sometimes can be very hard. Good job on the EP and hope to hear you soon again!
That laugh in the beginning cured my sadness for today, 10/10
