Released today, I love myself and I wanna die captures praytell. at a point where urgency outweighs comfort. The seven-track EP feels immediate, almost intentionally unfinished, as if these songs needed to be released before they could be fully developed. There’s humour underneath the heaviness, but it doesn't make it any lighter. Instead, it sharpens the impact, placing moments of irony next to thoughts that feel unfiltered and painfully current.
The project sits deep inside themes of depression, poverty, and emotional fatigue, written without distance or dramatisation. Praytell. speaks plainly, letting repetition and persistence carry the weight. His background in punk and noise rock seeps through the attitude, a refusal to polish or explain too much. That lineage makes sense here, especially when he states, “When I started the project, I wanted to translate my abilities from experimental noise-rock and punk into hip-hop. In my head, I’m just a punk that has adapted to the times and makes music on a computer, instead of limiting myself to guitar/drums/bass.”
Across mynameispray, nothingudomatters, or fukmylife, the EP moves between unstable beats, curious samples, and vocals that push forward with intent. The production feels deliberately imperfect, allowing tension to remain unresolved. There’s no attempt to offer solutions or redemption arcs, and the tracks sit with discomfort, reflecting a generation shaped by anxiety, alienation, and a sense that the future keeps shrinking.
Every track comes with its own D.I.Y. video, all produced at home, reinforcing the project’s closed-circuit intensity. Praytell. handles everything alone, from writing and recording to mixing, mastering, and artwork. As he puts it, “Lyrically, I just try to be as honest as possible and talk about my life. If I can tell about my problems and thoughts and make someone feel seen, feel like they can relate to the things I say, then that’s really cool.”
