South London’s lyrical craftsman DC starts the new year on a powerful note with his latest single, “Soldier.” Produced by Dom Valentino, the producer hailed by Dazed and CLASH as one of the UK’s “secret weapons”, the track pairs razor-sharp verses with immersive, atmospheric production.
On “Soldier,” DC delivers the kind of grounded introspection that has become his trademark, weaving resilience and self-awareness through every bar. Valentino’s cinematic beat gives the track space to breathe, balancing grit with grace as DC reflects on loyalty, struggle, and survival in his unmistakable cadence.
Both sonically and lyrically, “Soldier” reinforces why DC remains one of the most distinctive and respected voices in UK rap, a storyteller who turns lived experience into art with poise and precision.
