To Be A Man - Dax ft Darius Rucker (Country)  Dax returns for his fifth entry with “To Be A Man” (see our previous reviews of “Life”, “The Abyss”, “God’s Eyes” and “The Devil’s Calling”) to surprise us yet again—and we’re not talking about the mic drop appearance of Darius Rucker. No, here Dax mostly leaves his rhymes behind for a soul stirring country number—yes, country—where he duets with the one and only Darius Rucker. Now what isn’t different here is Dax’s dedication to meaningful lyrics and messaging, this time discussing the responsibility of fatherhood and what it is to be a man. Production wise, it’s your classic mainstream country crossover—our first time hearing this from Dax—and continues to prove that Dax is a versatile, multi-talented and prolific musician with a hell of a lot to say.

Best Lyric: “It’s not ‘bout how you feel but what you provide inside that home.”
