Not every page on this desk is about a Daj' record. Some of them are about the records sitting in his favorites. "Gotta Find A Lover" by Roy Ayers Ubiquity is one of those. It is a standalone single, not attached to an album in the data we have, and it shows up in Daj's SoundCloud listening graph with 2,520 tracked plays and 0 likes. That is the whole receipt. We are not going to dress it up.
So why give it three minutes? Because an independent artist's favorites are a map. You can learn a lot about how someone builds a catalog by looking at what they keep coming back to, and this one is in the rotation. This post is written from the listener's chair, not the artist's. Daj' did not make this song. He is a fan of it, the same way you might be after one spin.
The Sound of This Cut
We are going to be honest about the limits here. The track data does not list a producer, a release date, a sample, or a lineup, and this desk does not invent any of those. If you want the liner-note details, go to the source and read the credits yourself. What we can talk about is the record as it presents itself.
Start with the title. "Gotta Find A Lover" is a want, stated plainly. No metaphor, no irony, no hedge. It is a search, and the word "gotta" turns it from a wish into a requirement. That framing matters more than people think. A title like that tells you the song is built around a feeling that is still in motion, still unresolved, still out looking.
Then look at the billing: Roy Ayers Ubiquity. Not a solo name, a name plus a unit. That credit format tells you this is presented as a group sound, the work of a band identity rather than one person alone in a room. When you press play, listen with that in mind. Pay attention to how the parts trade space, who carries the melody, and where the record leaves room to breathe.
The best way to hear it is the way it lives in the graph: as a single, on its own, start to finish. No album sequencing around it, no skit before it. Just the cut.
Where It Sits in the Listening Graph
This track comes from Daj's SoundCloud favorites and listening data, which is a different thing from his release catalog. It is not a Daj' single, not a feature, and not part of any of his albums. Keeping that line clean is part of how this site works.
What the numbers say, exactly as tracked: 2,520 plays, 0 likes. The play count shows it gets real listening time. The zero likes is just a zero. It does not mean anything dramatic; it means this record got played rather than bookmarked. We report both because that is the deal on this desk: numbers as given, never rounded up, never spun.
For a new fan, the useful takeaway is that Daj' listens deep and listens wide. A favorites list that includes a band-billed single like this one says the ear behind the catalog is not only tuned to whatever is current. Interpreting exactly how that shows up in his own records is speculation, and we will leave that to you after you have heard both.
The DARK Library and Why Curation Matters
If you are new here, the main thing to know about Daj' right now is the DARK Library: a planned 10-volume album cycle. Volume I, "DARK I - Outwitting the Devil," dropped on 2026-04-07. Each chapter maps to Napoleon Hill's 1938 manuscript "Outwitting the Devil," and the volume sits at Kether on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. It was mastered by Solana Conejo.
"Too Dark" from 2024 is referred to internally as DARK II, and it went out through a separate distributor from DARK I. The rest of the album run includes "Flight to Vegas 2" (2025), "Dark" (2024), "Daj's Dedication" (2019), and "Neoworld" (2018). Singles and EPs on the books include "Tax Season," "Choose Sides," "Heavy," "Still Backie," "Thats Sus," "Okay" featuring Tatum Swag, and "Prczn."
The reason this matters on a page about someone else's song: a project called a Library is a curation project. It is about building a body of work you can walk through in order. Looking at what an artist listens to is the reader's version of the same exercise.
The Business Side: Public Receipts
Daj' operates out of Las Vegas, Nevada, as an independent artist with no label. Distribution is direct, through UnitedMasters or CDBaby depending on the release. Those are distributors, not labels, and nothing about the setup involves label backing.
Some receipts you can check yourself:
- Publishing: 47 works registered with The MLC under DANIEL DAJAI STEWART-HANDY, all 47 at 100% Total Known Shares. Search it at portal.themlc.com.
- Catalog scale: 14030 SoundCloud tracks and roughly 9.39M cumulative plays, deduped.
- Dual SoundCloud ops: two real handles, @supercooldaj and @dajai-io, each carrying separate uploads.
- Stems as IP: the stems from DARK I are published as intellectual property under Code Black CBA.
The brand side runs alongside the music. Code Black Associates (CBA) is the athletics and culture brand. Streamers University is the creator education arm. Put together, it is a sovereign independent posture: the artist owns the publishing, controls distribution, and builds brands around the work instead of waiting for someone else to build them.
