breakout East Tampa rapper Taleban Dooda returns with the poignant new single “Going Global.” Listen HERE and watch HERE via District 18 / Warner Records. Melodic, laid back and full of raw truth, the unfiltered track speaks to the up-and-comer’s lofty ambitions while delivering the poise and raw talent to back it up. It’s the latest single from Dooda as he gears up to release a new project this summer.
“I told my mom I goin’ global, she ain’t believe me, ‘til she see her baby boy on the TV,” the 20-year-old spits over sweet acoustic guitar picking and an intricate down-beat tempo. “Say her friend just called, her son wanna be just like me — I say tell her no he don’t, ’cause this ain’t what he want … it’s the same as when you die, you all alone.” Hard-hitting and intimate, “Going Global” doubles as Dooda’s account of starting out in the rap game.
The new track arrives soon after the soulful “Mind of a Maniac” and “Major Pain,” another introspective track full of emotion and diaristic lyrics. It was preceded by “Come After Me” and the Step Wit A Passion mixtape, which dropped in late 2022 and boasted the hit single “If It Happen It Happen.” That project followed Dooda’s other 2022 release White Chalk & Yellow Tape, which is disarmingly cohesive from front to back. Prior to that, he dropped a series of singles including “Foreigns & Trackhawks,” “Sunset,” and “Call 100 Times.”
Now, with “Going Global,” Dooda continues to bravely share his thoughts and fears while crafting an arresting and infectious anthem that demands to be heard.
