A Soundtrack for the Grind
“My Year” isn’t just a catchy title—it’s a declaration. When asked about the inspiration behind the single, SaucyXL explained, “This is a track inspired by the dedication and hard work it took to make it to this point so far. Stating the point that this is my year to break into the music industry.” That relentless drive is woven throughout every bar and beat of the track, making it an anthem for dreamers and grinders alike.
The single, which appears as track #7 on The Gold Tape—a project released on September 25, 2022—has been steadily gaining momentum and building buzz. It reflects SaucyXL’s journey not just as an artist, but as someone who's pushed past challenges to chase a bigger vision.
From the Crib to the Booth
The creation of “My Year” came from humble beginnings. Rather than a high-end studio, SaucyXL recorded the track at a friend’s house. “My homie had a mic and setup, and I recorded at his crib,” he says. “I had the hook already written down and I freestyled the rest of the song based on the emotions I was feeling and what was going on at the time.”
That off-the-cuff creativity brought out some of SaucyXL’s most honest and intense bars to date. He found the beat—produced by Pablo Crazy—on YouTube. As soon as he heard it, he knew it was the one. “Thought it was fire and decided to record over it,” he recalls. That instinct led to something special.
A Message of Self-Belief and Determination
At its core, “My Year” is about more than just music—it’s about mindset. SaucyXL uses the track to inspire others, showing that when you combine hard work with self-belief, anything is possible. “You can do anything you set your mind to and end up blowing your own mind in the process,” he says. That message resonates deeply with listeners who are striving for more in their own lives.
And the fans have taken notice. The response so far has been overwhelmingly positive. “I’ve been getting a lot of feedback of people saying ‘This should go #1’ and I have a radio-ready record,” he says. “So it’s been all love shown for the track.”
Lit Sessions and Organic Vibes
SaucyXL lights up when reflecting on the recording session for “My Year.” “Yeah I remember folks was going crazy when I was dropping those bars—it was a very lit session.” That energy isn’t just in the room—it comes through in the final product. You can hear the passion, the confidence, and the hunger in every line.
As for what this track represents in terms of his evolution, SaucyXL is proud of how far he’s come. “I feel that this track is one of my best singles I’ve released so far, and fans should expect a lot more of the same energy for upcoming releases.”
Visuals on the Way and More to Come
