Where "Grateful EP Vol. 2" Fits in Da Gifto’s Discography

For those familiar with Da Gifto’s earlier work—specifically the Midnight Rituals EP (2022) or his remix of Awen’s "Silent Water"—Vol. 2 represents a significant artistic leap. Earlier releases showcased a producer with technical skill but occasionally generic song structures. Da Gifto - Grateful EP Vol. 2

Here, Da Gifto has found his voice. The "Grateful" series has become his signature. Where Vol. 1 was about the struggle to find light, Vol. 2 is about living comfortably in that light. It is a more confident, less anxious record. You can hear the smile in the synth stabs; you can feel the relaxed shoulder of the drummer in the swung hi-hats.

A Continuation of a Journey

For those familiar with Da Gifto’s work, the "Grateful" series is the core of his artistic identity. While Vol. 1 introduced us to his heart for worship and his smooth vocal delivery, Vol. 2 feels like a maturation. The production is tighter, the lyrical vulnerability is deeper, and the confidence is palpable.

The EP picks up exactly where the narrative should: in a state of reflection. In a world that constantly shouts for "more," Da Gifto pauses to celebrate what has already been given. Released on June 9, 2023 , Grateful EP Vol

4. "No More Running"

Shifting into alternative R&B territory, this track features a guest verse from burgeoning singer Amara Rose. The chemistry is palpable as they trade verses about confronting generational trauma. Da Gifto’s delivery is hushed but urgent, as if he’s confessing in a cathedral. The lyric "I used to run from the mirror / Now I shake hands with the stranger in the rearview" stands out as one of the most profound moments on the record.
