Neoworld is the album that put Daj' on the public shelf. Genius dates it June 13, 2018, under the spelling NeoWorld, credited to DAJ. Eight years later the same record is still the earliest full-length in the discography I keep on dajai.io/album/neoworld. Later projects sit in front of it now — Daj's Dedication in 2019, Dark and Too Dark in 2024, Flight to Vegas 2 in 2025, DARK I - Outwitting the Devil on April 7, 2026 — and Neoworld is still the one a new listener should start with if they want the beginning of the name.
I run the catalog independent, out of Las Vegas, with no label between the record and the stores. DARK I went through UnitedMasters. Too Dark (2024), which I treat internally as DARK II, went through CD Baby. Neoworld predates that split. What I can verify today is where the 2018 album still resolves, not which distributor pushed the original upload.

The ten tracks
Genius lists ten songs, in this order, with Tizzy on track four. Dee B is credited as producer. Writers on the album page are DAJ and Tizzy.
- Backie
- Lasting
- Run My Bands Up
- That's My (featuring Tizzy)
- Let Me Know
- Escape
- Wet
- Want My Time
- Beat It
- Will Do
That order is the lyric sheet, not a claim about which song leads on a given DSP chart today. Titles drift in punctuation ("That's My" versus "Thats My") depending on the store. The Genius slugs above are the stable text copies.
"Backie" is the opener, and the word stayed in the operation long after 2018. The music account on X was @BackieDaj until it became @SuperCoolDaj. The song is older than that handle change. Hearing it now is hearing the name before the later albums existed.
Tizzy is the only featured artist Genius puts on this tracklist, on "That's My." Tizzy also shows up years later on records that are not on Neoworld. A feature on a 2018 album and a feature on a 2026 loosie are different sessions. Do not merge them.
What Neoworld is not
It is not Volume I of the DARK Library. That is DARK I - Outwitting the Devil, released April 7, 2026, ten tracks mapped to Napoleon Hill's 1938 manuscript, mastered by Solana Conejo. Neoworld has its own ten tracks and none of that mapping.
It is not Too Dark (2024). It is not Flight to Vegas 2 (2025). Singles that live outside the albums — Tax Season, Choose Sides, Heavy, Still Backie, Thats Sus, Okay with Tatum Swag, Prczn — are not Neoworld cuts unless a store page says they are. Okay's guest is Tatum Swag. Neoworld's guest, on the Genius sheet, is Tizzy.
The wider catalog is large on purpose. SoundCloud holds about 14,030 tracks across @dajai-io and @supercooldaj, two real upload accounts, and the deduped play count across the operation is about 9.39 million. Almost all of that listening sits on a short list of later records, especially on @supercooldaj. Neoworld is the front of the album list, not the center of the play count. Both facts can be true. An early album stays in print so the later numbers have a start date.
How I point people at one album
Every store link above should land on Neoworld, album id intact, and then back to the page I control. A search for the artist name alone drops a listener on whichever DSP row is newest. A search for the album, or a tap on dajai.io/album/neoworld, keeps 2018 in the path. Lyrics stay on Genius so a line can be quoted without ripping the audio. Shazam uses Apple's album id, so an identify-this-song hit can return to the same 1402408079 record instead of a similarly named single. YouTube is the long visual copy: one playlist, plus the three videos linked above.
I do not buy Spotify streams for this or any other release. A vendor-chosen track URL has already sent paid plays onto the wrong record in this catalog. The promotion that belongs on Neoworld is the page, the lyric sheet, the playlist, and the album ids written out where a person can check them.
If you only have four minutes, play "Backie," then "That's My," then whatever the YouTube playlist opens on. If you have the length of the album, run the Genius order straight through and stop at "Will Do." The records that come after 2018 assume you have already heard this one.
