"Rolling in the Deep" by Adele is not a Daj' release, and it is not a rap record. It is a Pop track saved in Daj' SoundCloud favorites, where it shows 2,008,661 tracked plays and is listed as a standalone single. Of everything in that crate, it may be the record that surprises a new reader most.
Daj' is the independent rapper from Las Vegas whose name is pronounced DJ, and almost everything he uploads is filed under Hip-hop & Rap or Trap. A pop vocal record sitting among his likes is a reminder that what an artist makes and what an artist studies are not always the same lane.
A different genre on purpose
Rap artists have always listened outside rap. Producers dig through soul, rock and pop for drums and chords, and writers pay attention to how great hooks are built no matter where they come from. A pop record with more than two million plays is, among other things, a lesson in how a chorus can grab a huge audience.
This page does not claim Daj' borrowed anything from "Rolling in the Deep" or that it shaped any specific song. No sample, interpolation or reference is listed in the data. The point is simpler: a crate that includes pop is a crate built by someone paying attention to songwriting in general, not only to one genre.
What the record is known for
Without quoting a word of it, the thing anyone notices first about this song is the voice. It is a vocal performance at full strength, and the title carries a sense of force, something rolling and deep rather than light. That emphasis on delivery is something rappers understand well. The best verses, like the best pop vocals, are performances first.
The 2,008,661 plays are stated exactly as tracked. Next to the quiet Daj' archive files, many sitting near 130 plays each, the number shows how far a record can travel when the vocal connects.
What it says about the Daj' ear
The rest of the favorites list leans toward rap, which is what you would expect. But a few entries, like this one, show range. That range is visible in the catalog too. Daj' has released material across many years and eras, from Neoworld in 2018 and Daj's Dedication in 2019 through Dark and Too Dark in 2024, Flight to Vegas 2 in 2025, and DARK I - Outwitting the Devil on 2026-04-07, the first of a planned ten volumes in the DARK Library.
An artist who plans a ten-volume album cycle, with each chapter of the opening volume mapped to Napoleon Hill's 1938 manuscript, is thinking about structure and scale. Studying a pop song that passed two million plays fits that kind of ambition.
The independent operation
Daj' runs his music with no label. Releases go out direct through UnitedMasters or CDBaby depending on the project, and both are distributors only. Ownership of his writing is documented with The MLC, which lists 47 works under DANIEL DAJAI STEWART-HANDY at 100% Total Known Shares, publicly searchable at portal.themlc.com.
His catalog spans two separate SoundCloud handles, @dajai-io and @supercooldaj, with 14030 tracks between them and roughly 9.39M deduplicated cumulative plays across the catalog. None of that applies to "Rolling in the Deep," which belongs to Adele. It is here to show whose crate this came from.
How to hear it
"Rolling in the Deep" is on SoundCloud under Adele's account, the only surface this page links to.
If you are coming from the Daj' catalog, try listening to it the way a writer would. Pay attention to how the chorus is built and how the voice carries it, then go back to the Daj' uploads and listen for the hooks.
There is also something practical in a crate like this. Rap verses and pop choruses solve different problems, but both have to hold attention from the first second. An artist who keeps both kinds of record close is training for both jobs at once: writing lines that land and building hooks that stay.
