Producer-turned-artist Dahi just dropped one of the most intriguing crossover tracks of the year with “How To Pray”, featuring Kendrick Lamar and Amber Mark. Taken from his ambitious solo album Black Boy (Alternative), the track proves Dahi’s transition from behind the boards to center stage is paying off in a massive way.

Why “How To Pray” is Taking Over Alternative Pop

We all know Dahi as the creative force behind massive hip-hop anthems for artists like Drake and Travis Scott (not to mention Kendrick’s classic “Money Trees”). But Black Boy (Alternative) finds him stepping into his own lane, blending alternative pop structures with deep R&B textures and West Coast roots.

“How To Pray” pulls you in immediately with its genre-bending layers:

• Kendrick Lamar’s Feature: Brings that raw, introspective storytelling we crave, anchoring the track with sharp poetic depth.

• Amber Mark’s Vocals: Lifts the song into soaring pop-R&B territory with her effortlessly smooth delivery.

• The Instrumentation: Features lush synth work and organic guitar grooves that lean heavily into that late-90s alternative revival sound.

The Split-Screen Video You Have to Try

If the track itself isn’t enough, the rollout for “How To Pray” introduces a genuinely cool concept for music videos. Dahi dropped a split-screen visual explicitly designed to be watched on two separate smartphones simultaneously. If you line up two devices side-by-side, the cinematic narrative completes itself—a brilliant nod to how we consume and share media today.
